Private Sector Employers

in the current economy, your business success depends on new ways of thinking. We also think that when we come out of the recession, the businesses that survive will be stronger and will exhibit nimbleness and flexibility. At Workforce Alliance we are eager to help Palm Beach County businesses take advantage of all of the many resources available. Here are some free, valuable services provided to help your business adapt and grow:

• ONLINE RESOURCES - Use us for your hiring needs. List your jobs at http://www.employflorida.com It is a free recruitment tool which cuts cost and we can do some pre-screening for you. You can also set up a resume scout to automatically find resumes which have key skills and it will notify you automatically.
• FUNDING FOR TRAINING - We also have hiring incentives, information on tax incentives and even matching dollars to train your existing employees if they need that training to retain their jobs. 
• HIRING AND SCREENING FOR STIMULUS PROJECTS - When you start your stimulus package projects which will create jobs, require in the agreement that the contractors list their jobs at www.employflorida.com which should extend to their subcontractors as well. A step further would be to implement a “first source” hiring requirement which means that the employer must check with Workforce Alliance to see if we have an unemployed person registered in our system who might be able to fill a job opening created under the contract.
