The Alabama State Employment Service is a good place to begin your efforts to
find qualified prospective employees.
The basic function of the Alabama State Employment Service and the ultimate
objective toward which its many programs are directed is the placement of
workers. There is an Employment Office (One-Stop Center) listed for each county
in Alabama on the Department of Industrial Relations Web site:
http://es.dir.alabama.gov/Employer/index.html
This site also presents other employer related assistance that is available.
Employers pay for this service through federal unemployment taxes. There is
never a fee for employers or applicants. The Employment Service has proven
itself for more than fifty years to be an efficient, cost effective system for
putting people and jobs together. On any one day, the Employment Service has
access to thousands of job seekers locally, statewide, and across the nation.
Some of the services are:
- Individual referrals - we refer applicants to you, including highly
qualified veterans with specialized skills, experience and training.
- Recruiting at our offices - we provide space in our office for you to
interview applicants.
- Recruiting on location - we assist in processing the applicants at a
location you designate.
- Recruiting by appointment - we screen applicants and schedule appointments
for you to interview at your convenience.
- Application or resume review - we forward pre-qualified applications
and/or resumes to you for your review.
- Applicant processing - you can direct all applicants to our office and we
will screen and refer the best-qualified candidate when you have an opening.
- Testing - professionally developed and validated tests including typing,
shorthand, and aptitude batteries.
- Targeted Jobs Tax Credit - Employment Service will determine applicant
eligibility for employers who wish to take advantage of elective tax credits
available under Federal Revenue Act of 1978
- A complete Employment Service is as close as your telephone. The employer
makes the final selection of qualified applicants referred.
