Tips and Trends for Employers

  • Multimedia marketing

    We'll be happy to get out the word about your job fair or other business event on our jobs.mo.gov Upcoming Events Calendar, or if you want, our Twitter and Facebook pages!
  • Understand your competition in the labor market

    Using Missouri Economic Research and Information Center, Bureau of Labor Statistics and other data sources, jobs.mo.gov displays current employment levels, typical wage and yearly openings of various occupations.
  • More than savings with hiring costs

    Your Business Representative can connect you with financial incentives like the Work Opportunity Tax Credit or Department of Economic Development incentive programs for qualifying expansions or relocations.
  • Quickly identify the most skilled applicants

    Jobs.mo.gov lets you request the National Career Readiness Certificate as a criteria in your job listing. Then when you match qualified applicants, jobs.mo.gov shows NCRC status—all four levels—with each one.
  • Veteran-friendly employer?

    If so, here's two neat features of jobs.mo.gov: 1) Veterans status is listed with the applicants' match results, so you can conveniently consider this among other qualifications; and 2) jobs.mo.gov is affiliated with the Show-Me Heroes program that highlights vet-friendly employers--as well as those which have received the Flag of Freedom award for hiring vets.
  • Not getting the candidates you want?

    Make sure you've completed the jobs.mo.gov registration and job posting fields. On the other hand, if you do not have any job seekers matching on your job posting, you may need to modify it, i.e., take out some of the required skills. You can adjust your job posting to get it just right!
