employment related The Job Bank provides a single point of contact for employers who have job listings they wish to post. It also offers several convenient methods for that contact:
Experienced and professional staff will enter your job opening specifications, including requirements and qualifications, into an automated computer system that will make your job posting available immediately to all of our locations. The job posting is also made available statewide through our Internet site on Kentucky’s Job Bank and nationally on America’s Job Bank. This ensures that your job openings receive maximum exposure to job seekers locally, statewide and nationally. In addition jobs listed with the Job Bank are advertised through our media resources. When you list your job
opening with the Department for Employment Services Job Bank, you are
making your position available through the largest and most widely
recognized labor exchange systems available to job seekers and
employers today! The Department for Employment Services (DES) has the largest and most diverse computer-based applicant pool in the area. Annually, there are over 300,000 Job and Service Seekers statewide who register with DES. They are individuals who possess a variety of work experiences, skills, and educational backgrounds. From high school graduates to PhD's; unskilled laborers to highly skilled, professional, managerial and technical. These are individuals who are employed but are seeking a career change, those that are under-employed, those who wish to relocate and the unemployed who have lost their jobs due to downsizing and the effects of supply and demand. Locally, the DES offices serving Henderson, Union and Webster Counties provide services to approximately 10,000 to 15,000 Job and Service Seekers annually. An employer who has job openings listed with our agency will be able to take advantage of this large applicant resource. In today’s tight labor
market it only makes good business sense to access every available
resource. Why wait, contact us today at 270-826-2746 or on-line

All employers who have contracts (or subcontracts) with the Federal Government of $25,000 or more are required by federal law to list their job openings with the state employment agency in the state where the job openings exist. These employers are required to use affirmative action in hiring certain veterans to fill those job openings and must file an annual report with Veterans Employment and Training Services (VETS) showing the number of Vietnam-era and special disabled veterans on their work force. If you are an employer with a federal contract, the Kentucky Department for Employment Services (DES) will assist you with meeting your recruitment requirements of the Federal Contractor Job Listing. Because DES is responsible for administering the Veteran’s Employment and Training Program, veterans automatically receive priority in referral on all job openings. As an employer you will greatly benefit from hiring hard working, disciplined, job-ready veterans who bring valuable skills and experience in the latest technology to industries and businesses like yours each day. You may list your openings on-line or call the Job Bank at 270-826-2746 to post job openings for Henderson and the surrounding counties. Want to save time and money?
