Hiring? Looking for work? Take advantage of the Chamber’s Job Board!

By Jess Ptacek, Program & Events Coordinator, Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce

The Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce recently launched a new online Job Board. This board acts as a hub for local job openings. With quick apply, location, industry and employment type searches, job alerts, resume upload and more, it has several great features that make it a desirable option for both job seekers and employers. Read on to learn more…

Employers:

• Chamber members may post jobs for free; non-members pay a fee to post.
• Post open positions including job description, salary range, and attach documents with additional information.
• All posted jobs are immediately shared to the Chamber’s social media pages.
• Upgrade to a featured listing to really boost a post. Featured listings are pinned to the top of the board, highlighted and submitted to the Google Jobs Network. Chamber members receive a discounted upgrade price for featured listings.
• Enable ‘quick apply’ to view all applicants in one place, get notified when someone applies, and easily approve or reject candidates with the click of a button.
• Select the number of days the job should be posted (30, 60 or 90). After the selected number of days, the post will automatically deactivate.
• Easily renew, upgrade, or edit the job post by signing in and clicking on ‘manage posts’.
• Review applicants and number of views from the ‘manage posts’ section.
• Newsletters are sent every 2-4 weeks highlighting newly posted jobs.

​Job Seekers:

• View available jobs and the information provided by employers right from the home page.
• Create an account to easily view jobs and utilize the ‘quick apply’ option, which allows easy flow from one open position to another and fast applying.
• Post a resume to the ‘Resume Bank’ for employers to view as they seek candidates for open positions.
• Sign up for job alerts using your email address to receive emails when a new job is posted.
