Powered by the National Labor Exchange (NLx), the site houses jobs from vetted employers in all industries and provides an opportunity for Americans to return to work and gain meaningful employment.
"This new tool will help states quickly connect workers to employers with urgent job openings," said Scott B. Sanders, NASWA Executive Director. "The Need a Job Now site will provide new opportunities for our workforce during these unprecedented times and we are proud to partner in this NLx initiative."
NeedAJobNow.usNLx.com contains over 400,000 job openings and continues to grow daily. While many employers are downsizing their staff, others are significantly increasing their hiring efforts due to current demands. Through this initiative, DirectEmployers and NASWA will assist in bridging the gap between job supply and demand by offering an easy way for job seekers to gain access to current open positions and for employers to fill positions quickly and efficiently during these difficult times.
"The National Labor Exchange's mission is to provide a cost-effective national employment system that improves labor market efficiency. We are working together to align and leverage the assets and power of major U.S. corporations and all workforce partners to minimize the economic impact on dislocated workers due to COVID-19," said Candee Chambers, DirectEmployers Association's Executive Director.
As part of the NLx, this resource is offered at no cost to job seekers or employers. All jobs found on NeedAJobNow.usNLx.com will be refreshed daily with current job content from employers across the country. Employers wishing to have their jobs included within the site can visit NeedAJobNow.usNLx.com/post for more information.
