The Unique “Employer-Friendly” Job-Matching Tool

Career Ticket is ISI’s one-of-a-kind Web-based labor-exchange system designed to work within the one-stop system infrastructure. It provides youth, dislocated workers, adult job seekers, employers and local workforce development staff with efficient and effective technology for the employment search and hiring process.

Based on a low-cost, self-help job service strategy, Career Ticket uses the Web to mediate between job seekers, employers, and employment and training entities. It is designed to provide a very rich experience for the self-service job seeker, while allowing for simple and inexpensive staff intervention.

· For employers, Career Ticket provides a full job-matching service. It gives each employer an account with the ability to post jobs, search and save their own selection of candidates’ resumes. These accounts can be set up for internal use only -- or as a public electronic recruitment center for each employer customer.

· For job seekers, Career Ticket provides access to a wealth of jobs, communications, career information, on-line training and support services. Job seekers have the ability to create up to five resumes to target specific jobs or industries – and then store, fax and e-mail the resumes through Career Ticket from anywhere they have access to the Internet.

· For the WIB and local employment and training program staff, Career Ticket is uniquely customizable through the technology’s capability to turn on and off services on an individual job-seeker basis. Career Ticket provides a Web-based set of client tracking, case management and customer service tools -- along with a suite of built-in reports. Career Ticket will enable workforce development agency management and staff to communicate more effectively internally; share client service information; and generate reports to help meet U.S. Department of Labor’s WIA performance goals, as well as comply with State reporting needs. Career Ticket also includes a powerful client tracking and reporting system that enables workforce development staff to operate as a “proxy” for any job seeker or employer.
