Job recommendations will appear based on qualifications and capabilities.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) - Hoosiers seeking a better-paying job can use the state's new Hoosier Talent Network website to match to 1 of more than 135,000 job openings, according to State Rep. Zach Payne (R-Charlestown).

Payne said the Indiana Department of Workforce Development's new online tool located at in.gov/dwd connects individuals searching for work directly to employers in their desired location. Companies that are hiring can also use the website to connect with candidates.

"Hoosiers looking for a job can use this website to search based on their skills, passion and location," Payne said. "This resource is free, easy to use and a good tool for those jumpstarting their careers or exploring new opportunities."   

According to Payne, the platform is powered by artificial intelligence and can understand a job seeker's skills and capabilities to match them to relevant jobs. To get started, Hoosiers create a profile by answering basic questions about themselves, which takes about 5 minutes. Job recommendations will appear based on qualifications and capabilities. Applications can be submitted through the website or company career sites.

Payne encourages local Hoosiers to visit in.gov/dwd to connect to the Hoosier Talent Network, and other education and training resources.
