Creating an Employer Account

Creating an employer account grants access to JobLink's full range of resume search options. Build or upload your job postings and take advantage of JobLink's recruitment and labor information services. Creating an employer account is free and allows you to post jobs. Search our database, which holds thousands of resumes, and save resume search profiles for future use as well. This page walks you through the steps to create an employer account. It also explains how to edit or update your account information.

Self-Service vs. Staff-Assisted

JobLink gives you the choice between self-service or staff-assisted job postings. You manage your own job postings and recruitment efforts through self-service. Staff-assisted job postings allow workforce staff at your local American Job Center to manage your jobs.

You can ask for assistance from your local American Job Center at any time. If you begin by creating a self-service account, you can still request help. Job Center staff are trained to assist in multiple ways. They answer hiring and labor market questions, process job orders, and contact job candidates for interview. To find your nearest job center, view the info in the Contact Us area in the footer of any page.

Creating an Employer Account

You can enter the account creation process in several places across the JobLink website:
- On the JobLink home page, in the top navigation menu, select the arrow to the right of Employers, then select Create an Account from the drop-down list.
- In the bar that reads Need an account? Create one now!, select Employers.
- From the Employers landing page, next to the login fields, under Need an account?, select Create one now!
On the Employer Agreement Policy page, carefully read the information and select Accept or Decline. Text on the Employer Agreement Policy varies by state.

Selecting Accept shows you have read, understood, and agree to comply with the Employer Agreement Policy. The Employer Lookup page displays.
Selecting Decline shows you have read and understood the Employer Agreement Policy, but you cannot, or choose not to, comply with it. This ends the account creation process and directs you to the JobLink home page.

Type your company's FEIN and SEIN on the Employer Lookup page.
- SEIN stands for State Employer Identification number. Your state may request an SUIN, which is a State Unemployment Insurance Number, or an EAN, which is an Employer Account Number.
- If no matches are found for the FEIN and SEIN, a confirmation message displays. Select Add a New Employer to go to the Create an Employer Account page.
- If a match is found for the FEIN or SEIN, a validation message displays. You may choose to continue your registration by selecting Continue With Warnings.
  - Do not create multiple accounts for multiple company locations. One employer account can manage job postings for multiple locations through the function.
The Create an Employer Account page displays. Provide, at a minimum, all required fields on this page. Required information is marked throughout. Complete the fields according to the instructions.
Select Create Employer when complete.
