Preferred Employers

The Preferred Employer List provides functionality for job seekers to indicate their preference to work for a specific employer. The design is to allow indication of the preference and is used for those circumstances when an employer uses the workforce center to fill positions. The list of preferred employers displays on the client's Case Details page, and the list of job seekers who have indicated the employer as a preferred employer displays on the Employer Details page. When the workforce center received a job order from the employer, staff can access the list of job seekers who have indicated preference to work for the employer. Staff can sort this list by veteran status to provide veterans with priority status.
