Job Development

A job development is an employer contact when there are no current job openings in AJL that match the job seeker’s qualifications. When a staff member wants to connect a job seeker with a company but no current job openings match the job seeker's qualifications, job development can be created to instigate contact (typically an interview) between the job seeker and employer.
