DirectEmployers Association, in partnership with National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA), implemented the Rapid Reemployment Initiative, a service designed to connect downsizing employers with hiring employers to create a system that offers job matching to displaced workers at no cost.

“We are working together to align and leverage the assets of all workforce partners to minimize the impact of displacement on job seekers and reduce unemployment compensation costs.”

Making a Difference

Downsizing Employers can:

• Enter downsizing activities and information for hiring employers
• Enter job title information to prepare automated searches and agents for their affected employees
• Allow hiring employers to see their contact information, or make the information available only to specific employers
• Post or suggest job fairs and other career events for their affected employees

Hiring Employers can:

• Search downsizing activities of other companies by occupation, location, company, industry, skills
• Invite job seekers to apply to your company’s jobs
• Search private displacement-specific resume databases of downsizing companies
• Post jobs and career events (there is an annual $25.00 administration fee for non-members)

Displaced Employees can:

• Search employment opportunities and set up automated search agents
• Post your resume to JobCentral for review by thousands of employers
• Search for and participate in various career events

“Workers have reemployment opportunities even in bad times. Despite the current recession, there are about 3 million job openings in the economy. The RRI recommits the National Labor Exchange, the flagship service of our public-private alliance, to helping employers find good workers and helping workers find good jobs faster and more efficiently.”
