On Site Employer Day

The Georgetown (DES) sponsors on-site Employer Days at our office. For an employer to participate, the job opening(s) for which they are recruiting are listed with our centralized Job Bank (or call 502-863-2402). DES staff from all our locations will then recruit for potential employees. DES will arrange and schedule interviews and appointments per the employer’s specifications, conduct testing, assist with administering an employer’s test or any of the suite of tests administered by DES. If it is the preference of the employer DES will have applications or resumes collected from interested job seekers for the employer’s review. Office space is made available for the employer to conduct individual interviews or group presentations. Telephone, fax, projector, copiers, and printers are also available for the employers’ use. Additionally the employers job listings will be advertised through the DES media resources. Employers interested in participating may contact us at desscott@mail.state.ky.us to make inquiries and/or arrangements.
