Factors Leading to the Development of the NLx: Private Sector
Three Factors:
•
Increasing Costs and Declining Return on Investment of Commercial
Job Banks
•
Emergence of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS):
•
Reduce costs and promote efficient hiring processes
•
A new front door HR uses to establish a consistent process to prevent
conditions leading to systemic discrimination
•
Need for multi-state employers to find a cost-effective way to achieve
compliance, while leveraging investments in ATS
•
DirectEmployers was established in 2001 by employers as a solution.
Factors Leading to the Development of the NLx: Public Sector
Factors
• Began as a response to the U.S. Department of Labor’s discontinuation of
America’s Job Bank (AJB). AJB was a national job bank maintained by
USDOL, connecting jobseekers with job openings.
• In 2007, NASWA through a formal process endorses DirectEmployers’
service and state agencies begin to sign participation agreements.
• Allows the workforce development system to:
• Offer jobseekers quicker access to more jobs;
• Provide employers valuable recruitment and compliance services;
• Better facilitate priority of service;
• Collect better real-time demand data.
The National Labor Exchange is a unique
public/private partnership that leverages
private (non-profit-owned) technology
and existing state workforce development
agency resources.
How Does It Work?
• The NLx collects openings only from three types of sources:
corporate job sites, state job banks, and USAjobs.gov
This means jobs are unique
• The NLx indexes and refreshes job feeds daily
This means job-links are current
• The NLx staff validates each participating employer
This means there are no scams
How Does It Work?
The Long-Trail of Syndication
Job openings are delivered to state job banks, federal
government sites, non-profit portals, and over 40,000
.JOBS domains.
Applying Directly
Applicants who find a job on US.jobs or through an NLx
API supported site are directed back to the original
employment opportunity, where they can apply directly.
By the Numbers
•
All 50 state workforce agencies states, Guam, DC and
Puerto Rico have signed formal NLx agreements,
exchanging feeds.
•
On average contains over 2.1 mil jobs per day.
•
In 2015, over 12.7 million unique jobs, and over 340,000
employers were included in the network.
The NLx is More than Job Openings
The partnership offers state workforce agencies
other valuable technology services such as
analytics, compliance services,
microsites, indexing, job bank hosting, and
Hilton HHonors Military Program…
and all at no additional cost.
The NLx initiative is under the oversight of a
steering committee comprised of an equal
number of employers and state officials.
