Q&A: How Employers Post Jobs
How much
does it
cost
for associations, employers and
applicants to participate?
No costs;
all services are free.
What do I do first to get started?
What happens
next?
After registering, you’ll receive a call
within two business days from Stacey Cummings with Corporate
America Supports You (CASY), a campaign alliance
nonprofit. Stacey
will answer your questions, review your specific needs and provide
electronic forms for you to use to submit
postings. You can also call
Stacey at 757-262-1295 or email her at s_cummings@CorporateAm-
ericaSupportsYou.org.
Do I fill out
the
posting
forms?
Yes, you can cut and paste from an
existing job description or use the form to compose the posting.
It takes only a few minutes. Then you email
the forms back for staff review.
Why do the
postings need to be
reviewed by CASY-MSCCN?
This
is a quality control step. There is
often different military and civilian terminology for the same or similar
skills and training.
Experienced counselors at CASY and Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN) help translate qualifications and duties to ensure that jobs and candidates are not overlooked because
of jargon.
How does the job actually
get
posted?
When the posting is ready, it will be posted for you on the National
Guard Employment Network online Job
Database and distributed to National Guard employment counselors and nonprofits in the
states. The counselors work directly
with unemployed
National Guard members and will look
for matches between your posting and candidates to email to you.
National Guard members and all
applicants from all other military branches
can access your posting on the CASY-MSCCN
job board.
How do I find out about possible matches?
National Guard employment counselors will contact you by email
or phone so you can review the candidates and contact those
you wish to.
Also, applicants searching the job
board on their own can contact you
directly based on the preferences
you
indicate in your posting.
How is the job posting tracked?
The National
Guard Employment Network (NGEN) and CASY-MSCCN use a world-class secure internet software platform donated by Kenexa, an IBM
company.
This enables NGEN counselors to log
every interaction
and communication with applicants. Every viewing of your posting
by applicants using online access is also tracked. Those looking at your posting through distribution channels
beyond online access cannot be tracked.
How is NGEN and CASY-MSCCN different from military "job boards?"
These integrated teams offer extensive personal help and coaching to both employers and applicants, personalized to individual needs. You can draw upon as much help from experienced staff as you want without charge.
