UNMET Jobs Launches Across Arizona For Job Seekers

Press release from UNMET Jobs:

March 28, 2021

UNMET Jobs, a free, virtual statewide hiring event in partnership with the Arizona Commerce Authority, is now live. The interactive platform features several thousand job opportunities from more than 250 businesses in the region. The goal of this first-time event, which continues through April 15, is to maximize the hiring experience for all attendees by providing a personalized, yet virtual, networking experience for jobseekers and recruiters amid COVID-19.

The platform is inclusive to all levels of experience and features internships, entry level and mid/senior level positions. Among the 250-plus businesses registered with UNMET Jobs and actively seeking talent includes:

Allbound, Inc., Carvana, Dillard’s, eVisit, Forms+Surfaces, GoHealth, Grainger, Honor Health, Leonardo Electronics US, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Marine Corps Recruiting, Paychex, PennyMac, Progressive, Quicken Loans, Residence Inn by Marriott Sedona, Tata Consultancy Services, Tecta America, TopGolf and ZF Group.

UNMET Jobs is powered by Largely©, which is a job matchmaking platform focused on improving the job search experience. Largely humanizes the hiring process by combining the traditional resume with personal videos, highlighting human traits that a resume can never provide: a job seeker’s personality, energy, and uniqueness. For employers, Largely makes it easy to engage with the candidate by showcasing their most valuable asset: Their team. Employers can invite their team to post authentic and simple videos to tell stories about their company culture, values, and more.

“Arizona’s educational institutions are producing the workforce of the future, and we’re proud to partner with UNMET Jobs to highlight our state’s impressive talent pool through this virtual event,” said Sandra Watson, Arizona Commerce Authority President & CEO. “By leveraging technology, we’re able to facilitate a greater number of meaningful connections between Arizona job seekers and job creators.”

How UNMET Jobs works:

• Job seekers will upload video introductions and answer a questionnaire that explores their personal and professional attributes, together acting as a virtual resume.
• Employers are then able to filter from the pool of applicants by selecting various criteria while also being able to browse through recommended lists of applicants.
• Employers may then use the platform to contact job seekers directly and set up virtual interviews and invite them to webinars or info sessions.

The platform also offers advice, tools and insight on developing an online resume, virtual interview hacks and answers to frequently asked questions for both employers and job seekers.

“UNMET Jobs will be an ongoing yearly event that is positioned to help job seekers from across Arizona by providing them access to localized employment opportunities and helping employers statewide find talent locally. The UNMET Jobs’ platform Largely will remain open for job seekers to connect with employers even after the conclusion of the virtual event on April 15,” says Emily Ahrens, chief marketing officer of Unmet Jobs.
