Virtual Career Center
Geographic Solutions offers a quick, simple way for educational institutions to create a powerful online job search system to provide students and job seekers the ability to view all jobs posted on the Internet in ONE location. The system provides fast access to a complete set of employment tools and nationwide access to full and part-time jobs, internships, temporary jobs, green jobs, and more.
Virtual Career Center is designed to be comfortable for everyone, even the person who has little computer experience - users simply point and click through the online services. Features to help job seekers and students within the system include:
- Assess your job skills
- Review available jobs sourced from thousands of websites
- Set up a Virtual Recruiter search agent to automatically receive job postings via text or email
- Track your job search efforts in a personal profile folder online
- Research regional, state, and national labor market information, including salaries
- Apply for jobs online
The system offers the most comprehensive and high quality job aggregation capability available today. This far exceeds that of any current private or public job board. Job postings are updated nightly from the following sources listed here.
Job Order Sources
- Virtual OneStop® Websites (State and Local)
- National and Local Private Job Boards
- State Job Boards
- Hospitals
- Military Branch Websites
- Federal, State, and Local Government Websites
- Recruiter Websites
- Employer and Corporate Websites
- Nonprofit Websites
- Newspaper Websites
- Green Job Boards
- Volunteer Websites
- Chambers of Commerce Websites
- Industry Associations
All job postings are processed to a default template to display job order details uniformly, regardless of the proprietary format, methodology, technology, or file location used to initially post the job. This creates a consistent display of job order information for the job seeker.
Job order details include employer, job title, job description, worksite location, testing requirements, type of job (full-time, part-time, etc.), job duration, job duties, special software/hardware skills needed, minimum education needed, special driver's license requirements, compensation and hours, benefits, and other information.
In addition, job seekers can view up-to-date, real-time labor market information (LMI) as well as historical LMI. And since the system accurately assigns most aggregated jobs an O*NET-SOC code, students can view job-specific labor market information and key O*NET-SOC data such as abilities, tasks, and interests; as well as detailed profiles of the labor market related to occupations, industries, and geographic areas, which help them make informed decisions about appropriate careers to explore.
For college career centers who work closely with employers, optional employer modules are available. The Employer Module allows employers to post job openings, review labor market information and access current employment/HR resources. Employers can also manage the hiring process with multiple capabilities, such as reviewing candidate resumes, creating and storing candidate searches with the Virtual Recruiter, ranking candidates, and communicating with applicants using the system.
