HOW IS THE JOBCRAWLER DIFFERENT FROM MO CAREER SOURCE? MO Career Source acts as a job matching tool. Job seekers who match employer criteria will find potential job matches. WHAT IS THE MISSOURI JOB CRAWLER? The Missouri JobCrawler site is a powerful online employment search tool designed specifically for today’s job seekers. A joint collaboration between the Missouri Division of Workforce Development and the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center (MERIC), it provides fast access to job search tools and is designed to be comfortable for everyone, even individuals with little computer experience. The JobCrawler provides the job seeker immediate access to detailed information on thousands of jobs from a variety of online job banks, corporate web sites, regional hospitals, local newspapers and government sites. The spider and job matching technology is currently used successfully by several state agencies and local workforce investment boards across the country. Using “spidering” technology, the Missouri JobCrawler seeks out job postings from many different online sources and allows job seekers to search job postings based on criteria such as: • Keywords • Employers • Salary • Experience • Industry code • Job category • Education WILL I HAVE TO REGISTER IF I ALREADY HAVE A GREATHIRES REGISTRATION? Anyone can access the Missouri JobCrawler without registering. However, to access specific job seeker services and to apply for a position users must register in Missouri JobCrawler. Individuals that have registered with the JobCrawler will still need to register with the MO Career Source system in order to apply for jobs that were originally posted through MO Career Source. The JobCrawler does not perform a true matching of jobseekers to job openings but instead allows job seekers the ability to search for job openings that they feel they are qualified for. HOW IS THE JOBCRAWLER ACCESSED? Any individuals can access the JobCrawler site with an internet connection. You can also find the Missouri JobCrawler from: • The MO Career Source online resource directory (on the “Job Seekers” tab) • The MERIC homepage (www.missourieconomy.org) • The Missouri Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) homepage (www.brac.ded.mo.gov) WHAT JOB CRAWLER TRAINING MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE? An interactive training tutorial is available from the MO Career Source website (www.missouricareersource. com) and the MERIC website (www.missourieconomy.org). It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete the tutorial. It is located under the “Job Seeker” tab under the link for the JobCrawler.
