Business SERVICES
Rappahannock Goodwill offers FREE employment services for businesses of all sizes. We can help you find your next great employee.
Here are some of the services we offer:
Resume Screening
Resume screening is the process of determining whether a candidate is qualified for a role based his or her education, experience, and other information captured on their resume. Send us the qualifications you are looking for and we will send you qualified applicants.
Job Fairs & Hiring Events
Job Fairs, virtual and in-person, bring together multiple businesses in one place to recruit for open positions. Hiring Events feature one business during which on the spot interviews are likely to occur.
On-The-Job-Training
OJT is training in the public or private sector that is given to a paid employee while he or she is engaged in productive work and that provides knowledge and skills essential to the full and adequate performance on the job. OJT funds provide reimbursements to businesses of up to 50 percent of the wage rate of OJT participants to help defray the personnel training costs of new employees.1
Job Listings
Send us your job openings. We help nearly 500 job seekers each month at Goodwill and Virginia Career Works Centers.
Promote Job Openings
When we are given specific details about a job opening we promote the job to identified job seekers who are the best fit for the job.
Openings for Special Groups
Many businesses plan to increase their diversity and inclusion efforts when it comes to hiring – people with disabilities, veterans, returning citizens. Goodwill has the capacity to make direct connections between hiring professionals and the diverse populations employers are seeking.
