Virtual County Application
Demonstration
(Santa Ana) - The County
of Orange is taking its first steps into e-recruiting
for new employees. And tomorrow morning, Supervisor Todd
Spitzer will demonstrate the County's new virtual job
application with Santiago Canyon College students at 11
a.m., February 9 at Santiago Canyon College, Room U118.
SCC President Mark Rocha will participate in the hands-on
demo.
"It's fast and efficient," said Spitzer.
"The virtual job application provides an easier,
more time-efficient way to apply for County jobs and gives
us the potential for ongoing, nationwide recruitment for
all jobs via the Internet."
The demonstration will feature a detailed look at the
application and virtual recruitment techniques. Technology
and human resources experts will be available for Q &
A.
The virtual job application is the County's first major
step toward e-recruitment in the job market. According
to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (http://stats.bls.gov/),
90 percent of job seekers are employed; 80 percent of
them have access to the Internet. The virtual job application
will make it easier for the County to reach those job
seekers.
