MAYOR NEWSOM ANNOUNCES NEW ONLINE EMPLOYMENT RESOURCE AND JOBSNOW! SF PARTNERHSIP WITH MACYS.COM.
States News Service March 17, 2010 SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The following information was released by the office of the Mayor of San Francisco:
Mayor Newsom today announced that Macy’s.com will partner with the JOBS NOW! SF program to find qualified candidates to fill 45 job openings in areas related to marketing, technology, and customer service. JOBS NOW! SF is a program created by the City and County of San Francisco which provides Federal stimulus funds to businesses to hire local residents and subsidize 100% of their wages. Working together, the City, local businesses and nonprofits have put 2,110 San Franciscans back to work beginning in May 2009 through September 2010 (when the federal funding expires).
“Macys.com is another great example of how a local company can take advantage of the City’s local economic development programs to grow its operations and recruit talented, local job candidates in these challenging times,” said Mayor Newsom.
Additionally, Mayor Newsom announced that Macy’s.com will be the first employer to utilize HireSF.org to publicize their JOBS NOW! SF positions. HireSF.org is a new initiative of the Workforce Development Division of the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD), to help San Francisco businesses find the most qualified local job seekers to fill their open positions. The site has been designed as a “Virtual One Stop” job matching system, so that employers can easily recruit from among the 46,900 San Francisco residents who are looking for work. web site macys printable coupons
HireSF.org directly connects employers to JOBS NOW! SF -certified candidates, as well as to job seekers graduating from the City’s many job training programs. All San Francisco residents can register and create resumes searchable by employers by going to www.hiresf.org. By using HireSF.org, employers who agree to offer “on the job training” (OJT) to eligible job seekers hired through the One-Stop Career Center system can also access up to $3,000 in salary reimbursement. These “OJT” hires will qualify a business located in San Francisco’s Enterprise Zone for more than $37,000 in tax credits over 5 years. web site macys printable coupons
Employers who want to access job candidates and both the JOBS NOW! SF and OJT stimulus programs should register at www.hiresf.org. They will be contacted directly by a Business Services Representative who can answer all their questions.
The JOBS NOW! SF program is set to expire on September 30 of this year. However, President Obama is supporting an extension of the program for one year, to September 30, 2011 as part of his proposed Fiscal Year 2011 budget. Next week, the House of Representatives will take up a bill that could include an extension for one year of the funds used for JOBS NOW! SF.
“I thank the leadership of Congressman Jim McDermott, as well as our own Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congresswoman Judy Chu, for supporting a federal stimulus program that’s working exactly as it was intended — putting thousands of people back to work in private, public and nonprofit sector jobs now,” said Mayor Newsom.
