Any business owner or manager knows how challenging it can be to find, hire, and retain a talented and skilled workforce that can grow with your company. The hiring and training process requires significant time, energy, and knowledge that can compete with running daily operations.
The Fairfax County Business Services Team is here to help. Intimately familiar with the County’s workforce, the evolving needs of top businesses and employers, and how to find and hire top talent, Business Services offers a range of resources to support your success.
Aiming for Day One: Finding Your New Hire
Making a good hire depends on the pool of candidates interested in your job opportunities. Business Services helps match talent with opportunities, streamlining the recruitment process. Our team assesses candidates for their transferable skills, personal attributes, and career goals to determine who is a good fit for your business needs.
Whether you’re hiring for one position or dozens across multiple career levels, Business Services will work with you to be successful in your search:
- Host a Job Fair: Business Services will partner with you to host a job fair to hire for your specific needs and positions. This is a great option if you need to hire for multiple skill levels, locations, and roles.
- Work Based Learning Opportunity: Business Services matches a job seeker and funds a real-life work experience at your business. You benefit from their work and it’s no cost to you!
- Our Talent Pipeline: If you don’t know the best option for your hiring needs, Business Services will strategize with you to hire from our diverse talent pool. We have job seekers in a wide array of industries and career levels who can’t wait to work for you.
Business Services also offers hiring incentive programs that meet two goals with one solution: your business saves money and job seekers in our community earn money working for you.
When it comes to hiring for your company, Business Services is a firm believer in “work smarter, not harder.” We will leverage our networks and resources across the northern Virginia region to help you build a skilled team.
