Are You Looking To Enhance Your Career Or Transition Into A New Career?
The Virtual Workforce Assessment Network offers job seekers access to cutting-edge tools that match a person's personality, interests, and values to the requirements of over 800 occupations.
In addition, our state-of-the-art Database Position Linkage System allows organizations to search for potential job applicants that are well-matched for a position they desire to fill. Our system compares a profile of each job seekers' personal attributes to the job requirements and preferences supplied by an organization. Organizations may then invite potential applicants to formally apply for a position. Prior to accepting an invitation to apply for a position, all candidates remain anonymous in our system.
Our system is built upon the Occupation Information Network (O*NET), which is the most extensively researched and comprehensive system of information on jobs in the United States.1
