Amarillo Businesses: Register Now for WT Career Expo

Amarillo area hiring managers know all too well that when you post a job, the resumes start flowing in. However, more than half aren't qualified for the position, so you have to weed those out. Then when you finally find a stack of qualified candidates, you call to set up interviews, and either they don't answer or aren't available. Then the five who do set up interviews, three don't show up, and the two you interview are good candidates, but the one you want to fill the position has already taken another job.

Why Traditional Hiring Isn't Working

Does this sound like something you go through on a daily basis trying to find someone to work at your business? What if there was a way to get in front of qualified candidates and give them a chance to interview on the spot? There is. You now have an opportunity to get in front of people eager to get into the workforce who have the knowledge to do the job. West Texas A&M University has a way to help you find the right candidate.
