The Department of Labor and Regulation (DLR) is hosting a “Level Up Your Career” statewide virtual hiring event on Wednesday, May 21, from 2-5 p.m. CDT/1-4 p.m. MDT.

This virtual hiring event is designed to allow job seekers to connect online with employers statewide, learn about their companies and open positions, and potentially interview on the same day.

Participating businesses can build brand awareness, find an untapped pool of qualified candidates statewide or from the Dakota Roots/Freedom Works Here program, benefit from real-time interactions with potential employees, and save time and resources finding skilled employees.

Registration is required for both job seekers and businesses. To register, visit https://dlr.sd.gov/localoffices/hiring_events/virtual.aspx, locate the Statewide Virtual Hiring Event, and click the appropriate registration link. While registration remains open until the day of the event, early registration is encouraged to access user guides and resources on the virtual platform ahead of time.

All job fairs and hiring events are offered free of charge to businesses and job seekers. The next 605 Statewide Virtual Hiring Event will be on Wednesday, Aug. 20.
