"With Utah Job Match, employment seekers can maximize their job search efforts through technology," said Walker. "This new innovation demonstrates the state's commitment to working smarter, a key initiative in the Walker Work Plan. Utah Job Match officially makes job hunting in our state a 21st-century process."
The Utah Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) developed the system in an effort to more effectively serve the public's needs.
"This new system will allow applicants the ability to apply for state jobs at any time," said Kim Christensen, DHRM executive director. "It will also allow the public a more effective method of tracking their applications as they flow through the recruitment process. The state is always seeking better ways to help our government attract quality employees."
Chief Information Officer Val Oveson welcomed the launch of the system.
