About the Role

Are you a customer service-oriented individual looking for an opportunity to help others? Join our RESEA team as an Employment Services Specialist and be part of a group that values your expertise, invests in your growth, and gives you the tools to make a real difference in your community.

We're looking for someone organized, efficient in time management, strong verbal and written communication, detail oriented, and genuinely committed to helping others — someone who brings a professional, positive attitude to every interaction.

About RESEA

The Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program is a federally funded initiative that provides intensive reemployment assistance to unemployment insurance (UI) recipients who are likely to exhaust their benefits before finding new work. Through RESEA, job seekers are connected to a wide range of reemployment services — including co-enrollment in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) dislocated worker program and other services as appropriate — with the goal of returning to work as quickly as possible.

RESEA is designed to improve UI recipients' employment outcomes and reduce the average duration of benefit receipt, while also strengthening program integrity by helping detect and prevent improper payments to ineligible individuals. The program serves as a key entry point connecting UI job seekers to the broader workforce system, aligning with WIOA's vision of integrated services and improved employment outcomes, including earnings.

Job Summary

The Employment Services Specialist supports our RESEA program by guiding unemployment claimants through reemployment services and eligibility activities. In this role, you will conduct outreach and appointments with selected claimants, assess their skills and job readiness, help them build a plan to return to work, and connect them with the resources they need to succeed — all while accurately documenting participation in state-mandated systems.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following:

Conduct outreach to and schedule appointments with selected unemployment claimants for in-person and/or virtual RESEA appointments; record attendance and supplemental activities using the appropriate state-mandated system.
Provide follow-up to participants to ensure supplemental activities are completed.
Develop or revise a mutually agreed-upon employability plan with each claimant to access employment and training opportunities and address barriers to successful job search outcomes.
Conduct job seeker assessments to determine personal and work history, and evaluate skills, aptitude, physical limitations, job interests, and readiness for employment.
Provide labor market and career information tailored to each claimant's specific needs.
Utilize OhioMeansJobs.com to help match job seekers with employers based on individual needs and requirements.
Provides guidance/assistance to customers regarding various activities such as registration to OhioMeansJobs.com, creating, posting and/or uploading resumes, as well as completing a career profile assessment in the system.
Assists with data entry of customer information into the organization’s various customer relationship management (CRM) systems.

Education and/or Experience

Minimum high school diploma; Associate's degree preferred.
Minimum one year of customer service experience.
Strong job search skills; experience in job recruiting, job placement, or human resources preferred.
Ability to communicate effectively in verbal, written, and presentation form with both individuals and groups.
Ability to maintain confidentiality with job seekers, employers, partners, and staff.
Ability to exercise independent judgment.
Knowledge of local community resources and services preferred.
Accuracy in data entry skills.
Proficiency with personal computers and relevant software/web applications
Valid Ohio driver's license.
