Page 4 How Referrals Work The Suncoast Workforce representatives you see everyday work with job seekers, and we have other representatives who work with employers. These employers enter jobs directly into EmployFlorida.com. Employers do this under the condition that we pre-screen job seekers before they apply, as they want to make sure we are only sending them the most qualified applicants. This saves the employers time because they aren’t looking through hundreds of unqualified resumes, and it saves you time because you aren’t competing to be noticed against unqualified candidates. Pre-screening means a representative will review your resume with you and compare it to the job requirements listed for the position. You need to be pre-screened for jobs in which: 1. The Job ID Number is 7 digits long and begins with a “9” AND 2. The Employer Name is suppressed To do this, you will need to make sure that all five steps are complete: 1. Be completely registered on EmployFlorida.com 2. Posted to your EmployFlorida.com profile with a complete work history. To access your background, go to the left blue vertical toolbar, click My Individual Profile, then Personal Profile. The Background Tab is the brown tab in the center of the screen. 3. Post your resume on EmployFlorida.com with no spelling or format errors 4. Meet with a Suncoast Workforce representative to be deemed “work ready” to receive job referrals 5. Reflect that you possess the requirements / qualifications for the posted job If you have completed all five of these steps, and you find a job for which you are qualified for on EmployFlorida.com, write down the job ID Number(s) and stop by our Career Center - no appointment is needed! We can review three jobs for you per day. We are open Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. The longest wait time for referrals is between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. This is the link that you would click to retrieve your password.
