Does it feel impossible to get a remote job while competing with thousands of others, let alone the chance to land an interview? Yeah, we’ve all been there, and it can become so frustrating even though you are qualified for the position. Did you know candidates that are a part of a referring program are hired 55% quicker than through career sites? So, what referral programs are out there that you can join? Look no further! SOAR has partnered with over 99 companies (and counting) and we are ready to find your dream job right here in Eastern Kentucky. Here are the top 5 reasons why SOAR’s Eastern Kentucky Job Board shortens your job search and puts you ahead of the competition. 

1: Receive Direct Referrals to Hiring Managers

Typically with other job boards, you browse for positions you are interested in, submit your application, and hope for the best, right? SOAR’s EKY Job Board is changing the job search game by providing Eastern Kentuckians free referrals to hiring managers and companies. We have partnered with over 99 companies that span across various in-demand industries, such as Information Technology (IT), Healthcare, Customer service, and many more. Skip the line and avoid waiting weeks to hear back from companies and let SOAR network for you. We have a dedicated team reaching out to employers every day, so you don’t have to and focus on what matters: finding your dream job. 

2: Personalized Job Search Assistance

When you walk into a doctor’s office, you are greeted by the receptionist who gives you instructions and paperwork to fill out as you wait to meet with the doctor. Think of SOAR and the Office of Jobs in the same way; as we network with companies, our team is here to assist and identify any questions you may have while you apply and wait to hear back for an interview. We honor reaching out to you 1 on 1 to identify if your resume is up-to-date and provide resources to ensure you are ready before applying to jobs to put your best foot forward. Keep an eye on your email as we directly send you jobs that are relevant to you as they become available, putting you ahead of the competition. 

3: Jobs that Fit your Lifestyle

As an Eastern Kentucky based organization, SOAR understands the struggles and beauty of living where we do. The low cost of living, stunning mountains and natural scenery, tons of outdoor activities and events to attend, and the welcoming southern hospitality and charm that’s a part of our culture. Living in rural areas brings challenges as well, such as long commutes and limited opportunities. Don’t stress, SOAR is bringing opportunities right to your backdoor! Whether it’s remote, hybrid, or in-person positions, we wake up every day to share in-region opportunities so you don’t have to leave our peaceful area we call home. 

4: Simple & Easy-to-Use Job Board

Say no to job boards that are complicated, cluttered, and that populate irrelevant jobs you don’t want to see. Nothing is more frustrating than wanting to apply to a job but having to jump through hurdles and ultimately giving up. The Eastern Kentucky Job Board is straight to the point, no ads, no junk, no problems. And the best part? Our system automatically updates and will take you directly to the hiring company’s website, ultimately avoiding scams and providing you with a direct link to the company. 

The EKY Job Board is divided into two parts: the jobs and companies tab. On the jobs tab, you can browse the most recent jobs posted and set the filters you want to see; no more guessing if the opportunity is right for you. Are you busy and don’t have time to keep checking the job board with new postings? No worries, you can use the “create job alert” feature and save them using the same filters, directly into your email inbox everyday. In the companies tab, you can learn more about our partner companies, such as where they are based, what industries they are a part of, and what openings they have available. Are you interested in a specific company but there aren’t any opportunities that fit your skillset? Similar to the job tabs, you can create job alerts for specific companies as well by putting the filters you want to see in your email inbox. 

5: Tailored Job Alerts – Say no to Spam!

Is your email inbox filled with irrelevant job newsletters that you don’t want to apply for or you don’t meet the qualifications? Yeah, we are immediately unsubscribing. The EKY Job Board alerts and newsletter focuses on relevant remote opportunities and within the 54-county region in Eastern Kentucky. Our team is dedicated to screening, conducting research, and connecting with an actual person at our partner companies, as reports of remote work scams increased by 118% in 2023. Don’t fall victim to fake remote work opportunities, we take the guesswork off your plate so you can find the opportunity that is right for you.
