JobsInRI Debuts New & Improved Hyperlocal Careers Website for Rhode Island’s Workforce

PROVIDENCE, RI – JobsInRI.com, Rhode Island’s first hyperlocal employment board, announced today a strategic deployment of its website designed to give employers and job-seekers the most impactful platform possible for finding new talent and opportunities in the Ocean State. The highly-targeted Rhode Island job-search portal incorporates the best features of major job boards with a look and feel that is custom-tailored for Rhode Island’s workforce and employers.

Unlike many job boards and career websites, JobsInRI only features opportunities posted by Rhode Island-based companies. By taking a hyperlocal approach to connecting job seekers with employers, JobsInRI eliminates the need to filter through job postings and candidates that clutter other job boards. For employers, this mobile-friendly and search engine optimized site streamlines the search process significantly with features like resume alerts that automatically capture candidates fitting criteria of posted jobs.

While JobsInRI maintains a Rhode Island-focused approach to posting and discovering job opportunities, it also provides the broader exposure that larger organizations are looking for in their candidate search. All jobs are automatically sent to its distributed network of top job boards, increasing the job posting’s visibility across the web. Network partners include Indeed, SimplyHired and more. By creating a destination website with powerful distribution capabilities, JobsInRI is creating stronger engagement among both job seekers and employers as they progress through the recruitment and application process.

As an organization, JobsInRI maintains a strong presence in the virtual environment and in the Rhode Island economy. The company has maintained a web presence in Rhode Island since 2004, and supported job fairs at local colleges and universities and area chambers of commerce. JobsInRI offers strategic support for Rhode Island’s human resources community that other job boards can’t match through its involvement with regional trade associations and participation in conferences for HR professionals. Following the success of its hyperlocal platform in Maine, where JobsInME.com is now the top-ranked job board in the state, this latest investment in Rhode Island reflects the changing expectations of workers and the companies that employ them.

“Today’s job seekers are extremely tech-savvy, and expect that their preferred job sites have kept up with the technological advances they’ve seen in their personal and professional lives,” said Joe Anto, CEO of JobsInTheUS. “By providing all of the benefits of a hyperlocal platform with the resources and exposure of a national job board, JobsInRI offers the best of both worlds for Rhode Island’s employers and workers. We’re excited to launch a feature-rich and user-friendly resource that benefits everyone who plays a role in Rhode Island’s economy, and will help them take the next steps to an exciting opportunity or discover a new superstar for their growing business.”
