Gathering Data to Track Employer Metrics (Youth Job Center)

  • As a general rule, YJC ensures that team members interact with no more than two data systems. Salesforce is the universal hub for data. The platform has been customized to store available jobs, referrals, and placements. WIOA-focused team members use Career Connect as their secondary system, while other team members use an internal financial tracker for reporting financial outcomes. 
  • YJC is connected to auxiliary job boards that allow the organization to track where an applicant is in the recruitment process. From there, team members share that information with employers during the monthly (or periodic) discussions.
  • RiseKit is another platform that YJC utilizes. RiseKit is a third-party system that leverages AI to review resumes and suggest roles based on a client’s profile. Once a client applies, the platform connects the client, YJC, and the employer in a single communication thread to facilitate the relationship. YJC also captures these connections in its Salesforce database.  
  • YJC uses LinkedIn as a primary way to engage with employers, recognizing that this is a major hub of activity and engagement for employers.   
  • Data is aggregated and presented in key documents like the Strategic Plan or Annual Report, which are distributed to employers and are available for all. 
  • Periodically, the organization conducts employer and client surveys, sharing the results through flyers or additional promotional materials with employer partners to demonstrate the impact of the collaboration.
