Jobs in the 605 Statewide Virtual Hiring Event

PIERRE, S.D. – The Department of Labor and Regulation (DLR) is hosting a “Kick-Off Your Career” statewide virtual hiring event on Wednesday, Aug. 20, from 2-5 p.m. CDT / 1-4 p.m. MDT.

This virtual event offers job seekers and businesses from across South Dakota a convenient online platform to connect, share information, and potentially conduct interviews all in one day.

Job seekers will have the opportunity to meet with employers from throughout the state, learn about open positions, and engage directly with company representatives.

For businesses, the event is a unique opportunity to increase brand awareness, connect with a broad and talented candidate pool, including out-of-state participants from the Dakota Roots program, and interact with potential employees in real time. The virtual format streamlines the hiring process, saving both time and resources.

Registration is required for both job seekers and businesses. To register, visit https://dlr.sd.gov/localoffices/hiring_events/virtual.aspx, locate the Statewide Virtual Hiring Event, and click the appropriate registration link. Early registration is encouraged to access user guides and resources on the virtual platform before the event.

All job fairs and hiring events are offered free of charge to businesses and job seekers. The next 605 Statewide Virtual Hiring Event will be on Wednesday, Oct. 15.

For more information, contact Garrett Brunmaier at 605-995-8074.
