Workforce Wizard

WORKFORCE ONE has launched the Workforce Wizard, an inter-active website that provides current and comprehensive local job market information for the Greater Richmond region. This site can provide job seekers with information on the best paying, fastest growing and most in-demand occupations in the region. For businesses, Workforce Wizard is another tool to help make informed decisions by providing labor market data such as benefits and compensation information, employment growth by industry, and short-term hiring trends.

For the Workforce Wizard to be the effective tool that it is designed to be, the data on the regions’ businesses needs to be correct and current. WORKFORCE ONE is encouraging all businesses in the Greater Richmond region to make a concerted effort to review their company information currently reported on the site for accuracy.

Type in the company name and a listing for each location will come into view. Click on the company name to reveal the details listed in the database. If modifications need to be made, you can click on the “Change Request” tab and complete the contact information to have the Workforce Wizard system administrator contact you. If you would prefer to discuss your company’s changes directly, you can contact the system administrator, Jim Smith, by phone at 804-550-7156 or by direct email at jrsitc@aol.com.

If your company is not currently listed on the site, you can add your information by clicking on the “My Listing” under the “My Company” section. Type in your company name and phone number.
