Job seekers can use a new free platform through a partnership with the Crossroads Chamber and United Way Northwest Indiana.

Software powered by Rollie Jobs collects job descriptions from chamber member websites, connecting local candidates with local jobs.

“Businesses are looking for people, and people are looking for opportunities. Connecting the two isn't always easy,” said Deann Patena, executive director of Crossroads Chamber, in a press release. “This platform gives our members another way to get their openings in front of a broader audience without adding another recruitment expense.

“We're bringing opportunities together in one place, making it easier for job seekers to explore what's available while helping our member businesses connect with local talent.”

Companies must be chamber members to participate and can check with the chamber to see if their job descriptions are included.

“For families working hard to make ends meet, access to a better job can open the door to greater financial stability,” said Chris White, president and CEO of United Way Northwest Indiana. “And for employers, finding the right people helps their businesses and our regional economy grow.”

The job board so far includes more than 3,000 open roles. Find job postings here.
