The assigned employer team works with the employer to determine the best plan for recruiting and identifying appropriate employees for the jobs.These efforts are led by a member of management working with the appropriate personnel from the local workforce areas.We work with individual employers to develop a plan for them to obtain appropriate employees.The first will be done in conjunction with the SC Restaurant and Lodging Association. We are in the process of implementing virtual job fairs.These include live job fairs, walk through job fairs, and drive through job fairs.We are conducting job fairs across the state as quickly as we can.We have an email address where employers can report their former employees who do not respond to a recall notice for a suitable offer of work: Claimants who refuse a suitable offer to return to their old employment without good cause, will disqualify themselves from benefits. Our recall taskforce works with employers to ensure that recall offers are appropriate and can be enforced.Employers currently seeking additional employees should begin by recalling all employees that have experience in the needed positions.Recall Taskforce: All Laid Off Employees.This program requires employer agreement and cooperation.Claimants who refuse a suitable offer of employment without good cause, will disqualify themselves from benefits.Claimants who do not apply for suitable, available employment as directed by DEW will disqualify themselves from benefits, unless they had good cause for not applying.These employers have available, suitable job openings that match the claimants skills and experiences. All claimants at the meeting are given a list of applicable employers to apply with.Claimants who are registered and do not attend the scheduled meeting will not receive UI benefits until after they complete a make-up session.We hold virtual meetings for claimants to work on resumes, interview skills, etc.Starting April 18th, we rolled out a new enhanced referral program.We will work with any interested employers in providing potential recruits.We have sent over 4.6 million direct email messages.After matching, we send emails to the applicable claimants in the geographical area with the right skill set.We match company posted job requirements with unemployment claimant experience.Every Monday, we conduct weekly job matching with our claimant database.

Employers are encouraged to post their open jobs on SCWOS.

Extensive communications to notify claimants have been ongoing and will continue.Absent good cause, a claimant is not eligible to receive UI benefits if they do not conduct the work searches for that week.Claimants are required to perform two online job searches per week through SC Works Online Services (SCWOS) in order to receive Ul benefits.
