Through Talent Connection, employers gain access to a pool of qualified candidates who have been thoroughly screened for skills and job readiness, ensuring confidence in every referral. Jerry Harrell, Talent Acquisition Consultant for the State of Indiana, has successfully hired 30 candidates with support from EmployIndy.  

“The Talent Connection team has become a trusted partner. They screen qualified candidates and make referrals for specific roles. I feel comfortable endorsing candidates for the agencies because of the excellent skills and job readiness screening by the EmployIndy team,” said Harrell. 

The partnership goes beyond finding candidates, with EmployIndy providing insight into local workforce trends, early alerts on economic shifts, and support in responding to Marion County’s evolving employment needs. 

“EmployIndy services go beyond job fairs and referrals,” said Harrell. “They monitor the pulse of local economic growth and needs. They are closely tied to what happens in our city and in our county.”
