xChange helps with job recruitment.
We are creating more equitable and more numerous employment opportunities by connecting employers to our wide network of partner organizations to recruit diverse job seekers and candidates on the East Side of St. Paul.
Working with employers to create more equitable employment opportunities.
The xChange is here not only to support you in recruiting new talent to your company, but also to ensure you and your talent have the support you both need to develop a strong working relationship with one another.
Talking Circles: Employment on the East Side
Between November 2017 and April 2018, the East Side Employment xChange held Talking Circles and interviews with over 60 East Side residents about how employment does, or does not, support them and the things they value most. From the multitude of experiences that were shared, here are interrelated themes that shape many East Siders’ experiences with work.
Ways We Partner with You
Talent Recruitment
We will share your job posting or recruitment event with our collaborative partners to share with their job seekers.
Hiring Events
If you have a number of open positions you’re looking to fill, we can help you co-host a successful hiring event specific to your company. We’ll plan, promote, and provide on-site support during your event.
Employee Retention Strategies
If you are experiencing turnover, we can support you in identifying the problems and together, pursue equitable employee retention strategies.
New Employee Support
We will address the needs of new employees by connecting individuals to services provided by our collaborative partners (like financial coaching and job trainings).
“Partnering with the xChange has assisted us in obtaining essential insight into the needs and barriers job seekers in the East Side community face. Diversity and inclusion are core values at Mississippi Market. We are thankful to be working alongside of them as we continue to support and develop a diverse, dedicated and engaged staff.”
