Post a Job on Minnesota's State Labor Exchange

Connect with candidates using Post-a-Job

A state labor exchange is a website that allows employers to post jobs that can be searched for by job seekers within a state. If you want to cast a wide talent recruitment net and reach great candidates, posting your open positions on Minnesota's state labor exchange via the Post-a-Job platform is a powerful place to start.

Jobs posted on the Post-a-Job platform will be searchable on CareerForce.MN.gov, USNLx.com and associated sites, other state and federal job sites, veteran- and disability-focused job sites, and LinkedIn Jobs.

Some employers are required to post open positions on a state labor exchange due to state or federal government regulations. Employers can meet that requirement in Minnesota using either of the two methods below.

Two ways to post your open jobs for free:

Option 1: Register on Post-a-Job and manually post your jobs
