Employers with job opportunities may register their job openings in a centralized job bank. There are three central order taking phone numbers in the Los Angeles County area. In addition, employers may place orders on the CalJOBS through the Internet. The web site provides job search placement services for jobseekers. People may enter information which creates a professional resume, and places their information into a centralized pool of applicants. To be eligible, an applicant must have a social security number, or have legal right to work in the United States.

Business owners may enter information about specific job openings which remain for two weeks in the database. Employers may also search online for prospective applicants and may elect to have electronic resumes sent to their e-mail address or faxed to their place of business.
