MDHEWD Launches Statewide Platform to Modernize Job Matching and Talent Development
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development (MDHEWD) today announced the launch of HireMO, a modern, user-friendly platform designed to help Missourians connect their individual strengths to career opportunities across the state. The platform also gives employers a faster way to find qualified talent.
Available at no cost, HireMO offers a personalized, guided job-matching experience. The platform connects job seekers with opportunities that align with their skills, interests and goals while giving employers effective tools to reach suitable candidates more quickly.
“HireMO offers a streamlined employer experience, improved access to job seekers and a modern marketplace that supports both hiring and workforce needs,” said Dr. Bennett Boggs, commissioner of MDHEWD. “These enhancements ensure Missouri job seekers and employers have a dependable resource that keeps our workforce moving forward.”
Developed in partnership with St. Louis-based Kiosite, HireMO allows job seekers to highlight their skills, define their career preferences and explore better-matched opportunities. Employers can manage their company profiles, post and maintain job listings, and connect with candidates whose qualifications align with their hiring needs.
“HireMO is designed to make the job search feel more guided, relevant and supportive,” said Michael Novack, founder and CEO of Kiosite. “By reducing noise and improving visibility, the platform also allows employers to spend more time engaging with candidates who are a strong fit for their opportunities and more likely to become their next top performers.”
“We are delighted to work with Kiosite to provide Missourians with a new statewide resource that makes it easier for job seekers to move forward with confidence,” said Julie Carter, director of the Office of Workforce Development. “Instead of sorting through long lists of job postings that may or may not fit a person’s needs, HireMO directs job seekers toward opportunities that align with who they are, the skills they bring and where they want to go.”
Job seekers and employers can create an account at HireMO.mo.gov.
