For employers
Hire from down the road.
CherokeeWorks puts your opening in front of people who already live in Cherokee County — and filters the applications before they hit your inbox.
What you get
A local audience, not a global one
Every listing is tagged to a city in the county, so candidates filter to a commute they'll actually make.
Screened applications
Applications go to the administrator first. Empty submissions and spam never reach you.
A draft-writing assist
Type rough notes about the role and get a structured first draft to edit. It won't invent pay or benefits you didn't mention.
Apply here or on your own site
Collect applications through the board, or link straight out to your existing careers page.
Candidate tracking
Mark applicants reviewed, shortlisted or declined from your dashboard, with the resume one click away.
A directory of people who asked to be found
Job seekers can opt in to be listed. Search by trade, town and arrangement, then invite someone to apply for one of your postings.
Listings that expire
Roles come down after 45 days unless you renew, so the board stays honest.
Reaching out first
The candidate directory
Some people are looking before anyone is hiring. If they ask to be listed, you can find them — but finding someone is not the same as being handed their file.
An approved business with a live posting can search the directory by trade, town and the kind of arrangement someone wants. What you see is a first name, a headline, the work they're after and the skills they listed. You do not see a surname, an email address, a phone number or a resume, and there is no way to ask for them: the search deliberately ignores the paragraph people write about themselves, so nobody can be filtered on wording they meant as an introduction.
What you can do is invite one person to apply for one real posting, with a note explaining the role. They read it and decide. If they accept, it becomes an ordinary application — which means the administrator reviews it first, exactly as if they had found the listing themselves, and only then do their details and their resume reach you. If they decline, or simply never answer, nothing is sent and you are told nothing about them.
There is a daily limit on invitations per business, one invitation per person per posting, and a minimum length on the note. The directory is for a considered approach to somebody local, not for a mailshot.
From sign-up to live listing
-
Create an employer account
Name, email, password. Pick "hire someone" when you sign up.
-
Add your business once
Business name, city and a contact address. Reviewed once, then reused on every listing.
-
Write the role
Title, pay, city, description. Use the draft assist if a blank page is the hard part.
-
Wait for the nod
The administrator reviews it and publishes, or sends it back with a note explaining what to change.
