Athens Achieves Job Portal
AthensAchieves.com is your connection to local talent. We’ve built this job portal to be as easy to use for employers as it is for job seekers. With the help of our Navigators, you can list and promote jobs, review applications, and hire qualified employees for your open positions. Watch this video to see some of the key elements of this job portal and keep reading to get more details.
List Jobs for Free
Employers hiring in the Athens-Clarke County area can use AthensAchieves.com to list as many jobs as they would like for free. The Athens Achieves Navigators, employed by the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce, will approve your account and can even help you get your jobs live on the site.

Create a Company Profile
Once you’re logged into AthensAchieves.com, you can customize how your company appears to job seekers. Add a logo, a video, a description, and a link so that interested candidates can learn more about your company.
Easily Add Your Jobs
Use a simple form to add jobs to AthensAchieves.com. This form includes fields that will let you accurately and comprehensively list job details. If you have a large volume of jobs you would like to add to the portal, ask our Navigators about bulk job uploads.
Get Notified When Someone Applies
When a candidate applies for one of your jobs, you will get an email notification inviting you to review the application. On AthensAchieves.com, candidates apply using a “Professional Profile” instead of traditional resumes. This streamlines the process for applicants and makes reviewing applications easier for employers.
Review Applications
All applications for your jobs are listed on one page and you can quickly review each applicant’s professional profile in minutes. If your hiring process requires a resume or cover letter, or even a unique application on your company’s career portal, that can be noted in the customized instructions you send to prospective applicants.
Mark Applicants Declined or Prospective
When reviewing applications, you can mark them “declined” or “prospective.” Marking an application declined lets the candidate know they did not get advanced in the hiring process, allowing them to focus their efforts on other career opportunities. Marking an application prospective invites the candidate to take the next steps in the hiring process.
Automatically Notify Declined Applicants
In just a few clicks, you can mark an application as declined, with the option to send a reason why. This information helps the candidate understand why they were declined and what they may need to improve upon. And as an aggregated data set, this information is helpful to the entire Athens Achieves initiative and the community as a whole, as it can help us determine where resources should be focused in order to improve the overall quality of the local workforce.
Send Prospective Applicants Customized Instructions
If an applicant looks like they may be a good fit for your job, you can mark them as prospective. This will send customized instructions to the applicant, explaining what they should do or expect next. The default message you send to applicants can be customized to fit your needs, and you can further customize the message for individual applicants if desired.
Partner with Navigators to Promote Your Jobs
Our Navigators don’t just help you create your account. They can also promote your jobs. One aspect of this is social media posting. Athens Achieves will frequently feature live job listings and participating employers across our social media channels. The Navigators can also promote your jobs to specific candidates that may fit the position requirements through a built-in job recommendation system. Navigators are your way of connecting with candidates and can act as recruiters for your company at no cost.
