The Indiana Department of Workforce Development has launched a job board to help unemployed or underemployed Hoosiers find work, it s called the “Hoosier Talent Network.”
On the surface, the jobs board looks like any other: workers key in their work experience and employers put in job openings. But this system is supposed to use an artificial intelligence algorithm from tech company Eightfold AI to hunt for skills in profiles and match them with skills in job descriptions. It also lets employers create customized hiring campaigns.

INDIANAPOLIS (Inside INdiana Business) – The Indiana Department of Workforce Development is launching the Hoosier Talent Network from Eightfold AI to connect employers with people who are out of work as a result of the pandemic.
Workforce Development says the job-matching and career-planning website is supported by artificial intelligence to help job seekers quickly find employment opportunities in specific locations.
The department says there are currently more than 135,000 open jobs in Indiana.
“This is a state-supported program committed to bringing our people back to work,” Workforce Development Commissioner Fred Payne said. “We are here to support those in need, and the Hoosier Talent Network is another resource the DWD offers to help Hoosiers improve their lives.”
