The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) has launched EmployOklahoma.gov as the state’s new job-matching platform.

According to a news release, the new system is set to provide an enhanced user experience, ensuring a seamless transition for all Oklahomans seeking employment, employees or workforce services. It will also feature more robust tools to help job seekers and employers find better matches.

EmployOklahoma.gov connects employers with skilled talent. Job seekers can create resumes, manage searches, and receive job matches.

Job seekers can opt to receive job matches through a dashboard linked to their account.

Registration on the former OKJobMatch system has been a mandatory requirement for filing an unemployment claim and will continue to be the case for EmployOklahoma.gov.

What should Oklahomans do?

• You may still file unemployment claims.

• Now that the new system is available, you will be required to complete your work registration within seven days. If you fail to complete your work registration within this time period, this will lead to a denial of your unemployment benefits.

• The new system will not affect the reporting or payment of existing unemployment insurance benefits.

• Reach out to one of the 27 Oklahoma Works American Job Centers if you have immediate questions. If you have questions regarding your unemployment insurance claim, please contact the UI Service Center at 405-5251500.

OESC says it will continue to be available during this transition process to help job seekers and employers explore the new system.
