Work Opportunity Tax Credit Calculator

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit known as #WOTC is a federal tax credit available to employers who hire individuals from disadvantaged groups of workers that have historically faced barriers to finding employment. Including WOTC Screening with iRecruit can save an employer significant amounts of money.

 

Beefing Up the Content on Your Applicant Portal

Applicants to your jobs have a choice when they apply, they can register, apply without registering, or they can log in to an existing account if they have applied previously. Within their accounts, applicants can, of course, apply, update information, or if you have iConnect, applicants or new hires can fill out additional forms for you.
