Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. (DPI) has officially partnered with Magnetworks, a word-of-mouth hiring tool, to establish the Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. Community Job Feed: a local hub designed to connect employers with trusted talent through community referrals, making hiring more personal and effective.

 

On the Community Job Feed, job seekers, along with friends and family, can browse open roles, share listings within their networks, and earn rewards when their referrals lead to successful hires. Open to everyone in the community, the feed makes sharing opportunities easy while helping friends and neighbors find meaningful work and strengthening local connections.

 

The Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. Community Job Feed will feature open roles with Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. member businesses and organizations exclusively.

 

“We’re thrilled to bring Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. members a better way to drive word-of-mouth hiring and support their local economy,” says Magnetworks founder, Eric Singer. “Referrals lead to stronger hires, with 92% of people trusting referrals from friends—and through this preferred partnership with DPI, DPI members now have access to affordable, effective tools that make it easier to hire local. Businesses are often already connected to their next hire—we’ve just made it easier to find them.”

 

Posting open roles on the Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. Community Job Feed is open to Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. members who sign on with Magnetworks through an exclusive DPI Member Benefit.

 

“We’ve heard that finding staffing is one of the biggest challenges for our DPI member businesses, and we’ve responded,” says Rebecca Brien, Managing Director of Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. “By partnering with Magnetworks, we can garner the collective power of our Downtown employers to present one Job Feed for the downtown area. By taking advantage of our preferred partnership with Magnetworks, DPI members will help create stability and sustainability for each other through this hiring platform – working as a downtown team to help fill openings within each other’s organizations.”
