NYC Business Link

Overview

NYC Business Link is a dedicated employment service administered by the NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA). Located at 123 William Street in Lower Manhattan, this program serves as a vital bridge between the city’s business community and qualified job seekers, particularly those participating in social service programs. 💼 For over 25 years, Business Link has provided a dual-service model: helping New Yorkers achieve financial independence through sustainable work and assisting local employers in meeting their hiring needs at no cost.

The center offers a suite of services including customized recruitment, candidate screening, and interview scheduling. One of its most significant features for employers is the administration of the Wage Subsidy Program, which can reimburse businesses for a substantial portion of a new employee’s wages, and assistance with federal tax credits like WOTC. 📉 For job seekers, Business Link provides access to a wide range of opportunities in sectors such as healthcare, security, maintenance, and customer service, along with career counseling and resume workshops. 📝

Visiting and Access

The facility is located on the 6th floor of 123 William Street, easily accessible via the Fulton Street transit hub. 🚇 As a government program office, visitors must undergo security screening in the building’s lobby. Valid government-issued photo identification is required to obtain a visitor pass. While the center primarily works with candidates referred by Job Centers and SNAP centers, it plays a crucial role in the city’s workforce development infrastructure. Employers interested in the program can also schedule consultations to discuss their hiring volume and specific requirements. 🤝
