The West Virginia economy is growing thanks to investments in the healthcare, technology and tourism industries.
According to the IBISWorld State Economic Profile, the Gross State Product grew 1.7% from 2019-24, even as the population shrank during the same period. However, the economy is still vulnerable to a wide range of stressors.
Job matching — the practice of finding job candidates whose skills and experience closely align with the responsibilities and requirements of the position — can have a protective effect on the economy by reducing turnover, increasing productivity and performance and encouraging career growth.
Hired LLC, located in the Ward Building in downtown Morgantown specializes in finding the perfect match between jobs and candidates.
“We’re not just filling jobs,” said Tucker Lawson, one of the founders. “We’re helping build careers.”
By bridging the gap between job seekers and employers, the agency plays a crucial part in supporting the local economy.
Hired LLC meets with candidates face-to-face to become familiar with their career needs and goals, ensuring a good fit.

The agency recruits candidates through partnerships with local universities, colleges and trade schools. It also uses business events and other networking opportunities to form a robust roster of candidates.
