Dear Regional Employer Partner,
Have you ever had the experience of having the perfect recruit apply for a position with your company only to have the prospective employee decide to reject your offer due to concerns about opportunities both personal and professional for their partner?
Let us help you negotiate that dilemma.
With our extensive knowledge of local businesses, schools and non-profits we will often be able to suggest that place where a partner might find that “perfect fit” based on their skills, experiences and personal goals. We are in contact with regional employers every day and find that middle management and executive level jobs often go unadvertised locally due to the perception that there is no one to fill them. We also find that employers will create a job if presented with someone with a set of skills that can improve their business.
Together we can turn this problem into an opportunity!
For additional information please contact Maggie Gilbert, CDO Workforce at (607) 832-5781 or
Our goal is to help job seekers not just find a job, but develop and manage a career. That means helping them when they have a job and when they are looking.
