DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

Struggling to find and keep labor?

As the labor shortage continues, and will not be going away anytime soon, manufacturers need to set themselves apart from the competition.  I’m not talking about other companies who make similar products to yours, but every business down the street, in your city, and in our region.  Everyone is pulling from the same labor pool, and the pool is smaller.  The old way of posting jobs, sifting through a hundred resumes, interviewing a handful, and then taking weeks to make your decision are long gone!
