1Berkshire Releases Seasonal Job Recruitment Utility
1Berkshire is excited to announce that it has formally launched a new seasonal job utility and recruitment tool on its existing jobs thing platform. This new upgrade to the jobs thing, based on hearing concerns from the seasonal employment sector, represents the agility of the platform and provides an enhanced, highly visible opportunity for employers to recruit, identify, and onboard talented staff to fulfill their needs for periods of peak business operations.
Since 2018, the 1Berkshire jobs thing has been a premier regional platform for promoting quality positions, recruiting new members of the workforce into the region, and driving the next wave of talent into the Berkshire ecosystem. With over 1,800 permanent positions under its belt, the jobs thing offers a prime opportunity to further support the business and non-profit ecosystem through this new expansion for seasonal and temporary job recruitment.
Housed within the structure of the existing jobs thing, the new seasonal expansion lets employers and job seekers post and discover some of the incredible options for temporary work in the region. An ideal option for camps, visitor destinations, restaurants, cultural institutions, farms, resorts and more, the platform can help employers reach regional college students, off-contract job seekers, and those looking to contribute to our robust and vibrant seasonal economies, particularly in the summer and winter months.
The jobs thing is the highest-touch jobs platform in the region, with staff at 1Berkshire engaging directly with every post. Bolstered by a unique paid outward digital face that focuses attention to engage job seekers both within and outside the Berkshires, this well established tool now brings a whole new opportunity to find talent into the picture.
Benjamin Lamb, 1Berkshire Vice President of Economic Development notes “We know that our seasonal economy remains a massive driver of our regional ecosystem and talent is so often the pain point to meeting the demands of the thousands of visitors to the region. Our hope is that by unlocking the potential of the jobs thing for seasonal and temporary work, that we can catalyze broadened recruitment, talent acquisition, and the critical staff capacity that so many employers rely on to succeed and thrive.”
The same great jobs thing with its exciting update can be found at thejobsthing.com where employers can post their seasonal and permanent positions, and job seekers can find their next great opportunity here in the Berkshires.
