PITTSFIELD — Representatives of 53 local businesses scanned crowds of job seekers at Berkshire Hills Country Club on Thursday, looking to make eye contact, start a conversation.
More than a few matches were made among these and the roughly 250 candidates who milled about the packed room Thursday.
“We’ll absolutely hire” people met at Thursday’s career fair, said Bill Rech, a General Dynamics fleet documentation and training technology manager.
“We’ve looked at a few very good prospects,” said Spring Williams, an accounts payable employee of Pittsfield Plastics Engineering & Precision Spools.
