Meet Baggage & Parcel Service
Workforce Challenge
Linda M., owner of Baggage & Parcel Service contacted our office in desperate need of hiring 6 delivery drivers. She had been unsuccessful in finding qualified applicants up to this time. As her business needs were growing she was concerned with being able to grow with the demands of her business.
Workforce Solution
In efforts to assist Baggage & Parcel Service, we enrolled the business in the Maryland Workforce Exchange and scheduled a customized recruitment. In addition to the mass marketing for the recruitment, we prescreened and pre-set interviews for 7 WIA participants to ensure a good flow of candidates meeting the businesses specific needs.
Outcomes & Benefits
With a turnout of 20 applicants attending the customized recruitment, Ms. Miller was extremely pleased with the quality of job seekers and the professionalism and helpfulness of the Waldorf One Stop Staff. Ms. Miller commented “Southern Maryland JobSource was wonderful in assisting me with finding employees. Would recommend SM JobSource! They are a wealth of Knowledge!” Ms. Linda M. is currently completing the background investigation for several candidates interviewed during the customized recruitment and anticipates hiring four individuals from the recruitment.
