Manning Businesses Encouraged To Use Meet-And-Greet Format To Attract Potential Employees

As Manning businesses have found themselves in the same situation as many others in our area, struggling to find employees, they have brainstormed ideas to draw in qualified candidates. The city and Main Street Manning reached out to IowaWORKS for their help with the process, and one tried and tested idea came to the forefront, meet-and-greets with potential employees. The free connection opportunities are already being held in Carroll, Denison and Jefferson, where a few businesses from non-competitive industry sectors are scheduled for each event. The employees and employers will then work through a 15 minute presentation about each business, the positions they have open, benefits and the application process. After that, there will be about five to 10 minutes for a question and answer session. IowaWORKS partners in these efforts by marketing each event, and they are reporting that between 13 and 25 job seekers are attending each of these local events. Manning businesses are being encouraged to schedule sessions and can do so by contacting IowaWORKS by using the information provided below.
