Elwood Staffing plans to host another job fair in Olney

Elwood Staffing recently hosted a job fair in the parking lot at Farmers Insurance on Main Street.

Shirley Pippin, an Elwood Staffing representative, said they have many jobs available for people who are looking for placement in Olney. She said the process is simple. Applicants need to go online to www.elwoodstaffing.com to apply online or visit them in person at 507 Fourth Street in Graham.

Elwood is also looking to work with more companies in Olney to assist them with their hiring needs. Pippin said to call her to set up a meeting to discuss your staffing needs, review job descriptions, and complete paperwork to get the process started.

Job seekers hired as temporary associates with Elwood Staffing will benefit from what they tout as “one of the most comprehensive benefit and incentive programs in our industry.”

The 41-year-old company offers temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct hire job opportunities in various industries such as manufacturing, professional, skilled trades, engineering and technology.

Pippin explained the job placement process. “After applying online, applicants will receive an email confirming their registration, and then, we will reach out to them to discuss the available opportunities based on their skills. After that, we will perform a background check,” Pippin said, emphasizing that applicants should not be deterred by the background verification process as they work with clients that give “second chances” to potential candidates.

For more information about the next job fair, or for applicants interested in applying, call 940-549-6212 or send an email to Graham.TX@elwoodstaffing.com.
