Kelly Seeks to Match Furloughed Federal Workers with Open, Short-Term Positions
25 Gennaio 2019 - 2:00PM
Kelly, a global staffing firm, is launching a toll-free number to
connect furloughed government workers with short-term assignments
in markets heavily populated with federal employees. Beginning
today, workers impacted by the government shutdown will be able to
speak with a Kelly recruiter familiar with relevant, temporary
employment opportunities in their region from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST.
“We have immediate positions available across the country and we
want to make individuals impacted by the government shutdown aware
that these opportunities exist and put them back to work as soon as
possible,” said Debra Thorpe, senior vice president of U.S.
Operations for Kelly Services.
The following 10 markets, with high concentrations of furloughed
workers, have available short-term positions through Kelly:
- Metro-Detroit
- Cleveland
- Memphis
- Tampa
- Orlando
- Denver
- Portland, OR
- Salt Lake City
- Louisville
- Kansas City, MO
Kelly has identified a number of short-term assignments that
could be suitable for qualified furloughed workers. Nationally,
positions range from light industrial and contact centers to
scientific and educational staffing.
Thorpe continued, “At Kelly, we have been putting
people to work for more than 70 years. As such, we have the
experience to help those affected by the current government
shutdown. Interest in flexible career paths, in general, is rising
as professionals want more flexibility and control over their
career paths. It is what’s next in the future of work.”
Furloughed workers can call 1-888-309-5051 from
7 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST and speak with a Kelly recruiter to discuss
potential opportunities.
