A staffing service with offices in Grand Junction and Montrose once again plans a hiring drive to put more people to work during the coming holiday season.

Express Employment Professionals has scheduled the Pay It Forward Hiring Drive for Nov. 1 to 14.

“Pay it forward to us means working with local businesses to help find jobs for unemployed workers in our community so they can earn a paycheck and help support their families this season,” said Nina Anderson, owner and chief executive officer of the Express Employment Professionals offices in Grand Junction and Montrose.

“Our vision is to lock arms with businesses in Grand Junction and Montrose to bring hope to local families for the holidays,” Anderson said.

Besides helping people provide for their families, the hiring drive will help businesses find the additional staffing they need for what can be a busy season, she said.

In addition, Express Employment Professionals will make a financial donation to the Food Bank of the Rockies for every employee placed between Nov. 1 and 14.

Businesses can help, Anderson said, by hiring Express employees, provide reference letters those employees can use to obtain other jobs and share information about the hiring drive with other businesses.

Express Employment Professionals can help fill short- and long-term assignments for a variety of office, professional, skilled and light industrial positions, she said. The firm evaluates and screens associates before placements.
