Express Employment Professionals London Hosts Pay It Forward Hiring Drive to Find Jobs for Unemployed People During the Holidays

LONDON, ONTARIO - November 9, 2015 The Express Employment Professionals office in London will host a Pay it Forward Hiring Drive to put 30 unemployed individuals to work this holiday season. The goal of this drive is to help give encouragement and purpose to as many job seekers as possible by providing them the opportunity to earn a week’s worth of pay and help provide for their families during the holidays.  

By joining Express in this hiring effort, employers will gain a qualified worker and give the gift of employment to an individual who would otherwise not work during the week of December 7^th-13^th. Express associates are screened and evaluated before being placed in short- and long-term assignments in a variety of administrative, professional and commercial positions.

“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 Franchisee Sharon Mercer, owner of the London Express office. “Our vision is to lock arms with businesses in London to bring hope to local families for the holidays.”

This program will provide businesses with the additional support often needed during a busy time of the year while helping someone provide for their family.

Companies and individuals interested in participating in the Pay it Forward Hiring Drive can call the London office at 1 (519) 672-7620 for more information.
