Express Employment launches 'Pay It Forward' holiday hiring campaign

Community Wednesday, November 13, 2013

The Express Employment Professionals office in Miami Lakes will host a “Pay It Forward Hiring Drive” to put 50 unemployed individuals to work this holiday season.

The goal of the drive is to help give encouragement and purpose to as many job seekers as possible by providing them the opportunity to earn at least a week’s worth of pay and help provide for their families during the holidays.

For each new worker put to work during the drive, Express Employment will donate $25 to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals where 100 percent of the funds raised will benefit Miami Children’s Hospital and their nine outpatient centers including Miami Lakes.By joining Express in the hiring effort, employers will gain a qualified worker and give the gift of employment to an individual who would otherwise not work during November or December.

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 use means working with local businesses to help find jobs for unemployed workers in the community so they can earn a paycheck and help support their families this season,” said Michael Huffaker, owner of the Miami Lakes Express office.“Our vision is to lock arms with businesses in our area to bring hope to local families for the holidays,” he added.
