Business Services Connects Employers With the Right Candidates Business Services Team members can schedule times for recruiters to meet with potential candidates at the Job Center. Denise, Operations Manager from Lakeside Transportation, said she has been very pleased with the outcome of these on-site visits. “Workforce Staff have made our experience working together a success. I encourage more businesses in the Lake County area to look in to this wonderful organization.” “I spoke to a Business Services Team member over the phone then sent in a brief job description. They posted an advertisement on their website, in the Job Center and on their social media networks. I set up the interviews and quickly found our new team member. The entire process was a very positive experience for us.” — Gail, Zion Township To schedule a recruitment event, call 847.543.7400. Page 3
