Check Out These 13 NEOhio Companies That Are Hiring

Here's the scoop from the Job Search House Mother on 13 local employers that are ramping up their workforce.

Good news for job seekers - a scan this week of local employer websites reveals numerous companies that have recently posted 10, 20, and even 40 (or more!) jobs in the area. 

From seasonal to full time, from Elyria to Akron, from HR and IT to finance and manufacturing, there’s an increase in postings as employers prepare to hire for the new calendar year.  And remember, even seasonal openings offer a job seeker the opportunity to make a positive impression on an employer, increase one’s networking (and job leads) circle, and earn extra holiday cash.  Here’s the scoop from the Job Search House Mother on 13 local employers that are ramping up their workforce:
