EMPLOYERS 

UPS is the the world's largest package delivery company and one of the leading global providers of specialized transportation and logistics services. And at this time of year, UPS employees are as busy as Santa's elves. During the holiday season -- with only 21 days shipping days between Thanksgiving 

and Christmas -- UPS expects to deliver more than 500 million packages worldwide. To gear up for the rush, the company hired 55,000 seasonal employees, including 100 seasonal drivers in Ocala/Marion County.      

UPS has partnered with Workforce Connection since 1997, and for the past five years, Robert Bailey, UPS human resources supervisor, has turned to Workforce Connection to meet the company's peak season hiring needs (October through December). 

Bailey said that Workforce Connection really delivers.

"Workforce Connection has proved invaluable during this time of the year by providing resources, assisting in recruiting efforts such as making phone calls to potential candidates and working to assist me during the interviews I conduct at the location," Bailey said. "Workforce's help and assistance during this hiring period has been outstanding. (They) have truly proved to be a valuable business partner during our extremely busy hiring season."

Employer services are offered at no charge.

Bailey said he recruits in several locations throughout the central part of Florida and "without a doubt, Workforce Connection and its staff are the best that I partner with."
