GRIFFITH NOW HIRING
Griffith Business Chamber are proud to support the Griffith Now Hiring Campaign.
The Griffith Now Hiring initiative set out to attract people and their families to live and work in Griffith. It aims to draw attention to our progressive regional city and the diversity of skilled job vacancies across many industries. Not only did this campaign draw 5,800 people to the GriffithNowHiring website, a little under 2,000 per month, but 200 people made a direct enquiry seeking more information about moving to Griffith, and one family moved.
All businesses who sign up to Stage 2 of this initiative will have their company featured on the Griffith Now Hiring website as well as receiving regular e-newsletters, website updates, Facebook posts with available jobs, follow-up and mailing of information packs to interested parties, plus targeted social media marketing campaigns driving people to our digital assets.
If your business is interested in becoming a Griffith Now Hiring Stage 2 partner please contact Leanne Austin, Economic Development Officer on (02) 6962 8294 or Leanne.Austin@griffith.nsw.gov.au for more information.
