This really is a great place to live, work and give back!At Pro Search, we’re very proud of where we live and work and we are dedicated to supporting our community. As Maine’s largest and most respected recruiting and staffing firm, we also know we have a responsibility to give back. Since 1994, each Pro Search employee has been encouraged to take time for volunteer activities and to support our community. We also serve on boards and committees of organizations when we feel we can provide value through our direct involvement.
We are very aware that our ability to give back to our community is only possible through the hard work of our temporary and contract employees AND our partnership with our many loyal clients. With this in mind, in 2008 we created the Pro Search Client Give Back Program, donating 5 cents for every hour our temporary and contract employees work to community organizations in Southern Maine. Each quarter, we make that donation on behalf of our client companies. It’s just one more way we support our community! In 2008, we contributed over $10,000 to Maine based charities and non-profits. In 2009, we are on track to support these causes with an even greater contribution. Most recently, we wrote a check for almost $2700 to Easter Seals of Maine. To learn more, or if you are a Maine based non-profit that would like to be considered for this program, please contact Ed McKersie at emckersie@psicareers.com or at 207-775-7600.
