The Employment Guide® Expands into Columbia, SC

 

Publication Offers Area Employers Greater Access to Job Candidates

 

Norfolk, VA, June 15, 2006 - The Employment Guide® (www.EmploymentGuide.com) today announced  its expansion into Columbia, South Carolina.  The move into this market is in response to low unemployment rates and the challenges this poses for employers in attracting qualified candidates. The first edition will hit the streets on Monday, June 19, 2006. 

The Columbia edition plans to distribute more than 17,000 weekly publications within 200 of The Employment Guide's signature green boxes, as well as 300 additional locations in high traffic areas such as restaurants and supermarkets.

"We are very excited to welcome Columbia to our family of featured Employment Guide cities," said Jeff Littlejohn, Vice President and General Manager of The Employment Guide.  "Our exceptional staff of recruitment advertising specialists look forward to building partnerships with local recruiters to help meet their ongoing hiring needs."

Lyle Stone, General Manager of the Columbia office of The Employment Guide added, "Richland and Lexington counties have some of the lowest unemployment rates in the state.  Employers are finding it more difficult to attract qualified candidates. . The Employment Guide offers both print and Internet (www.EmploymentGuide.com) for an effective, affordable, targeted solution."
