Once job seekers have applied for work, they can use a mobile app to find and accept jobs.

Who:

PeopleReady President Sean Ebner is in Houston and is available to discuss the jobs that need to be filled and how businesses can partner with PeopleReady to get the workers they need. Ebner can provide context on this recovery operation compared with others the company has aided including Hurricane Katrina and Super Storm Sandy.

Background: The company expects to put more than 2,000 people to work toward the area’s recovery. In addition to rebuilding the community, these jobs are a valuable option for residents who have been displaced from their work due to the storm and floods. The work will mostly involve removal of debris and damaged materials, as well as construction activity during rebuilding. Businesses can also contact PeopleReady for assistance in restoring and reopening their facilities.
