Over 50 career seekers filled the Center on July 28,2015 for the Recruiting Event. The well-known company who specializes in all aspects of the farming industry,was looking for 20-25 dedicated potential career seekers for their new store in Mooresville.

In order to meet their employment demands,Boeckmann and his regional manager came to visit Iredell County to look around the area." One day they stopped by the Mooresville-South Iredell Chamber of Commerce and was immediately directed to the NCWorks Career Center-Mooresville as a place to have a potential job fair."

""Over the years that I’ve done this I’ve held job fairs in many different venues,but we seem to get the best response and more applicants comes through when we use a career office where they are resources and have connections both inside and outside the community," Boeckmann said. "I knew this Center would support and help us draw in the candidates that we needed,which made my decision easy as to where to go."

There was a tremendous amount of hard work and effort that went into making the Recruiting Event a huge success." Within the first hour of the event,an immense line filled the lobby area of the NCWorks Career Center-Mooresville." Just a week before,the staff at the NCWorks Career Center-Mooresville worked diligently with Southern States Cooperative,Inc. for an Employer Spotlight event."

"As a result to the success of the Employer Spotlight,the company was excited to continue working with us," said Amie Coffey,Employer Services Consultant for Centralina Workforce Services."

Coffey worked with the employer one-on-one and was the main contact throughout the entire experience. During the process,Coffey made sure things ran seamlessly." In fact,she took care of all the leg work to make sure the facility was made readily available to individuals ready to apply in person at the Recruiting Event.

"I have to give a special thanks to Amie Coffey. She truly exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to see that we had a successful event," Boeckmann said." "If I was to talk to another organization and they want a job fair to be easy and low maintenance for them at a place that will open their doors and give them access to whatever they need for the day,it would be NCWorks.""
