Melville, NY January 17, 2008 - Having trouble relocating potential employees to Long Island? Opus Scientific and Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty are working together to promote Long Island to out of state employee candidates and transferees as a great place to live and work.
Long Island companies have consistently expressed the challenges involved with successfully hiring and relocating out of state job candidates to the region. Reasons range from cost of living, taxes, and other misconceptions regarding life on Long Island. Local companies, especially within the Scientific, Engineering and Technical industries, are having an increasingly difficult time finding the skilled talent necessary to grow their organizations and must look out of state to fill their needs.
Opus Scientific, a Long Island-based specialty staffing firm, has partnered with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty’s Long Island Relocation Center to assist out of state employee candidates and transferees successfully relocate to the region. Ken Gelfand, Managing Director of Opus Scientific says, “We regularly recruit out of state job seekers for hard to fill scientific and technical positions. Our challenge has always been convincing the candidate that Long Island is a great place to live, where one can build a career and maintain a comfortable lifestyle. Our partnership with Daniel Gale helps overcome the typical relocation road blocks and improves our clients’ ability to successfully hire and relocate out of state employees.”
Daniel Gale’s relocation services are free to job candidates and transferees and include a dedicated relocation consultant, cost-of-living comparisons, school district report cards and various financial and home services. Local HR departments will benefit from this resource designed to assist the out of state job candidate and transferee with the difficult task of evaluating housing options, school districts, commuting times, neighborhoods as well as understanding the overall geography of Long Island. “Having good, pertinent information helps a potential transferee make a decision to accept a job in a new area. Long Island has a lot to offer in the way of career opportunities and lifestyle. Once a decision to relocate has been made, having assistance with the details of the move makes for a smooth transition” states Marie Montchal, Senior Vice President of Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty Relocation.
