NORTHFIELD, NJ, Sept. 27, 2005 - Gaming companies with special packages for employees displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita are featured on Casino Careers Online (www.casinocareers.com).
“The gaming companies with properties that were destroyed or severely damaged are ‘taking care of their own’ by providing web pages on which they have described where their displaced employees can go to collect paychecks or call for more information,” said Beth Deighan, president of Casino Careers Online and Casino Executive Search.
“Many are offering benefits and salaries for 90 days to 9 months and assisting their employees to find positions in their other properties,” she continued.
Their programs are publicized on a special web page that Casino Careers created on Sept. 2, 2005 and which can be accessed by clicking on a banner at the bottom of their home page, or going directly to: http://www.casinocareers.com/katrina
Gaming Companies such as AC Coin & Slot, Viejas Casino, Fantasy Springs, Soboba, Angel of the Winds, Argosy Casino – Riverside, and Pearl River Resort, have designed special packages for Katrina/Rita victims.
The programs vary by company and offer features that are above and beyond what is usually offered to new hires. They include relocation, sign-on bonus, assistance with the licensing process, and temporary housing after hire. A description of each program is also provided on the Katrina web page on Casino Careers.
Displaced employees or their relatives with electricity and Internet connectivity can access the information and communicate it to their family and friends.
The career opportunities of many other gaming companies actively recruiting on Casino Careers can also be viewed by clicking on “Search Jobs” (http://www.casinocareers.com/jobsearch.cfm).
Employees can apply via email directly to the Employers, or can post a resume once and email it with the click of a button in each job listing.
Over 300 gaming companies publicize their career opportunities on the recruitment web site, which offers a job board and resume database as a free service to job seekers interested in employment in the casino/hospitality & gaming-technology/manufacturing industries.
“The Katrina/Rita web pages will be updated as new information becomes available,” said Deighan. “Our goal is to help displaced employees easily identify career opportunities nationwide and internationally.”
