YORKTON – The Painted Hand Casino paired with the Yorkton Tribal Council for a career fair on Jan. 12 at the PHC Event Centre.
The day long event had several vendors looking to recruit new employees.
"We paired with YTC and Painted Hand to do a recruitment fair because we're both a First Nation organization and because YTC is our Tribal Council — and officially owns part of this land — we decided to pair with them to have this recruitment fair because we're both looking for qualified employees," said Jennifer Fullerton, Administration Manager at the Painted Hand Casino.
"We've probably had about 25 people walk through — and it is in the first hour — we've had a few but they know we're here until 4:00 p.m. And all the booths will stay up until 4:00 p.m," added Fullerton.
"We are looking for more staff — we're always looking for more staff — at Painted Hand we have a process, but we're bypassing that process – we'll catch the process up after," said Fullerton, noting managers were looking at resumes on the spot and candidates could be hired the same day.
