Hundreds seek employment at Bryan County Job Palooza

BRYAN COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) – More than 200 people came Wednesday looking for jobs… and a dozen employers, ready to give them… right here in our communities.

“It’s great to have that first experience being able to go face-to-face, shake somebody’s hand, tell them about what you do, find out about what they love to do and see where there’s a good connection,” said Patrick Kisgen, President, C + H Precision.

Patrick Kisgen is the President of C + H Precision, one of the employers at the fair. He says, that one-on-one time with what could be his future employers, is why fairs like these are important.

“We’re always trying to bring in the best and brightest talent and this area is robust with that,” said Kisgen.

The Development Authority of Bryan County was one of the hosts of the event.

According to development authority data, Bryan County’s labor force is expected to increase by more than 4,600 from 2023 to 2028.

Leaders say hiring fairs help employers meet their needs during this rapid growth.

“We really wanted to help our community find access to that growth and seek employment and I think we’ve really hit that mark today,” said Zachary Dykes, Project Manager, Development Authority of Bryan County.

Companies like Hyundai Motor Group Meta Plant America, Hyundai Mobis in Richmond Hill and Norma Precision were there today. And if you weren’t able to make it out to the fair, opportunities can be found here.
