Recruitment Company’s Unique Pitch – Apply for a Job and Feed the Hungry in Tampa

The WorkPlace Group, a full-service, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) provider, is
making donations to The Salvation Army in Tampa, FL for every qualified resume it receives for
job openings with one of their Fortune 100 clients.

Recently charged with helping to fill a large number of positions in the Tampa area, the
company wants to stand out in a competitive job market by adding a community-focused
component to their efforts, in addition to the traditional job marketing tactics. Their goal is to give
back to the community while recruiting candidates with an out-of-the-box approach.

To run the campaign, The WorkPlace Group has partnered with YouGiveGoods.com, which
has a platform that hosts online food drives. The company has set up a unique webpage for
this innovative effort www.YouGiveGoods.com/UseYourResumeToFightHunger and anyone
who is interested in applying for one of the available positions can visit the site and submit their
resume. To fuel this drive and to encourage people to apply for the positions available, the
company will make a food donation on behalf of every qualified application it receives.

The Tampa area unemployment rate peaked in February 2010 and the job market has been
improving since. Top Talent now has many job choices as competition among employers for
talent has significantly increased. “To attract top talent we need to stand-out from the crowd.
Use Your Resume to Fight Hunger campaign is one significant way to attract the attention of
Top Talent and give back to the local community,” says Steven Lindner, Executive Partner of
The WorkPlace Group.

The company is looking to fill a number of Customer Contact Sales Associate positions. To
qualify, applicants must have one year of customer service and sales experience within the past
five years, hold a High School diploma or GED and be comfortable navigating through multiple
online systems while speaking to customers.

“We’re thrilled to work with The WorkPlace Group team,” said Patrick O’Neill, CEO of
YouGiveGoods. “We see more and more companies using our website to incorporate giving
back with other objectives they are seeking to achieve.”

“We chose to support The Salvation Army because we believe they are a great organization and
we know that they can use more food to meet their mission of helping the hungry in the greater
Tampa area,” according to Lindner. “We’re looking to donate one ton of food to them from our
drive.”

Lindner continued, “Our Company has a tradition of giving back. By incorporating a charitable
cause into our recruitment strategy, we are inspiring qualified candidates to help the hungry
in their community simply by applying to our Customer Contact Sales Associate openings in
Tampa.”
