EmployAbilities: Blackfoot Telecommunications Group finds a rich resource for access to a valuable work force

When Bill Squires hired Paula Hogan at Blackfoot Telecommunications Group http://www.blackfoot.com/ two years ago, it marked a new frontier for both of them.

Instead of the want ads or the Job Service, Squires sought his new employee through the EmployAbilities office of Opportunity Resources http://www.opportunityresources.org . And Hogan connected with a job far more stable and lucrative than the cleaning and lawn-work stints she’d had before.

“I hit the jackpot in here,” Hogan said. “Stamping checks can be a drag, but I like the mail runs. I get to see all the different offices.”

Hogan comes to Blackfoot three-and-a-half hours a day, five days a week. The work has a steady paycheck and benefits, something she’s rarely had in her 54 years. For Squires, Blackfoot’s senior vice president, it’s a combination of the right person for the job and the right thing to do.
