TAMPA, Fla., May 8, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- 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."
