BOLIVAR, Mo. (KY3) –
Citizens Memorial Hospital (CMH) typically hosts fall job fairs, where hiring managers look to fill essential roles and positions. This year’s format has shifted to a drive-thru style, and the number of available jobs has increased.
Jeremy Maclaughlin, Director of Human Resources, said CMH did not have layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, he said, services did slow down to prepare during the pandemic’s early surge, which resulted in most staff being redirected to other activities. While CMH is back to regular operation, Maclaughlin said they’re continuously growing in patients and long-term care residents due to its growing communities and the pandemic.
“To make it a little more comfortable for our staff and to ensure they are not feeling burnt out,” explained Maclaughlin. “Especially with the extra stress of the pandemic, we want to ensure we have an adequate number of staff to take care of the patients and residents that we have.”
Maclaughlin said to ensure the best for everyone, staffing up is a must. He explained that the nearly 200 essential positions open span across its eight servicing counties.
Robert Jaudes is the Recruitment Coordinator at CMH. He said the drive-thru hiring event would provide job seekers with a unique chance to make a personal connection safely.
“It allows us to still meet people in person, but keep us safe, our employees safe, and applicants safe as well,” said Jaudes.
