BRP on seasonal hiring blitz

Recruitment Agency Emplois Compétences will be holding a special hiring day for its customer, BRP, today, Aug. 30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at its Sherbrooke office at 1520 King Street West. A second day will take place on Thursday, Sept. 6 in Granby at 58-2 rue Moreau, from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Labor requirements remain high for BRP, whose order book is well filled. To complete the 2018 Ski-doo's production season, Compétences Emplois has to find dozens of people, including assembling line workers. The new employees will work at the new Valcourt plant on a new state-of-the-art assembly line for CAN-AM Spyder vehicles and Ski-doo snowmobiles in its Valcourt plant.

In this time of labour scarcity, Compétences Emplois is confident that it can meet the challenge of hiring dozens of people for seasonal work and points out that BRP offers bonuses of at least $500 to those who complete the assembly season in December. In addition, joining the Emplois Compétences BRP team is an integration opportunity for newcomers. Semi-retirees and retirees seeking extra income are also being actively courted by the company.

"Everybody who shows up at our offices in Sherbrooke or Granby will get a guaranteed job interview," said Guylaine Gingras, Candidate Service Manager at Emplois Compétences.

In addition to assemblers, BRP is looking for drivers, welders, machine operators, and mechanics.
