Rebecca Emlet is a human resource executive, feeling the pinch of the job market right now.
Her role covers a swath of the Northeast as the regional senior HR manager for Campbell Snacks, but she s focused on Hanover, Pennsylvania, this week, as the snack food company home to Snyder s of Hanover pretzels holds a job fair Wednesday. Emlet is a Hanover native.
Campbell has 100 job openings in the York County plant, and it s offering a $1,000 sign-on bonus for a variety of roles.
That s what the job market requires now: incentives, including bonuses, because of record low unemployment for a couple of years, pandemic-related aftershocks and other factors that have kept some potential hires at home. It s a feast for job seekers, as some employers have raised starting wages, and when they can, businesses are providing more work-from-home opportunities.
