GoodTemps wins Westchester contract

February

About 50 workers with disabilities are expected to be hired for jobs at Westchester County government offices as a result of a new contract between the county and GoodTemps, a temporary staffing agency.

GoodTemps, a division of Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey Inc., said that the job opportunities for workers with disabilities include short-term and long-term temporary positions.

GoodTemps, which operates offices in New York and New Jersey, is one of the largest privately held temporary services agencies in the region. It has placed about 600 people with disabilities in jobs in the metro area.

“The GoodTemps contract is significant because it marks Goodwill’s first foray into Westchester County,” said David Schoch, senior vice president of GoodTemps. “We’re very proud to have been chosen for the assignment.”

The county contract makes GoodTemps the exclusive provider of temporary staffing services to Westchester County agencies. The contract was awarded through the New York State Industries for the Disabled.

To screen applicants, GoodTemps has opened its first Westchester office in the Goodwill store at 380 North Saw Mill River Road (Skyline Drive), in Elmsford. Individuals looking for jobs can call 646-573-8820 or submit resumes to staffing@goodwillny.org.
