Recruitment video available

McCOOK, Neb. — To assist businesses who recruit workers from outside the area, the McCook Economic Development Corp. released a McCook Recruitment Video to improve the online presence for prospective employees. The four-minute video features area amenities and testimonials of individuals who are proud to live, work, and play in the McCook area.

The idea of the video initially was formed by former Executive Director Andrew Ambriz and Acme Printing and Design owner Jared Muehlenkamp. Lexi Gross, who is studying Media at Fort Hays State University, was hired as a summer intern to capture the material and develop the video.

Andy Long, MEDC Executive Director said, “For the last couple years, I have heard from major employers who said it was difficult to attract qualified candidates to McCook. When all you see is a little dot on a map, it is hard to attract candidates. We can use this video to help us put our best foot forward and highlight the great quality of life found in southwest Nebraska, it helps make the right first impression to people considering employment here. Coordinating this effort seemed like a great way to provide a service to area employers.”

MEDC welcomes businesses and to link or embed the video on their website that can be found here. If anyone has questions or needs the code to embed the video, they can contact Andy at andy@mccookne.org or 308-345-1200.
