\nExpress Employment Professionals, a locally owned small business, opened its second Capital Region location in December.
\nIt is located in the T.J. Maxx plaza on Route 50 in Saratoga Springs. Owner Jordan Modiano opened his first Express Employment franchise in Albany in September 2015.
\n\u201cTo put it simply, we help people find jobs, and we help companies find employees,\u201d he said.
\nA Long Island native, Modiano moved to the area in 1999. He had a 20-year career in advertising and marketing before purchasing the franchise. Express Employment Professionals was founded in 1983 and has more than 780 franchise locations in the United States, Canada, and South Africa.
\n\u201cI wanted to do something that made a difference in people\u2019s lives and the community that I live in,\u201d Modiano \u201cThat\u2019s been something I\u2019ve wanted to do for a long time.\u201d
\nAccording to Modiano, his franchise currently specializes in providing employment services to several specific employment sectors.
\n\u201cWe do a lot of light industrial work\u2014warehouse workers, general laborers, landscapers, maintenance technicians, manufacturing workers, drivers. We do a ton of that. And we do a lot of office services. Data entry clerks, call center people, phone operators, bookkeepers, even accountants. We do some skilled trades such as carpenters and welders,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cThis is kind of where we have found ourselves after four years. As we grow, we will expand into other verticals. But we can\u2019t be everything to everybody at any point in time.\u201d
\nExpress Employment does not charge a fee to the job applicants (associates) that utilize their services. Instead, they receive compensation from the companies (clients) they serve. In 2019, the Albany franchise serviced 108 different clients and put 500 associates to work. These numbers are expected to increase dramatically with the opening of the Saratoga Springs office.
\nExpress Employment interviews all applicants and checks their references. By doing this, they save their clients both time and money.
\n\u201cInterviewing day in and day out and running ads and doing all of the things that we do to get a good person takes time, energy, and effort,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what we do. That\u2019s our business. Our clients have their actual businesses to focus on.\u201d
\nExpress Employment also offers what they call an evaluation hire. This allows an associate to work for a client on a trial basis. The evaluation hire time period typically lasts 90 days (720 hours).
\n\u201cDuring that time, the associate evaluates the client and the client evaluates the associate,\u201d said Modiano. \u201cAt any point in time if it\u2019s not a fit, the client can let us know and we can make a change. If it is a fit, by the time the client wants to bring that associate on to their payroll as a core employee, they have gotten to know that associate and they are making a really smart hiring decision.\u201d
\nModiano described the current job market as \u201cvery tight\u201d due to the strong economy and low unemployment rates. He said his company has no difficulty finding work for qualified applicants who possess strong skill sets.
\nHe acknowledged it has become increasingly difficult to find qualified applicants to fill trade positions. For example, he said there are shortages of CDL drivers, mechanics, carpenters, welders, plumbers, and HVAC technicians.
\n\u201cWe just can\u2019t find those people,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have more jobs than qualified applicants for these trades. It\u2019s been that way for years. It doesn\u2019t make a difference what the trade is.\u201d
\nWith the opening of the Saratoga Springs office, Express Employment\u2019s staff has grown to 10 employees. He credits his company\u2019s success to the strong relationships they form with their clients.
\n\u201cWe aren\u2019t just their vendors. We are their partners,\u201d he said. \u201cWe look at our clients and their needs and become partners with them. And one of the things we excel at is communication. Our clients thrive on good communication. That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s always good news. The facts aren\u2019t always the best, but there are never any surprises.\u201d
