First “real” job could be real “local”. South Shore business reaches out to South Shore colleges to recruit recent grads

July 13, 2011 //  by admin

HANOVER, MASSACHUSETTS… 

When it comes to new college graduates, there’s certainly no shortage in the greater Boston area. For recent graduates of South Shore colleges like Curry College, Eastern Nazarene College, Quincy College, Bridgewater State, and Stonehill College that means competing for your first “real” job with graduates from Boston’s colleges and universities. One South Shore business, G-Force Shipping, a third-party logistics provider based in the South Shore town of Hanover, is looking to level the playing field and give graduates of South Shore colleges first crack at their first job.

G-Force is partnering with South Shore colleges to recruit entrepreneurial-minded college graduates for a number of sales and customer service representative positions. G-Force’s efforts have included on-campus recruitment and on-campus interviews and recruitment advertising in college publications. The firm just recently hired a new customer service representative as a result of this effort, Charlie Edlund, a 2011 Curry College graduate.

“With jobless rates still hovering around nine percent, new grads face an uphill battle to get that critical first job and gain precious job experience,” said Gordie Macfarlane, president of G-Force Shipping. “Obviously, we want to hire qualified, talented applicants like Charlie. As a business based on the South Shore, we made a conscious decision to start our search for that talent at South Shore schools of which many of the students are also from the area.”

In addition to Edlund, G-Force is looking to fill three additional customer service representative positions.

“Graduating in this economy, I didn’t quite know what to expect when I hit the job market,” said Edlund, a Hanover resident. “I’m grateful that G-Force took the initiative to recruit at my school. I know many of my friends are still looking for their first job. I’m happy to not only have a job, but one I really like so far and close to home.”

Colleges interested in partnering with G-Force for job placement for students can contact Gordie Macfarlane at 877-743-6623.

As a third-party logistics provider, G-Force Shipping provides manufacturers, dealers and distributors with an easy-to-use, Web-based shipping utility, www.GForceship.com, which delivers instant quotes and multiple carrier choices in seconds. There’s no long-term commitment. Access to a free online account or a toll-free number is all G-Force customers need. The only fees associated with an account are those directly connected to the shipping costs.

For more information, please call 877-7-GFORCE or visit www.gforceship.com.

More carriers, more choices, more savings.

Shake hands with a new, white glove service…G-Force Shipping introduces white glove service

January 11, 2011 //  by admin

HANOVER, MASSACHUSETTS…

G-Force Shipping, a third-party logistics provider based in Hanover, Mass., recently unveiled a white glove service for its customers.

“Our white glove service actually starts with our easy-to-use online shipping tool. Our customers have access to more than 70 national and regional LTL carriers so they can find the right carrier at the right price for their shipment without picking up the phone,” said Gordie Macfarlane, president of G-Force Shipping. “The key to a successful shipment, however, is follow through and making sure that everything happens as it’s supposed to and that’s really what the white glove service is about.”

G-Force Shipping’s white glove service features:

  • Follow-up by phone or e-mail by G-Force customer service representatives to ensure safe arrival of every single shipment.
  • 24/7 customer service; including access to G-Force customer service reps via cell phone after business hours and on weekends.
  • More than 70 carriers to choose from on G-Force’s Web site to obtain the best quote for Less Than Truckload (LTL), Full Truckload (FTL) and small parcel shipments. That includes a Multi-carrier view of shipping options and prices
  • Freight consulting services – our customer service reps have more than 50 years of combined experience. Need help deciphering a quote, selecting the proper amount of insurance or anything else, G-Force reps are available.
  • Online Warehouse Management System (OWMS), which gives customers real-time inventory visibility and allows for automated re-order dates.

“Our primary reason for using G-Force initially was customer service and discounted rates. Bill of Ladings are easy to create (especially for repeat shipments) and having the ability to save quotes online for future shipments saves a tremendous amount of time. Any time there is a problem with pickups or deliveries or special requests, one phone call or e-mail to G-Force’s customer service saves the day,” said Wendy B. Hamilton, vice president of Sunbelt Plastic.

For more information on G-Force Shipping’s range of services, including its White Glove Service, please visit www.gforceship.com or call 877-7-GFORCE (877-743-6723).
