The Hidden Jobs Report

In an earlier post I wrote about ways to find hidden jobs and as I reflected on that earlier today, I thought it might be useful if I made a weekly report to help you guys out. I mean, if you want me to. Let me know if you find this data useful and how it could be more useful. For now, here is the first (of many?) hidden jobs reports.
If a company announces that they are planning to hire hundreds of people, why wait for the roles to hit the want-ads? I suggest networking with people in the company that is hiring enmasse now. Here are a few leads to get you started:
- 9.6.10 – British bank Barclays (BARC.L) is to add up to 600 new jobs in Scotland where the financial services industry has been hit hard by the financial crisis.
- 9.5.10 – McDonald’s is hiring up to 1,000 new workers in Phoenix, AZ.
- 8.30.10 – Sprint announced that they are looking to hire and have up to 100 job openings at their Englewood, Colorado center.
- 9.3.10 – US Airways Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. have close to 300 jobs available in Temp, AZ
- 8.25.10 – As many as 500 teachers, 300 support staff and 50 maintenance workers and administrators would be hired. (Las Vegas, NV)
- 9.10.10 – PwC announces 800 new jobs, includes IT
- 9.4.10 – Sabreliner project will create 400 new jobs in southeast Missouri
- 8.16.10 – Comdata Adds 120 New Positions in Brentwood
- 9.3.10 – 100 new jobs to be created at Metro Bank
- 9.3.10 – Legal Sector Gained 1000 New Jobs in August
- 8.23.10 – Exelon Corp. said Monday it will launch a $4.6 billion power plant overhaul that will create more than 4,200 jobs over the next five years across Illinois. (Chicago)
- 9.3.10 – Celgard, a supplier of microporous separators used in lithium ion batteries, began construction yesterday on a manufacturing plant in Concord, North Carolina’s International Business Park. The 150,000-square-foot facility will create more than 200 jobs.
- 8.21.10 – Dow Kokam announced that it will use $161 million in stimulus money to develop an 80,000 square-foot battery manufacturing facility near its Midland, Michigan headquarters. This new plant will employ about 1,000 construction workers and then 800 people when complete.
- 8.21.10 – In Elkhart, Indiana, some hard-pressed gas-guzzling RV builders now plan to be manufacturing about 20,000 electric vehicles by 2013 for Norwegian-based Think motors. Think plans to invest $43.5 million improving and equipping its Elkhart plant, and expects to create more than 400 jobs in the area.
- 8.21.10 – Indianapolis-based EnerDel Inc. says that $118.5 million in federal stimulus money will enable it to double the size of its headquarters on the city’s northeast side. EnerDel will also soon employ up to 1,400 people manufacturing lithium-ion battery systems for electric and hybrid vehicles in Greenfield, Indiana. EnerDel and Ener1 Inc. plan to grow from 300 jobs today to 3,000 jobs or more by 2015.
- 8.26.10 – Moeller Tech bringing 75 jobs to Ga.
- A Fortune 500 medical-technology company plans to open a support-services operation in San Antonio that will employ 296 people.
Happy Hunting!

Looks like a lot of relocations, good for the moving companies, the economy needs 300k new jobs a month to put a dent in the unemployment numbers, this ain’t getting it done.

A wonderfully useful post Jim. The hidden job report is a great idea. My day job is a retained headhunter. None of the assignments I work on are never advertised so by definition there are “hidden” from the market. Your encouragement for job-seekers to network with people working within the organisations that you list is spot on. Keep up the great work!
All the best, James, Sydney, Australia
James,
I appreciate your kind words!!!
Cheers,
Jim
Report is a great idea. Caveat: Firms have figured out that a positive jobs piece is the least expensive way to get Marketing/PR exposure in local TV news and print, and nobody in the press is out there watchdogging to see if these jobs actually materialize after the press release has done its work. Maybe you could follow up with one or two per report just to keep them honest. Thanks again.
I have learn several excellent stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how so much attempt you set to create this kind of excellent informative web site.
