Jeane Thorne Inc. Centralizes its Twin Cities Operations
April, 2007
On April 30th, Jeane Thorne Inc., a leading Minnesota temporary staffing and fulltime placement firm, centralized its Twin Cities' offices. The centralization of both the St. Paul and Minneapolis operations will enhance the ability to recruit a larger pool of employees with accounting, financial, administrative, legal, and customer service skill sets; thus, enhancing the responsiveness to clients ongoing staffing challenges.
Jeane Thorne is now located at 2701 University Avenue S.E., Minneapolis - east of the University of Minnesota and just off I-94 via the Huron Boulevard exit (the University/280 exit also an option if coming from the east metro).
'Letting go of a 38 year tradition of being headquartered downtown was a difficult decision,' says Mary Marso, Jeane Thorne CEO. 'However, it is important that we respond to preferences of candidates and employees who have long voiced uneasiness about downtown traffic and one way streets. They also have increasingly voiced a preference for a location with easy access from the freeway along with free parking. Our new location answers these concerns, preferences, and more.'
The 2701 University S.E. location offers a hub easily reached from all directions with parking right outside the door. Bus transportation continues to be easily accessible with the University Avenue bus line and the future light rail line connecting Minneapolis and St. Paul will have a convenient station within two blocks of the office. With Jeane Thorne staff at one central location, we intend to take advantage of the portability of laptop computers and wireless connections to meet with and interview more candidates at coffee shops and restaurants all around the Twin Cities.
'Methods to recruit the absolute best talent continue to evolve,' indicates Andrew Schmitz, Jeane Thorne President & COO. 'It is crucial that we conduct face-to-face interviews with our prospective employees and job candidates prior to placing them. Today, Jeane Thorne has an on-line application which immediately populates into our database, on-line testing, on-line timecards, and of course, direct deposit. So most of the screening, testing, and paperwork can be done before we even shake hands with the applicant.'
