Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.,
together with FreshDirect and the Bronx Overall Economic Development
Corporation, hosted a job fair in the rotunda of the Bronx County
Building, interviewing applicants for positions at FreshDirect’s current
headquarters in Long Island City, Queens.
Prior
to the job fair, the Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation
prescreened more than 200 applicants for positions with FreshDirect.
More than 70 individuals moved on to the second round of interviews with
the company.
“FreshDirect
has made real commitments to our borough, and today’s job fair shows
that they are ready to hire Bronxites years before they are located
here,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. “This job fair is a
great example of how we can work with businesses to make development
work for everyone.”
