A Message from Our CEO, Colleen Kowal

As our team continues to adapt to our “new normal”, I want to take the time to let you know how much we value you and how much you mean to Coastal Employment’s family. Our dedicated recruiting team is continuing to work remotely to meet your needs. We are continuing to recruit for clients who have current hiring needs and are providing temporary employees to cover for those who have staff shortages or specialized needs specific to this unique time. Although we miss the face to face interactions and being able to visit with our business partners and employee-candidates, we made the commitment to be a resource to every candidate and client even more often during this time.

We take our commitment to our partners and to our community very seriously. In our many years of business, we have weathered good times and bad and know how important it is to have community in times like these. We hope you use the above information as a resource and that you please share it with your family and friends. Should you have any questions we are here to assist you at any time. We hope to see everyone face to face again soon. May we appreciate it even more when it comes!

With much gratitude,

Colleen S Kowal
