A recruiter from the Chautauqua County Department of Human Resources was recently spotlighted in a feature on how the county is working to attract new talent and rethink public service recruitment. The episode of "Behind the Curtain Inside NeoGov" features Lauren Ryan, who encourages candidates to consider the broader range of opportunities available in county government, rather than focusing solely on individual job openings. Chautauqua County employs professionals across a wide variety of fields, including nursing, engineering, law, information technology, social services, mental health, transportation and environmental services.
As part of her work, Ryan goes beyond traditional recruitment methods to build relationships with schools, community organizations, workforce partners and professionals in hard-to-fill fields. She attends career fairs, makes connections with potential applicants and, when necessary, expands recruitment efforts beyond the county and surrounding region.
Her efforts reflect the county's commitment to connecting people with meaningful career opportunities while building a workforce that can continue delivering essential services to residents.
