As many know, there is a nationwide and statewide shortage of workers, especially in the service industry. Our employees in dining, facilities services, and public safety in Vermont have been working in the midst of a significant staffing shortage brought on by the low unemployment rate and the pandemic. As a result, there are numerous vacant benefits-eligible positions in these areas. To help address those needs, Middlebury has implemented a number of programs focused on recruitment of staff in these areas.

Effective immediately, all employees who refer a candidate to a benefits eligible dining, facilities services, and public safety positions will be eligible for a $500 referral bonus after the new hire completes their 90-day provisional period. In addition, new hires into regular full- and part-time positions in dining, facilities, and public safety will be eligible for a $750 sign-on bonus at the completion of 180 days of employment.

For a full list of open positions, visit:  Employment | Middlebury.  When applying on-line, applicants will be prompted to include any relevant employee referral information.  The time has never been better to build a future here!
