Today, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and executives of Horseshoe Casino Baltimore announced the details of an expansive program to inform city residents about the 1,700 new jobs being created by the $442 million casino entertainment complex. The hiring program, which begins next month, will use a creative mix of recruitment efforts to identify qualified local job candidates to staff the casino in advance of its third quarter 2014 grand opening.
Working in conjunction with Mayor Rawlings-Blake, the Baltimore City Council, and the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED), Horseshoe Baltimore will conduct city-wide outreach to educate residents about available positions, job qualifications, and the application process.

The team will employ promotion methods ranging from neighborhood canvassing to social media campaigns to spread the word.
