Express Employment Professionals - Grand Rapids, MI

ALERT: We have recently learned that scammers are using the Express Employment Professionals name on platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed. Scammers often use well-known companies/employers to create fake job posts to get personal information from job seekers. We value your privacy and will not ask for secure information until you’ve completed a phone or in-person interview. Even then, we would only request this information through a secure system and never through text or social media messaging. If you are ever concerned about information that is being requested, please contact our office immediately at 616-281-0611, and we will confirm the authenticity of the job posting.
