Part-time job placement service

LYONS – Tiffany Brodie is the business development associate with 10 til 2, the part-time job placement service. She is introducing the new company 10 til 2, the part time job placement service. This service has been placing part-time, professional employees into the Northern Colorado and the greater Boulder area for over three years and is now bringing services to Lyons and Longmont.

The 10 til 2 service has shifted the paradigm of staffing by providing businesses with educated, professional employees for long-term, part-time job opportunities. This is not a temp service, which is a mistake people often make. Instead, 10 til 2 works primarily in the permanent work world – just  part-time. The company provides employers with college-educated professionals who are looking for long term, part-time work. Given our current economic environment, 10 til 2 is a win-win solution for small to medium sized businesses looking to grow but not able to do so provided the costs associated with hiring full-time help.

The 10 til 2 service will take care of the expensive, time-consuming human resource duties while business owners focus on growing and tending to their businesses. By using 10 til 2 employees, business owners do not need to pay benefits. The 10 til 2 will do many things including: advertise a job opening, sort through resumes in the proprietary database to match skills with the business requirements, conduct initial screenings, schedule interviews, perform reference checks, handle hiring paperwork and ongoing payroll processing. When they find the perfect part-time employee, they place that person on their payroll. You simply pay for only the hours required to get the job done.

Balcony Office Suites opens up on Main Street

LYONS – John Burke along with his wife Janice Gavan have recently completed the renovation of the building at 431 Main St., which was built in 1890. The Barking Dog Café, located on the ground floor, just recently opened and on the second level Burke has renovated the area and created up to five offices that are now available for rent starting at $550. The Balcony Office Suites have a large conference room, a reception area and a kitchen with all the amenities including stove, refrigerator, microwave, and cabinets.  There is also a glorious balcony perfect for an after-hours business chat with a client and a glass of wine. “Renovating this old building has become a labor of love for some of the local craftsmen and artists in this area,” said John Burke. “We have done some very clever things with it and I am so pleased. These area is designed to be high-end office space for those who need to meet with clients and want to stop driving to Boulder or Longmont.”

Burke said that they wanted to preserve as much of the old building as possible and to be true to the history of Lyons. Each office has its own separate entrance and offices can be combined to form a suite. Four offices are available for rent. Mayor Julie Van Domelen has rented one of the offices for her work.
