Recruiter contract draws ire of some SD firms

By AP | January 23, 2012

Chat Email

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Some South Dakota firms aren't happy with the state's decision to award a $5 million worker recruiting contract to Manpower Inc.

The contract recently announced by Gov. Dennis Daugaard calls for the Milwaukee-based recruiter to find 1,000 out-of-state workers in financial services, information technology, engineering and manufacturing to move to South Dakota.

Some South Dakota agencies say they would have liked the opportunity to bid on the contract. Key Staffing vice president Doug Erickson tells the Argus Leader (http://argusne.ws/zlG9BL) that he's not aware of any firms that even knew about it.

Daugaard's policy adviser Kim Olson says the bid process followed state law.

State legislators must approve the $5 million in spending. Some say they're awaiting more information before reaching a decision.
