The First Choice program is a talent recruitment initiative for our local businesses. Candidates who are interviewing with local companies in Michigan’s Great Southwest are given the opportunity to learn and see more about the area that they may be calling home through a customized tour showcasing the community. Our seasoned tour guides, all of whom have relocated to the community themselves, work with candidates, identifying what is most important to them and their significant others and/or families, and show them neighborhoods, schools and other areas of interest. These tours provide new talent considering career options in Michigan’s Great Southwest, a clearer insight and perspective of what our area has to offer as well as support the recruiting and attraction strategies of our local businesses. 

Here’s what some of the candidates have to say about First Choice:

“The First Choice tour was wonderful. My husband and I were able to see first-hand what the community looked like and what it had to offer. We never would have been able to know this from our own research.”

“It was nice to work with a person who had relocated here from another state-made the whole experience more real to me. I appreciated knowing that they had been in my position before and was dealing with the same questions and issues of moving to a new community.”

“Never knew there was so much to do in Michigan’s Great Southwest!”
