doubleserious Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Anyone hear anything about referrals getting called? I'm a referral who took the test and passed in the Fall of last year and I haven't heard anything yet except that I passed the test and was supposedly "higher up on the list". Not trying to be a broken record here or anything, I genuinely appreciate all the information/feedback that I've received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jastratton Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I passed everything but never got called..must be the background check..oh well not all that great of a job anyway. Not nowadays anyway.Even temp agencies offer you insurance after 90 days.. LtS takes 8 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecountry Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 if anything like Louisville. They over manned all 3 shifts with new hires but they dropped like flies when the line speed took off Flat Rock is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleserious Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Any word on new hires? Is all the hiring done? Really in a crappy spot here. I am a referral and was told that I passed the test and would be called but I haven't heard a peep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2B Home Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Now that production has resumed at FRAP, is there any news on when FRAP HR will be contacting referrals about drug tests and/or physicals? Like several who have posted here, my family member was contacted a while back that Proficiency Test results were good, but has heard nothing since. Just wanting to ensure my referral's name hasn't fallen off the table. Any info on timing of new shift will also be appreciated. Thanks!

Bobofbob Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Does anyone truly know if all the hiring is is complete for flat rock plant or will they be calling in more people for training. As I have read and seen news article that said "the training facility only can train 50 people for 8 hours". So with each trainee needing at least 1 full week of training I was wondering are they be calling in referrals or people who passed the test through out the month of August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmichiganman Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Everyone hired is on the floor training. No new employees. Jobs are all full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflep1 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Everyone is not yet on the floor training. 75 people are going through orientation this week and will hit the floor Monday. 150 part timers will come the following Monday. There have been over 100 new workers who have quit or were fired so far. No further testing has been announced, but it still could happen if a lot more of the new hires don't last. B shift is not yet fully staffed and is scheduled to start Sep 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expolice Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Update for my referral; He was called on August 13th. Was sent some paper work for his physical, which had to be done at the specified location by August 15th. He reported to the plant on August 19th. So far he is liking it well enough. Remember its called a job and work and not a party! He is current on 1st shift, but I suspect that is just for the "training" and will be moved to 2nd/B shift. He has a college drgree in Criminal Justice but does not want to be a LEO. I guess that makes him a "loser" in some posters opinion since this is the best offer he had in some time other than permanent part time work installing office furniture. Hopefully the economy and the auto business specificallywill improve over time and the wages and benefits will return! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expolice Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I agree with nothing wrong with being an LEO but he has decided that that is not what he wants to do/be. His uncle is a retired LEO from NJ. Uncle just was certified/recertified to be an LEO in Florida. Apparently retirement is A) costly and B) boring for my B-I-L! Update on my referral...He was told today that he and several other Long Term Supplemental Employees will be Laid-Off indefinitely. He said he was training his replacement late last week/earlier this week! I advised him to not burn bridges, etc. and perhaps there will be a chance to get called back.

mnm Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Most of that hiring is going to be for salary and for asia. There is a stamping plant in ohio closing this summer. Those folks will get first dibs on any openings. If the economy slows at all and they pull a shift at I.e flat rock or MAP, then all of the sudden there are hundreds of surplus employees. ...... no need to hire. I think the only place that may need people is kansas city assembly. I think all these rumors of hiring sprees and needing thousands of people are put out to boost stock prices and boost company reputation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 8 new lines almost ready at the Sterling Axle Plant. They are obviously going to need people for these lines. I was put on a list to take the test back in July so why would they ask for a referral if they don't plan on hiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Driver Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Mikem201. This is the worst place to try to gather useful, accurate information. If you like rumors and listening to bedroom experts who think they have all of the answers this is a great place. Sometimes you will actually find a crumb of accurate information. If you are a tradesman looking for work go here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ford-Skilled-Trades-Careers/505287012869770 Good luck my friend.

Its just that my friend who works at the plant put my name and 2 numbers on a list back in July. I just have no clue when they might call. Some say after first of the year others say March. Its just frustrating is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
