Jobs Anyone?
Most of us know the pain of job seeking – and for some, it’s been especially hard recently! Over a million fewer jobs were posted online in January than 2 months prior, marking the sharpest decline since 2005. The job seekers in December outnumbered open positions by 7.3 million. Not only does this paint a scary picture for the job seekers, but with more people applying to a smaller selection of jobs, employers have to sort through a larger amount of applications, taking away vital work hours.
A survey in 2005 reported 90% of companies in Northern America use staffing services to hire temporary and permanent staff. These companies are on the right track! A staffing firm, like G.1440 (the best for IT Staffing!), can save a company a significant amount of time and money in making sure the right candidate is chosen for the job. In this economy, no one can afford to sift through the ever growing pool of applicants looking for the diamond in the rough – which is why we’re excited to be a staffing agency that’s always focused on bringing a handful of quality candidates rather than a stack of papers.
And, of course, if you’re looking for a position don’t be afraid to check out a staffing firm! Agencies like ours are aware of job openings much faster than Internet job boards because of the relationship with upper management. And, contrary to what you might think a staffing firm isn’t competing for your salary. Companies pay the best agencies to find the best talent – often for a commission based on a placement pay. Who wouldn’t want an advocate on their side fighting for the most money possible?
It’s scary out there. G.1440 can help!
