According to Gallup last week, Employee Engagement in the U.S. fell to its lowest level in a decade in 2024, with only 31% of employees engaged. One of the greatest threats to company culture is growth. Even though expansion is usually a good thing, it’s easy to rock the status quo and lose your grasp on culture and employee engagement as you bring more people. This gives growing companies a huge challenge: how do you make sure employee 6 and employee 206 have the same experience? It’s all about building a culture that can accommodate growth without getting diluted right from the start. It’s also about having the right filter for talent and making sure that culture is felt from the first interview. How do you create the right hopper for talent? Can tech replace a human in the recruiting process? How do you make sure your company lives up to what people experience in interviews? In this #TalentHunters episode, host Vince Holt is joined by the Chief Operating Officer at Daemon, Jane Lockwood. She shares how they are maintaining culture in a high growth business and their approach to recruiting. #recruitingindustry #employeeengagement #companyculture #talentmanagement https://lnkd.in/eYzYVD4x

US Labor Data is in - Experts had been anticipating U.S. employers to add a healthy number of jobs in December, while recognizing that below the surface monthly hiring gains were concentrated in a handful of sectors. December’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Situation Summary data did not disappoint the analysts. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 256,000 in December with growth concentrated in the same sectors. The unemployment rate changed little at 4.1 percent. After increasing earlier in the year, the unemployment rate has been either 4.1 percent or 4.2 percent for the past 7 months. The number of unemployed people, at 6.9 million, also changed little in December. “The new year promises to be an eventful period in the executive, technical, professional and managerial employment world that our HireQuest Inc. divisions of over 425 offices operate in every day. The obvious primary driver is a new administration with a focus on creating conditions they see driving business investment and economic and job growth. From deregulation to unleashed energy production and technological innovation, improved government efficiency, and a tax environment to encourage investment, the Trump economic team hopes to accelerate long-term growth. A second factor is a dynamic that our MRINetwork and Snelling Staffing professionals deal with almost daily in consultations with clients and top candidates – a move to a final resolution of the work-from-home phenomena,” noted Rick Hermanns, president and chief executive officer of HireQuest Inc.

A successful acquisition takes place when an organization that sees something special to invest in meets a company that will be propelled further through a partnership. It’s a perfect marriage allowing both sides to achieve more together than they would separately. This is what HireQuest looks for when we’re looking to acquire a business. It’s not about money - in a people-facing service-based industry like staffing, the true asset of a business is its employees. An acquisition is about empowering and pouring into organizations that are bringing value to the industry. That’s why HireQuest focuses on not only investing into great companies, but also into talented employees who have the potential to become leaders in their own right. For the target company, the acquisition is an opportunity to escape the corporate administrative burden a lot of businesses are cursed with, which fuels even more growth! Today on #TalentHunters host Vince Holt is joined by two people who were on each side of an acquisition - HireQuest Direct and Snelling Staffing franchise owner, Kevin Semerad and HireQuest’s VP of Corporate Development, David Hartley. They share why this partnership is the perfect marriage in the recruiting and staffing space. Watch - 📺 YouTube - https://lnkd.in/eYtb-SdP Listen - 🎙️ Apple or Spotify - Talent Hunters
