As we engage with candidates daily, the below quote resonates. In our current industry landscape, there are more candidates than positions to fill. This signifies an employers' market. What does that mean? It means candidates no longer dictate terms. Employers can be very discerning about who they hire . We must be "humble, hungry, and hardworking", showcasing what we can offer employers. Employers seek executives dedicated to getting results. Success follows unwavering commitment to hard work. Let's talk... . Hope Brick, Brick Executive Search. Terah Ramos #executivesearch #Hardwork #showup #Greatness.

💡 Did you know the staffing and recruiting industry employs over 17 million workers in the United States alone? This sector plays a vital role in matching talented individuals with organizations seeking their skills. As someone deeply passionate about talent acquisition and nurturing professional growth, I find this statistic truly inspiring. For job seekers, it offers a wide range of opportunities to find their ideal roles, even opportunities they might not have stumbled upon otherwise --> AND for businesses, it's a bridge to exceptional talent and a path toward growth and innovation. There are 17 million reasons to believe in the staffing and recruiting industry #StaffingIndustry #Recruitment #ProfessionalGrowth #OpportunityAwaits

Q3 and Q4 mark the busiest times for staffing companies. The current employer market, contrasting with the employee market of 2021 and 2022, can cause employer hesitation. Despite the competitive job market, where candidates have multiple options, seizing the right talent remains crucial. Don't delay making a job offer if you find a promising candidate - someone else might not wait, and the opportunity could slip away. #JobMarket #Staffing #HiringAdvice

When the job market was booming post Covid, I advised candidates to treat their potential employers with courtesy and respect. 🤝 No ghosting. No playing off multiple offers against each other. No pulling out of roles at the last minute. Why? Because what goes around, comes around. ⭕ Today, the market has cooled and I find myself giving the same advice to clients. Don't lowball candidates. Don't string them along. Don't let your candidate experience go down the drain by giving roles to multiple agencies. Remember, the pendulum will always swing back the other way. Treat people with respect and build a strong reputation that will serve you well in the long run. #clients #candidates #process #respect #employees #employers

What do job seekers managing this competitive market want? Pay, security and engagement, according to a recent survey by staffing company Aerotek. Not surprisingly, compensation was the top motivator among job seekers surveyed. However, HR Dive notes that job security jumped in importance from the same survey last year, rising from 14% of respondents to 20%. One other big-ticket item for job seekers is a sense of togetherness. They say they feel better when engaging with co-workers and want to stay in a job that generates social connections.

Prolonged #recruitment processes hamper hiring efforts! Amid increasing strain on the labour market, analysts have revealed that despite signs of economic recovery following the 2024 #generalelection, #recruitmentactivity had "remained sluggish" with many companies choosing to handle hiring internally. This decision, often driven by concerns over “cost, resources and efficiency” has contributed to a slower #recruitmentprocess a survey outlined. As a result, the time to fill a permanent role has now stretched to an average of 35 days — a delay that can cause businesses to miss out on #toptalent. “Many organisations are reintroducing in-person #interviews, implementing multiple #interviewstages and setting more specific #candidaterequirements.” However, this more rigid approach has often backfired on #employers. #Skilledcandidates “often withdrew from the process in favour of other #opportunities”, leaving companies struggling to secure top talent.

Over the past few weeks, I've observed a worrying trend that has become increasingly prevalent across the industry. Many staffing vendors, crucial intermediaries between companies and job seekers, are now insisting that candidates work under their W2 – a shift that pressures individuals into making potentially undesirable employment decisions, especially in the current challenging market. This practice not only narrows the path for job seekers but also raises questions about fairness and the quality of talent being funneled to client positions. It's disheartening to see that in a time when adaptability and mutual support should be the prevailing winds, some are choosing to leverage the situation to their advantage, potentially at the cost of better-suited candidates and ethical hiring standards. Let's not forget that behind every resume is a person, with aspirations, responsibilities, and the need for stability. As an industry, our aim should be to enhance opportunities for all, not to create additional hurdles or to exploit market conditions for short-term gains. This approach may fill positions and pockets in the short run, but it risks the long-term reputation and efficacy of the staffing ecosystem, undermining trust and value in the relationships we strive to build. I believe it's time for a collective reevaluation of our practices and principles. Transparency, fairness, and mutual respect should define our interactions and transactions. By fostering an environment that prioritizes the right fit over the immediate fill, we nurture a more sustainable, ethical, and productive industry landscape. To all my fellow professionals, especially those in recruitment and staffing: Let's advocate for and adhere to higher standards that respect the dignity of each candidate and the genuine needs of clients. Together, we can drive positive change and ensure a healthier, more equitable job market. #EthicalHiring #TalentAcquisition #Recruitment #StaffingIndustry #ProfessionalEthics
