Immediate Problems? Meet the Interim Solution

1/25/2023

 
Picture
If there’s one thing that companies and employers crave right now, it’s flexibility. There’s no question that many managers and their staffs are overburdened at the moment, constantly looking for ways to accomplish more regardless of market conditions.
 
With this in mind, there are a variety of different situations in which a company might opt to hire an interim (or temporary) employee. Those situations include the following:
 
  • During the unexpected absence of a key staff member
  • During the absence of an employee due to termination or resignation
  • The completion of an important project within a specified and definitive timeframe
  • An overburdened manager in need of more time, energy, and resources
 
Part of the flexibility inherent in hiring an interim or temporary employee is that the company can utilize their skills and know-how for any length of time, as much—or as little—as they need to.
 
The problem for many company officials is that they’re hesitant or fearful about hiring on an interim basis. However, when examined more closely, the pros outweigh the cons, and the benefits could be tremendous. As many fears and pitfalls as there are when it comes to hiring candidates on an interim basis, there are just as many—if not more—advantages and benefits:
 
  • The opportunity to draw upon the expertise of somebody not currently on your full-time staff
  • Completion of projects and assignments more quickly and efficiently
  • Greater productivity with a minimum of workflow interruption
  • The ability to add expertise, productivity, and efficiency without the costs associated with hiring a full-time employee
 
Now let’s address the fears or potential pitfalls:
 
  • The interim might not fully understand the objectives of the assignment.
  • There might be a learning curve involved for the interim employee, necessitating additional education and/or training.
 
Flexibility and creativity are vitally important in today’s job market. Companies can’t be too rigid in their approach. Instead, they should be willing to accommodate the varying factors involved with each individual situation. No two interim positions are exactly the same, and no two interim employees are exactly the same.  Attempting to apply the same rigid guidelines to all of them could be counterproductive.  
 
Besides, if the ultimate goal is to convince the employee or executive to stay for the long haul, being flexible and accommodating will go a long way toward accomplishing that goal.
 
Last year, Time Staffing won ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Client and Talent Awards for providing superior service to their clients and candidates. ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Award is the only award in the United States and Canada that recognizes staffing agencies that have proven superior service and quality based entirely upon ratings provided by their clients and job candidates. Time Staffing received satisfaction scores of 9 out of 10 or 10 out of 10 from 75.4% of their placed talent, significantly higher than the industry’s average of 45%.

Yet More Ways to Provide Value to Your Employer

1/18/2023

 
Picture
We’ve written before about the importance of providing value to your employer. There are a number of reasons for this:

  • The value that you offer is the reason that a company would hire you in the first place.
  • The amount and the different kinds of value that you offer determines your worth to the organization. (This becomes even more important when there is a recession and the members of management must decide which employees will stay and which ones must go.)
  • The value that you offer is a critical factor in determining whether or not you receive a raise and/or a promotion.
 
With all of this in mind, the more value that you can provide, the better. Below are yet five more ways to provide value to your employer:
 
#1—Show up.
 
This is quite possibly the most basic and critical element, because you can’t provide value if you’re not there. This means showing up on time and showing up consistently. When you do this, you brand yourself as somebody who is reliable, and over time, as somebody who is trustworthy.
 
#2—Do NOT be a “clock watcher.”
 
Don’t bolt out the door as soon as possible, especially if there are problems in the workplace that still need to be addressed. Your willingness to do whatever is necessary to get the job done (even if it means staying past quitting time) can increase your value exponentially.
 
#3—Be flexible in the face of change.
 
Flexibility is a must in the workplace if a company is to succeed, which means that organizations are in need of flexible employees. This means being flexible in your time, in your mindset, and in how you approach your work.
 
#4—Bring a can-do attitude to problems.
 
The ability to solve problems is one of the highest forms of value that you can provide for any employer, namely because there seems to be no end to the number of problems in the world. The first step in solving problems, though, is believing that you can solve them.
 
Because when you believe that you can solve them, you start to think of ways that you can get the job done.
 
#5—Be a positive influence on others.
 
Positivity, as they say, is contagious. When you’re more positive, the people around you are more likely to be positive, and that is valuable to any employer. This can mean a number of things, including bringing a can-do attitude to problems, being encouraging to coworkers, and refusing to participate in gossip.

Important Hiring Trends That Will Shape 2023

1/11/2023

 
Picture
It would be an understatement to say that the employment marketplace and job market have undergone considerable changes during the past three years.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic kicked off one of the most turbulent periods in the history of our nation’s workforce—and the turbulence may not be over yet. After all, the Great Resignation is still happening and the pandemic still exists, albeit in the form of weaker strains of the virus.
 
Regardless, while there is no crystal ball that will reveal the future, there are some things about which we can be almost certain. As you will see, many of them are simply a continuation of trends that began during the past three years. And since there does not appear to be anything poised to stop them—at least at this point—they could continue unimpeded.
 
Below are four important hiring trends that will shape 2023:
 
#1—Remote interviewing
 
The pandemic is most definitely behind this trend, and it’s continued almost unabated since the pandemic started. Employers are still conducting in-person interviews, but they’re quickly becoming the exception rather than the rule.
 
With this in mind, it’s a good idea to audit your interviewing practices, starting with all of the interviews that you conducted in 2022.
 
#2—Increased emphasis on diversity and inclusion
 
Actually, the acronym is DEI, which stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. According to Wikipedia, DEI is “a conceptual framework that claims to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, especially in the workplace, including populations who have historically been under-represented or subject to discrimination because of their background, identity, disability, etc.”
 
This is a trend that is NOT going away, regardless of how prevalent (or not) the COVID-19 virus becomes.
 
#3—The need for employee retention efforts
 
As noted above, the Great Resignation has not slowed down much, if at all, since it began nearly two years ago (despite the fact that some large technology companies have recently laid off employees).
 
More than ever, companies must do what is necessary to adequately engage their employees, especially their top performers. Failure to do so can result in the loss of those employees—and the value that they bring to the organization.
 
#4—The need for temporary workers.
 
You’ve probably noticed the nearly non-stop flow of headlines proclaiming that there will be a recession in the near future, most likely in 2023. Since that’s the case, temporary workers will become an important part of employers’ workforce management plans.
 
This is yet another reason why building a relationship with an experienced staffing firm is a strategic move heading into 2023.
 
Last year, Time Staffing won ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Client and Talent Awards for providing superior service to their clients and candidates. ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Award is the only award in the United States and Canada that recognizes staffing agencies that have proven superior service and quality based entirely upon ratings provided by their clients and job candidates.

5 Steps for Creating a Career Plan to Grow in 2023

1/4/2023

 
Picture
​The New Year is upon us, one filled with potential and possibilities! At least, we hope that’s the case, both personally and professionally.
 
And speaking of your professional life, suppose that this is the year that you make serious progress in your career. Because of the pandemic and other factors, the past few years have not exactly been conducive to exponential professional growth.
 
However, 2023 could be different. But what must you do to make it happen? What steps should you take?
 
The good news is that we have the answers! Below are five steps for creating a career plan to grow in 2023:
 
#1—Conduct research.
 
This is not as intimidating as it sounds. In this case, Google is your friend. Find out what’s happening in the industry in which you work. See where the opportunities might be and which companies are offering those opportunities.
 
#2—Audit your skills and interests.
 
Conduct an objective assessment of your skills and experience. Basically, identify the value that you can offer to an employer. What about your interests? What interests you the most, especially in an employment opportunity?
 
#3—Make networking a priority.
 
We can’t emphasize enough the role that networking can play in a person’s career. It’s not just what you know and it’s not just who you know, but’s a combination of both what you know and who you know. So at the same time that you’re increasing your knowledge, be sure to increase and enrich your professional relationships.
 
#4—Set aggressive yet realistic goals.
 
These are also known as “reach goals.” They should make you feel a bit uncomfortable when you set them, because you might have to step out of your comfort zone in order to achieve them. “All growth is painful,” as the saying goes.
 
#5—Align yourself with an experienced staffing agency.
 
There are people who can help you to tackle your professional goals and grow your career. In fact, they may already have access to great new employment opportunities in your area. However, you won’t know about them or be able to leverage the expertise of a staffing agency without first reaching out and expressing your interest.
