Believe it or not, this is still a great time to hire. We like to find the positive in all things so here’s what we’re seeing in our industry that HELPS us during COVID19.
- We have had a shortage in some positions; the good news to come out of the pandemic is the pool of talent has expanded; time to capitalize on this opportunity.
- Many folks in other industries; managers, technicians, retail associates have been furloughed or permanently laid off and are now open to making a change to our industry. With a little training, let’s transfer some of those skills!
- Candidates are re-evaluating and analyzing the industries they work for and are deciding to look for a new industry; ESPECIALLY family owned. Yes, you heard that right! Candidates are looking to see an impact in what their work can produce and feel like a true contributor.
