Here at Express Employment Professionals, we use the term "direct hire" to describe a hiring situation where an associate begins working directly for one of our client companies instead of working a certain number of hours as an Express employee before being hired on at said company. Our team of Employment Specialists are all about that ℙ𝔼ℝ𝔽𝔼ℂ𝕋 𝕁𝕆𝔹 𝕄𝔸𝕋ℂℍ. We're here to make sure that you can find a job at a company with the right culture fit and a great wage.

HR, HM's & OM's.... If hiring is not a top priority for you at the present moment, why are you posting job ads &/or hiring recruiters who you know will spend countless hours sourcing and screening candidates for those roles? 😑 If your organization is not prepared internally to bring on a new employee, why are you even talking about doing so? 🤨 You do know that when a person shows interest in and applies for a job, they are likely jobless and need a job like ASAP, right? 🤔 For the sake of everyone's time, and likely sanity, please STOP posting jobs and hiring recruiters until you get it together and know what your company actually wants and needs 🤗 Signed, Every Job Seeker & Recruiter in Existence ✒

I recently encountered a unique experience in my HR journey that highlighted the importance of clear communication and understanding. We interviewed a promising candidate, investing an hour to build rapport and assess compatibility. Impressed, we extended an offer with an elevated basic salary, waiting five days for her response. Gratefully, she accepted, and we eagerly anticipated her joining us in three weeks. On the much-anticipated onboarding day, I reached out in the morning to ensure a smooth transition, receiving a prompt response that she was on the way. Confident in welcoming this exceptional talent, I eagerly waited her arrival. However, shortly after, she informed me of her decision to decline the offer due to a purported skin condition. This turn of events left us deeply disappointed and somewhat perplexed. Why wasn’t this information disclosed earlier, especially during our comprehensive discussions about the job role and her well-being? Transparency and honesty are paramount in any professional engagement, and this experience underscores the importance of forthrightness from both parties. To jobseekers: There are other qualified candidates waiting. Being considerate of other people’s time benefits everyone. Let’s strive for open communication and honesty in every step of the hiring process. #transparency #hiring #openness #jobseeksers

This is fantastic...HOWEVER...and I really hope people take the time to read this. It easy to KNOW deep within yourself that you ARE qualified and have a TON of skills as well as professional polish to bring to the table. The polish, knowledge and relevant cross-over skills that cannot be taught in a classroom, but are born, forged and honed in the fire of life and a variety of experiences that would make you a valuable asset to any organization. However, you read the job postings for even the basic of HR position and they almost all read like they were written from the same script, and you become discouraged. They all just focus on someone who can do A, B and C. It seems like no one cares about character or integrity anymore or the depth that someone can bring. Then there is this whole *gate keeping* concept. The resume screening software that cannot determine character or integrity, again just whether or not the proper keywords are on the resume and again all the boxes are checked. All of this can just automatically disqualify highly desirable candidates. What has happened in the workforce? Why has it become so shallow, why are people more focused on all of the right boxes being checked, why don't employers take the time to value applicants? Why should highly qualified job candidates have to play resume games and gymnastics to get noticed? These are just rhetorical questions I am posing as I already know the answers. I would suggest that since it is called HUMAN Resources, that employers focus on the HUMAN aspect. Take time to actually read over resumes and not just average 6-8 seconds. If a candidate has taken time to craft their resume in hopes to gain an employers attention why should it just be discarded by some impersonal software program or briefly glanced at then tossed aside. Who knows what gems you may be passing over. I believe that the HUMAN should be kept in Human Resources.

Keep in mind that not everyone you're trying to hire is going to leave their current role for money! #careeradvice #workforcedevelopment #positiveimpact "Most job seekers say it is more important to them to have a meaningful job than a high-level job title (83%) and define success more by work/life balance than climbing the corporate ladder (80%)" Job Seekers Buck the Trend, Opting for Purpose over Corporate Promotion. #AmericaEmployed (expresspros.com)
