United Way of the Bluegrass’ Post

We’ve been doing this Brightside Collective thing for less than a month now, and already? Well, we’ve learnt a lot. Let’s just say that. Apart from navigating new biz ownership and ALL THE things that go with it, we’ve found that the many businesses we’ve met with and plan to meet with in the new year have people + talent problems outside of recruitment that we ACTUALLY have the power to help solve. Like getting the right eye balls on ad-copy and then the right people to apply is hard yakka. We know that first hand. But we also have a few good recipes up our sleeve that we reckon can help many businesses change the way they attract the right talent. Now is most definitely not the time to be talking about all of this. We get it. But next year? We’ll be ready and rearing to jump in and help solve things that you never imagined recruiters could fix. Imagine that! So let's get something booked for January.... hello@brightsidecollective.com.au

"You can be your true self here. You don't have to have a personality for work and a personality for home." If we're being honest... It doesn't always feel like this statement is real. It can often feel like we have to put on a different persona when we step into the office. We worry about conforming to expectations, fitting into molds and can often lose our individuality in the process. Let's break free from this! In a meeting with one of my teams last week, the above sentiment was shared by someone who has been with Raising Cane's for 5+ years. The statement was so impactful to me! At Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, we want you to be yourself here. We want you to bring your unique perspectives, experiences and ideas to the table. The differences that we all have are what make us strong and valuable assets to a team and organization. If you are looking for a place you can call home where you can be yourself, check out the opportunities we have at https://lnkd.in/g5e5xgU9 We want to meet you! #raisingcanes #werehiring #imhiring #chickenfingers #beyourself #recruiting #jobs #rockstarrecruiting

Great opportunity to lead in one of the most interesting and impactive departments in Government.

Puzzled about hiring in the North East? Reggie is. Reggie’s a lovely dog but he’s not the sharpest tool in the box. He’s tried everything he can think of to solve this rubix cube but nothing seems to work. Don’t be like Reggie. Think outside of the box and look at your company culture, benefits and working environment. Get involved in local community events and initiatives. Use social media to get your name out there in the area. Follow these tips or reach out to discuss more ways of hiring in the North East. And Reggie? Well he’s still trying to figure it out. But don’t be like Reggie. #northeast #hiring #newcastle #sunderland #teesside #recruitment

I've been seeing a ton of ready-to-work tags on many of my former T-Mobile colleagues saddly. I think with news that's surfaced recently, the thing that's more sad is the number of them that choose to apply to internal postings even though they don't really want the role. A company chose to lay these folks off, and then almost simultaneously offer a divided to their shareholders. To me, personally, I chose to find something better. Something outside of an industry I was comfortable with, but where I could be VALUED. Somewhere where they would never prioritize shareholders over a long-tenured hard-working employee like me (The reason I chose to work for a non-publicly traded mutual company). I just want to tell you guys a couple things. 1) Your loyalty and hard work should be reciprocal. 2) You are worth more and can do better. 3) Moving to other industries and companies is scary.. but the world is FULL of opportunities. 4) Don't fall into the "devil you know" fallacy. 5) There are people (LIKE ME) who would LOVE to help you find value here at NYL, or somewhere else!

South Carolina’s Second Chance initiative not only helps create a pathway to employment for returning citizens, it provides employers with a larger pool of skilled workers, as well as hiring incentives, making for a more robust workforce. Graniteville Specialty Fabrics is just one of our many Second Chance success stories. In 2019, the company utilized the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to hire a formerly incarcerated individual, who has since become a valuable member of the team, receiving multiple raises of the last five years of employment. In their own words, the employee is “one of our best performers.” How’s that for a win-win? Learn more about the Second Chance initiative: https://bit.ly/4aAtvQV.
