Don't discount what you don't know.
Most of us negate possibilities out of ignorance rather than being open minded to suggestions from others.
Have you ever refused to try something because? No reason or any real justification was necessary.
Either you listened to the wrong drummer or are easily persuaded by nay sayers in the marketplace.
It's easy to understand how this happens to most of us.
Neighborhoods, car brands, food choices, doctors, restaurants, hospitals, even children are sometimes criticized by the gossip mill without supporting charges.
Some types of businesses get a bad rap because of a few "bad apples" in the group.
It's not fair to the good guys but it happens through a loose tongue or carelessness.
After 32 years in the staffing business, I can assure you there are outstanding owners in the business of putting folks to work in the marketplace.
Our firm did millions every year serving clients with staffing needs to run their business.
Primarily, a staffing service is a recruiter of talents and skills.
Potential employees are qualified through testing by your best services.
No guess work at all.
No in-between scores are ever acceptable.
Some candidates have to take refresher courses to catch up.
It's life in real terms.
Everybody seems to remember their best scores from the past but today is filled with new challenges.
The 80 wpm typist can barely hit 40 wpm on the charts.
Same goes for most office skills.
Rusty skills mean small pay or none at all.
Clients are value focused, expecting exceptional returns for their investment in new recruits for full-time positions as well as short-term assignments for temporary staff.
Some of the more progressive services have training schools to bring their recruits up to speed.
Returning to the workforce after a few years of raising children, taking care of parents or siblings, turns into a huge challenge for most employees.
Our goal was to bring them up to speed as quickly as possible so we could place them on assignment.
A very powerful training program that served us well.
Returning to work was not optional for the job candidate.
Securing their financial plan was a priority for the family to remain solvent with their obligations.
Many families require two paychecks to survive in today's marketplace.
Staffing services are able to offer flexibility not provided by most firms needing full-time staff.
Many benefits are available to employers when doing business with staffing services yet very few executives or hiring authorities understand or appreciate the service provided.
"Try before you hire" is a key benefit to employers.
Why make a 30 minute decision to hire an employee when you can interview the same candidate for a day, a week or 3 months? Just an option to consider when the opportunity arises.
Interviewing is only the first step to learn minimal information about a potential employee.
Sometimes you have to make a hiring decision or risk losing the candidate to another employer.
Flexibility in your hiring practices puts you in control of the decision.
Another benefit surfaces to the job candidate in the interviewing process.
You and your firm are also being interviewed and critiqued as a potential employer.
Both sides, the job candidate and the firm, are given flexibility in making the right decision about the job under evaluation.
Unless the match is good for both sides it's not a good choice.
So many factors are involved and best considered.
Hours, distance, location, safety, perks, benefits, dependability, trust, integrity and more.
Lots to evaluate on both sides.
Financial stability of the firm is extremely important to the job candidate.
Talents and skills, education, training, work history, ability to work with other staff is an imperative for a successful match.
Hiring a staff psychologist, part-time or as an outside consultant, makes a lot of sense unless your firm has trained personnel in human resources.
Management, owners of the firm, key executives are assigned to the interviewing process with little training in many firms, large and small.
Thousands of dollars, the future of your company depends on competent, intelligent staff, yet employee hiring decisions are made with little more thought than believing anybody in your firm is qualified as a competent hiring executive.
Nothing is more important to your success in business than your ability to employ outstanding talent.
