Due to the current economic climate companies are forced to make tough decisions. We’ve seen a drastic reduction in the workforce. With the national unemployment numbers approaching record highs, the competition for limited positions has become fierce. The job seeker that is educated and organized will be the one who has the best chance of finding a new position quickly.
Layoffs have become a necessary cost savings component in ensuring a company’s financial stability. New government programs have been put into play that makes it less cost effective for companies to lay off employees. Did you know your company is saving the salary but now responsible for 65% of Cobra, plus any associated unemployment and tax expense?
Additionally, the recruiting game has changed immensely. No longer can a company strictly rely on job boards to find the right talent. The creation of Affordable Outplacement was born out of that realization.
No longer can a job seeker rely on one website to find the next opportunity. We have found that the first month of every candidate’s job search is dedicated to organizing, researching potential job leads, and creating an online identity for recruiters and potential employers to view and evaluate. We want to put all of this information at their fingertips. Candidates who have a strong online presence may have a much higher success rate than those who don’t.
