Increase in Hiring to Prepare for Fourth Quarter

The past six months have been anything but predictable for companies around the globe. Many companies have been forced to reduce their staff due to the effects of COVID-19. However, with things slowly moving toward a “new normal,” many companies are ready and eager to hire while they can.

Our ITAC employees share their thoughts on the possibility of an increase in hiring to prepare for fourth quarter.

Top Talent Never Goes Out of Style

While our world continues to shift in light of an ongoing pandemic and societal upheavals, companies and the those in the workforce have to press forward. Sure, pressing forward looks a little different these days when meetings (and classrooms) are over video-conference and eating at your desk is the same thing as working at your dining room table. 

Professional Networks Are More Important Than Ever

Christy Williams, Director of Sales, answers questions about networking in our “new normal.”

Yours? Mine? Ours?

The title of “Employer” relative to temporary staffing can almost be a game of “Hot Potato” contingent upon the situation.  Clients who invite their contingent/temporary workforce to participate in company events and meetings or include them in the distribution of teamwear (sometimes considered employment perks) are undoubtedly doing so to foster a sense of team and inclusion.  Aside from these occasional scenarios, many clients are involved more-closely with their contingent team members, providing coaching and counseling, modifying work schedules to accommodate personal needs, or even addressing compensation issues.  However, when contingent workers approach clients with issues or concerns rather than their staffing firm (a.k.a., their employer), the lines can become a bit blurry.
