Ask The Experts 04/2012 – HS & a Tight Market

Statistics Canada released its latest Labor Survey and according to the numbers, Canada has a 7.4% unemployment rate, with Alberta at just 5%.

This is valuable information when you are looking to hire for a number of reasons.  First, a low unemployment rate means that you won’t see a pile of resumes for your job ads.  It also means that it might take you longer to fill that position and that you have to act quickly when you do find the “one”.  In a tight market like this the more likely scenario is that potential applicants are applying to numerous position and have the edge with what job they take, so being slow to make an offer might just lose you your dream hire.

This market has also made us work smarter when it comes to our Temporary Employment Services.  In a job market moving this quick, we have a “Here Today, Gone to Maui” philosophy.  Databases, temp pools and day work is a thing of the past.  Instead, we focus on quality people and promise not to just give your company a warm body, but instead provide you with a fully referenced, criminal and financial screened applicant, who is the best unemployed person for the position in this market today.

So make that person you’ve been thinking about an offer and make temporary plans for your staff’s vacations by calling Hire Standard and don’t forget…No matter the market, we are here for all of your Employment and Background Screening needs!
