Jax 5.0 has arrived here at Jobot! OG Jax has experienced all 5 iterations of Jax the software. When asked what his thoughts are about the Jax 5.0 release, he went on to say... "Jax 5.0 brings all the great features from 1-4 and adds that 5.0 punch to it! My only suggestion would be to integrate more high protein treats!" OK, OG Jax didn't actually say that, but he is certainly hoping for more treats (: #recruiting #recruitment #staffing #changinglives

Staffing firms are employers. They employ thousands for companies and handle payroll, insurance, and much more becoming the "employer of record". Staffing firms post jobs. Also...Recruiting firms do staffing. Staffing firms do Recruiting. Staffing firms and Recruiting firms post jobs and that includes on organic job feeds. Even if those hires only account for 5-10% of the hires, those job posts are important. In Florida alone, On average, 1M+ temporary workers are employed weekly by staffing firms in Florida. They deserve to post organic jobs too. If there are not enough results from the organic free job post, we, the staffing firm (we the employer) sponsor the jobs and spend money. This is not about what a Recruiting firm should or should not do, and how posting jobs is only for the weak...and only the strong recruiters hunt and poach directly...again not my point here, and that is a separate topic. This is about the idea that job posts are a part of the hiring process for everyone who hires directly and staffing/recruiting firms hire directly and in many cases are the employer of record and they should be treated like an employer as well and have the same access to post basic jobs for free on the organic job feeds across America....Linkedin, Indeed, etc.

Candidates and Hiring Manager: The Job Market is Hot! (And Competitive) Yes, the job market is competitive, but that means the best talent is also in demand. I have continued to see companies across all industries continue to put an emphasis on outbound sales, and go to market expansion in 2024 in preparing for 2025! Hiring managers: Clearly define what you need on your team, and don’t drag your feet. Top candidates are gone before you know it! If you have "the one" always be ready to pull the trigger! And candidates: now’s your time—don’t settle. Find a role that you can see yourself building a future with. #JobMarket #HiringTips #TopTalent

Today marks 3 months since I came back to Conifer as an internal recruiter. 🎉 When I was a super green 3rd party RPO recruiter for Conifer, I celebrated processing 100 offers by 6 months. Since coming back I have been able to process over 100 offers in half the time! Without the tenure and experience with Conifer, there would have been much more of a learning curve. This is why tenure is important not only to empolyers but also to YOU as the empolyee. Your intial metrics only improve as you become more familar and efficent with your company. 👏 #Conifer #Recruiter #Growth #Tenure #Metrics #Improvement #EveryoneStartsSomewhere
