As the talent gap continues to grow, employers are looking to the Millennial and Gen Z populations to complete their teams. It’s estimated that by 2020, Millennials alone will make up nearly half of the workforce. In order to attract and maintain Millennials in your workforce, it’s important to understand that their values and interests vary greatly from other generations.
Considering a position through a staffing firm may be intimidating if you have never partnered with one before. What were some times formerly referred to as “temps”, used to be seen as beneath direct employees of a company. With the huge surge in staffing and contract work, the tables have significantly turned.
René Poch founder and CEO of Trillium Staffing, recently announced that Trillium had recently been recognized for several new accomplishments in 2016. Those recognitions included:
While the economy is remaining strong, many small businesses in the United States are still struggling to grow their business. One of the biggest challenges facing business leaders today, is recruiting qualified candidates.
In a recent survey conducted by Indeed with small businesses, 97% of respondents reported difficulty in hiring the right candidate at least occasionally. While even the nation’s largest employers are fighting to attract top talent, small businesses experience a different set of challenges that can increase the difficulty in recruiting, even for lesser skilled positions. A few of their challenges include:
Do you seem to be receiving calls from Recruiters at the most inopportune moments throughout your busy day? Do you ever wonder why they keep calling?
Are you looking for a competitive edge in today’s job market? With the majority of application processes being online and streamlined, many candidates are forgoing cover letters. If you are looking for a simple way to help stand out against other applicants, a cover letter may be your answer.
As a recognized leader in staffing and recruitment for more than 30 years, we know great talent when we see it. Regardless of your industry and what positions you are looking to fill, locating the best qualified talent can be difficult.
At Trillium, our people make the difference. We’ve had great success in hiring veterans for both internal and external client positions. As highly skilled and trained individuals, veterans are often eager to begin their next career in the civilian market.
“At Trillium you don’t need stripes on your sleeves or medals on your chest to get respect, it comes automatically by checking the Veteran box with a ‘yes’.”
– Tim Griffin, Regional Controller, Marine Veteran

Whether you were caught off guard completely or just finally facing the inevitable, if a strong producing member of your team just gave notice your mind is likely reeling. Before emotions play a role in your response, it’s important to consider the long term effects of producing a counter offer.
More often than not, the employee is not leaving their position strictly based on pay.
Considering that salary doesn’t even make most lists for the top 10 reasons employees quit, it shouldn’t be the first band aid you seek. In fact, in many cases the repercussions of presenting a counter offer can cause further detriment to your team. Here are just a few reasons why:
Results show that a staggering 90% of employees who accept a counter offer, leave the organization within one year.
Undoubtedly, there is a better solution. Consider a thorough exit interview process. The exit interview process should be far more than having the employee complete a survey. The results should be tracked by department, by category, and a team of leaders should look for common trends and solutions. Using this information wisely can significantly reduce your turnover as an organization.
