Advertising Costs Per Hire- Where Do You Stand?

Posted by:

While many companies track their average cost per hire, many lump all of their recruiting expenses together. Have you taken the time to see where your recruitment expenses come from? A recent study by Software Advice, highlights the average costs that simply advertising for an open position amounts to. You might be surprised to learn where you fall in comparison to other hiring managers.

    stockxpertcom_id6804961_size2

With job boards reported as being the primary advertising channel for 85% of companies, there’s no denying the impact the online advertising market has had on recruiting strategies for employers. If you are investing in online job advertisements, be sure to get the most of your investment. Creating an online job posting that attracts talent, shoud involve a combination of creative marketing, SEO value, and sales.

Do you feel like you struggle more to attract talent than some of your competitors? You might. Companies with less than 50 employees often spend more money advertising per hire than larger companies. Hiring strategies for small business often require more of a proactive rather than reactive approach. Whether your organization is small or large, the power of internal referrals is undeniable. In a 2011 survey by Jobvite, 70% of employers reported feeling that referred candidates were a better fit for company culture and company values. If your organization does not have a referral program established, now is the time to start!

While the battle for skilled talent is always present, 64% of employers reported advertising entry level positions. A combination of high volume, lower wages, and inexperience often lead employers to experience high turnover for these lower end positions. At a price of $173 per hire in advertising expenses alone, be sure that you have incorporated ways to reduce employee turnover and implemented retention programs even for your less skilled positions.

Workforce Planning 2014…Are You Prepared?

Posted by:

With 2014 only a few days away, have you completed your workforce planning? While many organizations put pencil to paper on budgets, sales projects, and business expansions; many forget how their workforce allows them to meet these goals. Don’t be one of them!

DeskTP

Entering 2014 many experts are projecting a continued shortage of talent for skilled and professional level positions, that will only continue to worsen with the attrition of the baby boomers. Protect your human capital and ensure that you have the staff in place to keep your business running smoothly in the new year. Here are a few quick tips:

·         Take roll call. Who do you have on staff that is planning to retire or may cut back to part time? Look to your current staff to see if you have the human capital to absorb these responsibilities or whether you may need to add to back fill these roles.

·         Locate your unrealized talent. We all have it. While we tend to focus on unrealized sales or potential business, sometimes we forget that we have unrealized talent already available in our organization. How can these individuals help you meet your goals for the new year? Have you met with them to ensure that they are happy and plan to stay with the organization? If not, now is the time!

·         Plan and plan again. While most organizations plan to fill future openings on their own, in today’s talent shortage that isn’t always possible. As many as 90% of companies partner with a staffing agency to help them locate talent. If this is a possibility for your organization in the upcoming year be sure to account for these costs when budget planning and begin meeting with potential recruiters before your need is to arise. Locating the right recruiter for your organization is imperative. Hiring the wrong recruiter could result in weeks of down time, unrealized sales, and missed opportunities.

Trillium is excited to be entering our 30th year of business in 2014 and is truly grateful to our over 5,000 clients nationwide that count on us to deliver them the talent they need to excel in their industries. We appreciate the opportunity to help you locate your greatest asset, your team!

Traveling Contract Workforce: A Modern Contractor's Solution

Posted by:

While temporary and contract labor have long been a part of the design of most skilled workforces, traveling contract labor has given many contractors their competitive edge in recent years. After establishing a credible resource, having a pool of traveling contract labor to provide skilled and unskilled workforce solutions for your projects in remote locations can be as easy as a phone call or email.

Construction

Attrition has been a growing battle for several industries and is a continuous battle for drivers, heavy industrial workforce, and environmental remediation staff.  Locating staff on short notice and in remote areas of the country only increases the difficulty to have a qualified and safe workforce to staff your projects. Access to a mobile workforce of skilled and unskilled labor can reduce your overhead, delays in scheduling, and allow your organization to take on additional projects above what your current workforce is able to complete.

While many contractors focus on locating a local staffing provider in areas that they do not typically do business, they may open themselves up for unnecessary liabilities and costly mistakes. Industrial and environmental contractors often require temporary staff that are trained, certified, and screened to perform specific duties in unique environments and conditions. Many staffing companies and day labor providers are unable to locate a workforce capable of these type of duties quickly. Having the wrong staff in place can often end up worse than having no staff in place. Mistakes made by unqualified help can result in costly scrap materials, overtime, and injuries. In addition to the initial costs the effects on your OSHA log, EMR rates, and overall job site moral can be long lasting. Completing due diligence to find the right provider for talent, can have a large impact on the success of your individual projects and your organization as a whole.

A company who excels in providing a mobile workforce should be able to provide you with testimonials from other clients, an outline of where they have offices and satellite branches for employee recruitment and screening, and be well versed in handling employment issues that come with a mobile workforce. Traveling workforces present their own set of challenges to an inexperienced recruiter. Inquire with potential partners on what their biggest challenges are managing a traveling workforce, what resources they make available to their staff, and how they have handled challenges in the past.

Struggling to Find Production Workers?

Posted by:

A recent study by Monster Worldwide Inc., found that as many as 47% of manufacturing workers were dissatisfied with their current job. They also found that 49% of manufacturing workers noted that there were more job openings now than a year ago. Where does that leave manufacturing employers? Struggling to attract and maintain their staff in many cases.

 stockxpertcom_id513986_size1

The increased recruiting focus on skilled trades and technical manufacturing has left many employers with a void for entry level production workers and inspectors. In addition,  with many entry level production workers being crossed trained into new roles and moving upward within the manufacturing field, vacancies are continuing to grow for machine operators, assembly workers, and general production workers. So where does that leave employers? In a constant struggle for manufacturing workers.

If you are in need of production workers, consider a partnership with an industrial staffing agency, vocational schools in your area, or career counselors. Many have access to entry level workers who are seeking an opportunity to gain full time employment, even if it is seasonal.
