by on Sep.30, 2010, under employment, Hiring, HR, Human Resources, interview, interviewing applicants, outsourcing, Small Businesses, Talent Acquistion

It’s usually very clear why a company would invest in hiring an excellent law or accounting firm to represent their interests.  These two industries offer services that save their clients countless amounts of money annually. Business owners easily see the intrinsic value of investing in these firms, yet often have a hard time seeing the benefits of investing in their company’s human resources.

Recruitment Services: Attract Better Talent

It is necessary for a firm to identify the skill set that they are seeking in a potential employee in order to target their search appropriately.  An empowered Human Resources team is able to clearly identify their firm’s hiring needs and is less limited in the tools available when seeking out the best ways to fill those positions.  In the long run, better hiring practices will bring better employees.

Employee/Labor Relations: Minimize Employee Turnover

Maintaining high levels of job satisfaction amongst staff is the key to keeping long-term employees, especially in this tumultuous economy.  By investing in Human Resources, companies are able to stay on the leading edge of benefits; employees can trust that their employer cares about their health and happiness, adding to their overall opinion of their workplace.

Human Resources Management: Increase Productivity

By identifying and targeting productivity goals, firms are able to set realistic expectations for growth and monitor progress over time.  Additionally, maintaining long-term staff allows for growth and development within a position, allowing employees to bring more beneficial skill sets to the table and positively impact their work environment.

By putting these ideas into practice with Human Resources Outsourcing, companies are able to focus directly on the task at hand and become more productive and thus, more profitable. What would your company be capable of accomplishing if you streamlined your operations through HR Outsourcing?

Outsourcing IT: Keeping up with Advancement in Technology

by on Sep.28, 2010, under Human Resources, outsourcing, Talent Acquistion

Companies are finding that information management is evolving at a pace difficult to keep up with. Left with the challenge of filling and maintaining special skills positions that require savvy, businesses are looking for employees who are up to date on all of the latest advances in information technologies.

By utilizing some of the many outsourcing solutions available to them, companies are finding more sophisticated ways to make sure they have the human resource capabilities to process complex business transactions and information. With these advancements in Human Resources Outsourcing, they gain a competitive advantage that allows them the flexibility to expand their businesses by venturing into new fields and raise the level of competency in their present ones with little to no effort on their part.

Technology is responsible for greatly enhancing many industries including healthcare, education, transportation, engineering and manufacturing. Finding employees who have the knowledge to support current and developing technologies is vital for companies to effectively compete in today’s marketplace.

In the past, companies had to rely on in-house IT capabilities and were burdened with the responsibility of recruiting, training and managing their own teams of specialists to operate and maintain information systems.

Today there are other viable solutions to meet the challenges of finding talented employees who posses the skills to operate and maintain these complex information systems. Outsourcing IT is one way to meet this challenge.

Primary Benefits of Outsourcing IT:

• Organizations gain access to flexible infrastructure.
• Organizations achieve higher standards and levels of service.

IT Functions Most Commonly Outsourced:

• Data Entry
• Application Development
• Data Center Operations
• Network Management

As companies are increasingly reliant on IT to conduct business the price tag of recruiting, training, managing and developing capable employees has exploded, not to mention the long-term continuing education these employees need to stay at the top of their game. This is why businesses are choosing to transfer IT assets, employee leasing, HR Management, HR consulting and other HR services to a professional employment organization that will deliver cost reduction without losing ground to the competition.

Human Resources Outsourcing VS. Job Fairs: How Are Companies Finding Talent?

by on Sep.28, 2010, under employment, Hiring, HR, Human Resources, outsourcing, Talent Acquistion

Companies invest a lot of time, money and energy sending recruiters to job fairs conducted all over the world. However many employers are finding they are leaving empty handed, frustrated and without the qualified employees they were seeking.

Although job fairs are not completely unsuccessful, many companies realize that the resumes they collect at such events are far below the standards they were originally searching for. The fact remains that most employers are just not willing to settle, especially in an economy ripe with individuals seeking employment.

Top Reasons Why Job Fairs Fail to Find Talent:

• Low Caliber of Attendees
• Poor Turnout
• Disorganization
• Lack of Strong Candidates
• Insufficient Promotional Efforts

The failure of companies to effectively find strong candidates at job fairs is one of the major reasons they are turning to professional employment organizations as an alternative. By utilizing the staffing and recruiting services of human resourcing outsourcing specialists companies are finding talented employees when they need them. A PEO will provide the expertise to handle recruiting, pre-screening, position placement, training and even HR management.

Top Reasons Why Human Resources Outsourcing Works To Find Talent:

• Large Inventory of Candidates
• Thorough Pre-Screening Procedures
• Highly Skilled
• Invaluable Referrals
• Flexibility

By choosing human resources outsourcing over a job fair for finding talented employees companies can rely on the expert recruitment services of a professional team of HR specialists to assess each candidate ensuring the right fit for employers while saving them both time and money.

The Employment Interview — Part 1

by on Jun.29, 2009, under candidates, employment, Hiring, HR, Human Resources, interview, interviewing applicants, Talent Acquistion

Most seasoned recruiters understand that there is more to an interview than a series of standardized questions.  Interviews need to be well planned with questions developed to get an understanding if the candidate has the right skill-set for the job and if they are a correct fit for the company. Additionally, the interviewer will need to be able to analyze the candidates answers without bias and come up with an ultimate decision and/or recommendation to proceed with an offer to hire….or, not.  When interviewing is conducted correctly the employment interview is a powerful tool in hiring the right person.  To read the rest of Jeff’s discussion on the Employment Interview, please click here the-employment-interview

GHRO Talent Acquisition….results? Perfect Match!

by on Apr.21, 2009, under Career Systems Development, CSD, GHRO, Human Resources, Talent Acquistion

To Ms. Ronnie Perez and Mrs. Nichole DeGidio:

I would like to start off my experience with a WOW!, for the entire human resources department up at the Irvine branch and the San Diego Job Corp. The fact of doing the interview with Ms. Ronnie Perez a very talented and gifted voice staff member, made my interview much easier. My comfort level was at a 100% due to the fact of me using my phone in the convenience of my home. Every call and phone meeting setup by Ms. Perez was on time as schedule by Email or Phone. The Fact that the company uses this Interview Process tells me the company spent quite a bite of money. This tells me personally, the company is interested in Good hard working Individuals and if it takes some money to be invested so be it.

The interview experience on Campus here at The San Diego Job Corp Was Excellent. Mr. Ron Dean Was very Positive, helpfull and informative of Job Corp. Mr. Dean explained in Detail What was expected of a Residential Adviser and invited me on a tour of the Campus to see how things work inside and to start experiencing that great feeling of working with the Team. Mr. Dean also explained that I would be trained by one of his peer trainers and when I felt confident of my job by my self I would be assigned a dorm. This also made me feel Good.

The training with Ms. Nina Delacruz was very informative. Ms. Nina as everybody calls Her, is a excellent asset for the family here at Job Corp. I felt I could ask her any question I wanted and there would be an accurate answer to it. She explained in detail from A to Z how Job Corp works. Snacks and drinks were offered on Orientation, a very kind gesture. I also Met Mr. Manuel from human resources, very intelligent and also a funny guy. Mr. Bobby Brown Also gave us words of wisdom and a welcome to Job Corp.

The Training process with Residential Peer Trainer Mr. Timothy Labit was excellent and explained in full detail. Mr. Labit is a very talented spokesperson that every body recognizes here at Job Corp. He is also a Good listener and a knows when to speak. Mr. Labit is always smiling and that tells me he enjoys his work as much as I do.

Bottom Line, I Just want to say Thank you Job Corp for existing and all the excellent and friendly Staff working here. I feel like A family member already.
