The “Partner” in Our Name
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
When Helen Keller said that line as part of a stage performance, she wasn’t thinking of the workplace in 2025 – but we found her wisdom in a collection of inspirational quotes and knew it was appropriate for both businesses and job seekers today. As we relearn the importance of collaboration and community and begin to realize that some challenges are here to stay, this message reminds us that working together isn’t just good for the soul—it’s essential for success. If you believe that two heads are better than one, you’ll want a way to apply that philosophy to your hiring or your job search.
Let’s talk about how a new approach and some fresh eyes can make our area’s job market better in 2025. If you had any frustration in 2024 with properly growing your team or with finding a genuine career opportunity, maybe it’s time to bring in a partner that will help you make your workplace stronger or put you in front of an employer you need to know.
Employers: Let’s Make Hiring Efficient Again
Hiring on your own usually includes these realities: an average of 36 days to fill a job opening, and a cost of up to $15,000 (or more, depending on lost productivity, management time spent, or losing a bad hire and starting over). Employers report that while they expected it to be easier today, it’s just as challenging as it has been for the past few years to sift through resumes, schedule interviews that will show up, and find the combination of culture and skill fit needed in the office. What if you had a partner who maximized your time by:
Already knowing the best people: We’ve built a huge network of talented, pre-screened candidates, so you don’t have to spend hours searching. This means that we have met and talked with them about their abilities and interests, and we’ve administered testing that backs up (or calls out) what a resume says. We’ve also weeded out many candidates who shouldn’t be considered and would waste your time.
Moving faster than you could possibly hire: Our Certified Staffing Professionals will typically be able to put a viable candidate in front of you within 24-72 hours. Think what you could do with the additional 35 days!
Checking all the boxes: Unless you are someone whose profession is human resources, you’ll rightfully worry about stepping wrong during the employment process. Our team has the experience and the employment law and workplace knowledge to do things correctly, every time, so you’ll avoid costly mistakes.
We like to say that our staff is your virtual HR team. In a world where virtual assistants and AI are all the rage, why wouldn’t you try this form of partnership when it’s so easily available to you?
Job Seekers: Let’s Create an Algorithm and Let it Run
Job searching on your own can be exhausting. Did you know that 72% of job seekers say they’re frustrated with the lack of response to their applications? It’s no wonder—between endless applications, unanswered emails, and trying to stand out in a crowded field, it’s easy to feel at a loss. But what if you had an app running constantly that recognized any opportunity you shouldn’t miss and popped up a notification to tell you about it? That’s one way to think of how a staffing agency can benefit your job search. Here’s more about how we work, to help explain:
Exclusive content: Some of the best jobs out there aren’t posted online. We work directly with employers who trust us to fill their roles instead of doing it on their own, so you’ll hear about opportunities you wouldn’t find elsewhere.
Live people involved: We’ll sit down with you, get to know what you’re looking for, test to verify it, and only call if we think our client’s opening aligns with your skills and goals.
Someone in your corner: When we recommend you for a job, it’s not just about your resume. We’re advocating for you because we believe in what you bring to the table. When a client calls with an opening that legitimately might be right for you, this proven approach dramatically improves your odds of being the right person in the right place at the right time.
Just like an algorithm that runs when you aren’t even thinking about it, a file in the database of a staffing service that specializes in what you are seeking can be working for you even when you don’t know it.
In 2025, Don’t Do the Same Thing and Expect a Different Result
January is a time of year for resolutions, and approaching your hiring or job search differently might need to be one of those. Today’s hiring landscape is still competitive, and the biggest challenges include standing out as a candidate or finding the right fit as an employer. If we can throw out one last line – it’s about who you know. When we know your goals and can work on your behalf, we become the staffing agency to know.
Let’s collaborate!
