The Human Resource: January 2011
http://steffanco.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 5, 2011. It's a Whole New Employment World Out There. Well, we all survived 2008, 2009 and 2010 and I for one am so thrilled it is 2011. The average unemployment rate in the DC metropolitan area is 4%, with a national average at just under 10% which means that much fewer people are looking for jobs or are available to work for certain jobs. It is again a great time to look for a new position. Steffan and Company, Incorporated. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Steffan and Company, Inc.

Friday, February 21, 2014. Why Businesses should work exclusively with one or two agencies. Exclusivity: We want it in our love lives, so why not in business. Many businesses feel the more agencies they use, the more qualified candidates they see. FALSE. You have agencies submitting the same candidate and rushing to get you the resume when they have not even spoken to the person. All because as we all know whoever gets it in first, wins.
