Believe it or not, this is actually a great time to bring on new employees.
What a wild ride 2020 has been! There has been a lot going on this year, and we at Labor Solutions understand that almost everyone is under some kind of stress lately. Many people have lost jobs or been at least temporarily out of work, and there are a lot of companies who have been negatively impacted by the events of this year. If you are the hiring manager at your company, you may be uncertain how to proceed with bringing on new staff during such uncertain times. Labor Solutions has some suggestions for you.
People Need to Work
Just because the world is in chaos that doesn’t mean that our lives and businesses have to grind to a halt. We need our livelihoods. Since the State of Florida has officially reopened, many businesses will be in need of more employees as they return to relatively normal operations.
If your company is one of the many that will be hiring in the coming weeks and months, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, unemployment is high right now, and there are a lot of people in part-time positions that would prefer to be working full time. That’s good news for employers. You can potentially recruit some of the best talent on the market.
Secondly, even though the state has recommenced “normal” business operations, the coronavirus pandemic has not ended. A lot of people are still being very cautious. Plan to conduct interviews online and limit the amount of time you spend in face-to-face meetings with job candidates. Some individuals may have health conditions that require them to take extra precautions to protect their well-being, and it’s important to respect that.
