No Comments
As the old model of lifelong employment continues to unravel and evolve, it’s no longer good enough to assume an employee will jump in, learn the ropes, and settle down into a being a long-term, loyal, employee. Much as it was, employers that started to change the rules of employment to suit the ebb and flow of economic trends, employees have in turn began to think of themselves as independent operators. No matter how committed to a cause they are, they now need to look out for their own wellbeing first and foremost.

We’ve heard it all, and we understand where it comes from. We even realize there are going to be individuals that just aren’t ready to believe us when we say that we’re a different sort of recruiter. After all, that’s what all the recruitment agencies say. So give us a few minutes to convince you otherwise.

- January 15, 2019
- Posted by: LRO Staffing
- Category: Employee Management, Hiring
The days of the golden-watch-retirement, having spent an entire career at one company, are obsolete. That being said, there remains few who still spend their whole career at one company, but it tends to become rarer as you move away from government employment, which in itself is no longer immune to losing their best and brightest to new opportunities. Add to that the Gig Economy and you have a workforce that is accustomed to not working for one employer for very long. Of course, not everyone is interested in building an Airbnb empire or managing a fleet of Ubers, but the concept of working for yourself at all times has permeated our culture as a whole.

The Costs of Your Hiring Process Taking Too Long

- Category: Hiring, Ottawa
It’s funny that in a world where absolutely everything seems to be speeding up, the hiring process in most organizations seems stuck in the mud. Or, at least, it would be funny if it didn’t cost so many organizations mass amounts of resources and almost more importantly huge opportunity costs as they continually lose the best candidates to other companies or worse competitors.
We understand, more than most, the need to get the hiring process right. The need to ensure you get the best person for the job. The desire not to expend huge dollars bringing someone on, only to have them turn around and leave in short order putting you back where you began. However, what the studies are finding, is that all this hand wringing and delay is ultimately costing you so much more.
