Gros Recruiters | Plastics & Packaging Industry
by April Miles
3y ago
Year after year, Salary & Benefits remain the two most influential factors for candidates considering a job change. Are employers paying enough to attract and retain talent? Based on MBS Advisors’ 2021 Plastics Salary Survey, 19% of respondents are either actively seeking a new job (13%) or very likely to seek a job change (6%) within the year. If you are in search of talent, potential candidates willing to relocate represent an even smaller percentage.

Are you sick of hearing the word “pandemic” yet? I know I am. It feels like it will never end. However, with the new vaccines rolling out, it appears that there may be a light at the end of that dark tunnel we have all been living in. When the world opens back up again, and eventually it will, what will it look like? Surely, things won’t completely go back to the way they were before. That includes our workplace. How will that change? I know it has already changed so much. But, what changes are temporary, and what is here to stay? Let’s think about that. I’m not a health expert, but I would b ..read more

It was brought to my attention recently that LinkedIn has started to become politicized, and now that I’m paying attention, the gradual polarization, name-calling, and insults on this professional network have begun. Is LinkedIn turning into Facebook or Twitter? Are we going to be seeing your cat memes and back to school photos next? I was still under the impression that talking about politics or religion at work or in a professional setting was a no-no, or a sensitive topic at the very least. But as these posts begin to rise, no doubt they’ll divide, and alienate half your clients, colleague ..read more

Looking for a new job during a pandemic can be extremely difficult, but not impossible. There ARE companies that are currently hiring.

When preparing for your interview, you might ask yourself some of these questions: How should I greet the interviewer if I can’t shake hands? Does the interview have to be in-person or will it be virtual? If it’s in person, will we both have to wear a mask?

First, let’s define a “bad hire.” According to CareerBuilder, a bad hire: Didn’t produce proper quality work; Had a negative attitude; Didn’t work well with others; Attendance problem; and Skills didn’t match their claims. The costs of recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, training, and employee development can be expensive, but that isn’t the only issue that can stem from a bad hire. Poor performers lower the bar for other workers, and bad habits and bad attitudes can spread causing less productivity, compromised quality of work, and lost time, which all obviously negatively impact the P&a ..read more
