𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫! 🏝 As we enter the final days of spring, it's the perfect time to focus on summer recruitment. At Uplift People Consulting, we see summer as a prime opportunity for hiring, and here's why: 1) 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Many companies delay their summer recruitment efforts, which means less competition for top candidates. This gives you a unique advantage in securing the best talent without the intense competition seen during other times of the year. 2)𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Summer recruitment offers greater flexibility due to the increasing remote work trend. Potential hires may be more open to discussing roles that offer remote or hybrid working options. 3) 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Summer brings a more relaxed atmosphere and often boosts employee morale, making it an ideal time to onboard new employees and help them smoothly integrate into the company's culture. 4)𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐥: With graduation season just behind us, enthusiastic, newly qualified professionals are entering the job market. This is an excellent time to attract fresh talent and bring new perspectives and energy to your team. 𝐀𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, we are here to help you leverage these summer opportunities to build and strengthen your team.

Ever heard of the September Surge? As summer wraps up, many companies shift gears into hiring mode, a little phenomenon we call the "September Surge." It’s that time when businesses, eager to hit those end-of-year targets, start ramping up their recruitment efforts, filling open roles, and gearing up for a strong Q4 finish. For HR professionals, this season is equal parts exciting and overwhelming. It’s like the hiring version of crunch time! We’re balancing posting new roles, sifting through resumes, interviewing candidates, and onboarding. All while managing the regular demands of the HR world. The pressure is real, but so is the opportunity to make a big impact with every new hire. It’s a time of hustle, strategy, and sometimes, a little bit of chaos! We’d love to hear your experiences! How do you navigate this busy season? Drop your thoughts below, and let’s chat about your tips for staying ahead during the surge! #septembersurge #september #SavvyHRPartner #BeHRSavvy #career #job #HR #humanresources #corporate #internship #worklife #employees #workplace

One of our College Interns Cassidy Gays offered this quote up this morning! It made me smile because this sentiment is so timely ! As we work with Business Founders, CEO's, and Presidents every single day - the one thing we hear is constant : OUR BUSINESS IS SEEKING EMPLOYEES WHO ARE PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER CENTRIC! - Pure and simple . Searching for Executives who genuinely CARE about their work is what we seek. Not the candidate who : Looks to work remotely, cares more about PTO than actual time making a quantifiable contribution , indicates they don't want to roll their sleeves up ...and so on ! We are faced with a "complacency " that has become a "pandemic" in the work force. HOWEVER, change is coming.... Our work force is BEGINNING to care ...again. Clients - if you are seeking a Talent Acquisition outside service who can navigate WHO CARES..let's talk . Candidates - searching for a company who cares that you care... let's talk. #Care #Executivesearch Hope Brick

Job listings these days: ‘3+ years of experience required’ – and then offer a salary of 10,000 to 15,000? Like, are you hiring an experienced professional or an intern?

It’s not about being picky; it’s about being practical – we’re here for a job, not just to fill up a job title! #honestreview #jobposting #hiring #hiringpost #professionallevel #internhiring #salaryrange #lowsalaryrange #Hr

This is why we prefer to hire people during the summer period: Summer is often seen as a slow period, but it's actually a great time to focus on hiring. Here’s why: 1. Less Projects = Less Distraction: With fewer projects on the go, you can dedicate more time and resources to finding the right talent. 2. Targeting Candidates Seeking Change: Many professionals look for new opportunities during the summer, making it the perfect time to attract those ready for a change. 3. Reduced Competition: While other companies might slow down their hiring, you can take advantage of the reduced competition to secure top talent. 4. Faster Hiring Process: With a quieter schedule, your hiring process can be more streamlined and efficient. 5. Time Management: Summer offers the chance to balance hiring needs with upcoming business goals, setting your team up for success in the busy months ahead. Make the most of the summer and build a stronger team! #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #SummerRecruitment #HR #BusinessGrowth #TimeManagement

How do you get started in HR? The Human Resources field has different starting points, even if you have gained experience through internships or temp positions, and those opportunities have helped you build a resume and demonstrate transferable skills. Still, you'll need to know your options and match the one that best resonates with you. For example, if you don't enjoy talking to people or helping them resolve conflicts, roles focused on employee relations might not suit you. On the other hand, if you excel at data analysis and enjoy working with numbers, positions in compensation or benefits could be a perfect match. Each role provides unique responsibilities and valuable experience to launch your HR journey. ⭐ Here, we summarize nine entry-level HR positions to consider, but you can learn more about each entry-level HR job in our latest blog post:  👉https://bit.ly/3W65tHO #HR #humanResources #HRpositions #HRjobs #HRcareer #HR

Off course both HR Generalists and Employee Relations Specialists roles contribute to the overall HR function, but HR generalists handle a wider variety of tasks, while employee relations specialists focus on specific areas so the perception of entry-level status may vary based on industry and company size.
