How Job Titles Can Help You Hire Great Talent

CorpNet

So it’s a new year, and you’re looking to hire new talent. You start off by posting a job online, but you’re not finding many candidates, at least not the great ones your company needs. How come? You may not realize this, but the job titles on your postings might be the reason.

Professionals care about the job title a company will provide them with (as well as one they’ll be proud to boast on their resumes in the new year). If you spend enough time looking at other job descriptions and titles, you’ll begin to notice a trend. There’s an increase in outside of the norm job titles. Riding this trend could help you recruit better candidates.

Founder Shield

It’s not the easiest question to answer, and in this day in age it is getting more and more difficult to get cost effective health benefits for your company.  It’s even harder if you are in the small group category. Whether it’s company size, average employee age, or overall employee health, employers are having a hard time offering benefits to their employees at an affordable rate. Offering benefits to new or current employees is a big competitive advantage across all industries, and with the increasing rise in health premiums, employers are having a tougher time offering these benefits to their employees at reasonable prices.
