The HotGigs and HireAbility partnership includes joint marketing campaigns, special promotions and enhanced recruiting opportunities for employers.

Capture More "Low Hanging Fruit" with HireAbility's New Back-Office for Gray-Collar Business Opportunities

by Craig Silverman

Do you ever wonder how much revenue you could generate in your best accounts if only you could place temps and contractors in the "Gray Collar" space? Do you ever wonder how much money you are "leaving on the table?"

"Gray-collar" is one of those untapped niches usually reserved for larger staffing companies with "national vendor agreements" and an onsite presence. Usually defined to cover light industrial, clerical, and other high turnover positions, gray-collar business can be extremely lucrative to recruiting agents, even those that do not typically provide these services.

Hireability now offers W2 Employer of Record services including payroll funding, to white-, gray- and blue- collar markets through a partnership with Innovative (See press release). Most, if not all client companies have needs that fall under the heading of gray-collar and those needs require little sign-off, get filled quickly, and when filled well, earn the loyalty and respect of client companies that win exclusive long-term relationships.

Leadership Interview (part II)

 

Thoughts on Leadership

The following is Part II of a transcript of the recent interview of Craig Silverman by Celine Takatsuno for the University of San Francisco - College of Professional Studies. (Part I is in the November issue of the Recruiter News.)

(MCT) Do you find that there certain principles that guide you as you lead?

(CS): I'm a person who is always going to tell you what I think; I'm not going to beat around the bush too much.

Being balanced between work and play is important to me - I'm not all about work all the time. One of my principles is to care about people, listen to people and to get to know them.

There's a lot of opportunities that leaders have every single day to impact the course of where they're going, and sometimes it's better not to say anything, and let cards play out. Another one of my principles it to give people enough rope to get the job done and sometimes to hang themselves. I've learned when you need to tighten up and micro-manage, and the times that you really have to sit back and let people run with the ball. I've been pretty impressed over the years by people that have really surprised me by stepping up to meet a challenge. I've seen people rise to an occasion, perform well and then go up to another level and stay there.

How Miss J Spends Christmas

The Js reside in a large country mansion just North of Upper Boyleonthabum, deep in the Cotswolds, England and this is where Lady J (her actual title) returns and rests from the rigors of being a staffing Agony Aunt in these United States.

On Christmas Eve, all the relatives, including Sir Humphrey, Lady Lavinia, Fitzallen, the three Labs and all the aunts, uncles and cousins gather around the Christmas tree in the great hall and listen to the villagers sing carols. After bidding the villagers farewell, charades are played and port and stilton served. The usual family arguments arise such as who will inherit the old pile when Humphrey and Lavinia pass on to that great grouse hunting place in the sky, who will change the bucket under the leaky roof, and who will help Fortesque, the deaf, blind butler, cook the turkey. When all the arguments die down it is off to the village church for the midnight service...
