This week many of my clients kept asking the same question – and it had nothing to do with hardware or social media – At least not directly…

Do I know anyone that’s looking for a job??

Over the last 9 months there has been a solid uptick in business.

If you’re like most you have been paying employees over time and pushing them as hard as they can go…

That can only last so long… it leads to burn out and unhappy employees…

With our “busy” time right around the corner, now is the time to get things in place for fall…

Even though most have made it through the downturn by adding machinery, they still need good people…

It seems like finding quality employees is one of the biggest challenges our industry faces…

Is it a Northeast thing??

I know I’m supposed to solve your problems, not give you new ones…

What’s the answer??  Well maybe being involved with social media can help?

Maybe you can save some time during the interview process by researching your candidates on LinkedIn…

Can’t find them on LinkedIn try Googling them…   You might be surprised at what you find.

Potential employees not responding to your ads??

Try posting in groups where your potential candidates might be hanging out – by the way these posts are free…

I’m not saying this is going to change your life but it’s another way that you can leverage social media…

Are you already doing this?

Have you had success?
