RMG Staffing Says Farewell to One of Its Greats
Being a human resource manager is not an easy job. Though an HR manager is one of the first persons an employee meets upon getting hired and is usually the person who guides one through the introductory stages of employment, a great HR manager is somewhat of a hidden gem who moves around an office like blood maneuvers throughout the body, making sure each and every employee has the necessary support to perform the daily duties and responsibilities the company requires. Aside from administrative support, a good and nice HR manager will usually remind you to take your vacation time before you lose it. Former RMG Staffing HR Manager Teresa Walker has done all of the previously mentioned things and much more, she not only placed people in their positions, she placed them in their passions. She believed in changing lives and so she did to so many. Teresa had been a vital asset to the company and through her many years of service; RMG Staffing had seen tremendous growth.

In addition to her tremendous contributions to Team RMG, Teresa has a big heart and it showed during the many times RMG was asked to enlist employees to support foundations and non-profit organizations. She spearheaded RMG Staffing’s involvement in last year’s Walk to Cure Lupus. Her smile and demeanor during the event inspired other employees to not only be great workers but also greater human beings who contribute to causes. “Without a doubt, our company would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for Teresa,” President and CEO of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli says of Teresa Walker. “Within the years she was a part of our team, she showed loyalty and great dedication. She helped increase company productivity and came up with creative ideas that pushed our company to heights that we never thought were imaginable. She will surely be missed, a one-of-a-kind Human Resource Manager. We wish her success in her new journey.”

What to Do if You Are Not Called After an Interview
We all have had that moment. The experience in prepping up for a job interview, dressing in our best business attire, being nervous during the interview but giving great responses to questions. We walk out of the room with great confidence, knowing we landed the job. But once we get home, we spent the rest of the day wondering why they hadn’t immediately called us back to say, “you’re hired’. 24 hours go by and no phone call. Another day goes by, and still no call. We spent the rest of the week second guessing ourselves. Did we do enough prepping? Did we wear the right clothing? Were those responses we gave good enough? Why do some recruiters never call prospective employees back after conducting an interview? The term is called ghosting— the act of a company vanishing, going dark or pulling away at some point in the hiring process without any explanation. The word originating in the online dating world where two people discovered each other online, exchange messages and then one of them suddenly disappear without a trace. Though the job market has nothing to do with the “Catfish” like dating world, sadly, job seekers have had to deal with the same outcome. Why do some employers don’t call back after an interview? The simple answer is that you didn’t get the job and rather calling you to inform you of the sad news, some employers rather avoid an awkward situation by not calling and hoping you get the hint. A more complicated answer may be that the person who interviewed you is sick and is not reporting to work until he or she gets better. Maybe he or she got fired and the company may have decided to restart the hiring process all over again. Another reason may be that the company went out of business or the position may no longer be available due to budgeting. In any case, not being called back after an interview happens to us all and if you currently find yourself in this situation here are some advice that might be of help. 1. Send a short e-mail inquiry If you really think you were extremely qualified for the job and had performed a great interview, sending a short and sweet inquiry and asking your recruiters on rather they had chosen a candidate would mostly get you some type of reply. The rule of thumb is to wait at least a week before sending that e-mail. 2. Give them a call Wait until a week has gone by and if the company hasn’t called you after an interview, kindly give them a call. Remember always be polite during the phone call and be sure to thank them for the opportunity even if you ended up with bad news. • If e-mailing or calling the company doesn’t work and you still haven’t found out if you were selected, just realize that competition is great and you are well-qualified, there are thousand more positions available and discuss the next opportunity with your recruiter. Don’t give up. Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Call us or email your resume to apply@rmgstaffing.com
RMG Staffing Celebrates 10 Years of Providing Great Service
Time definitely flies. When RMG Staffing first started out our office was quite small. You could have counted the total number of our team with one hand. The year was 2008 and quite honestly, it was the worst year for anyone to start a business due to the financial crisis brought on by the real estate bubble of that previous year. But despite the harsh economic circumstances, Ricardo Michelangeli foresaw an opportunity to make money and also provide jobs to a city that was in desperate need of economic recovery. “People thought I was crazy,” RMG Staffing President Ricardo Michelangeli expresses about his companies early beginnings. “And it was very difficult starting out.” According to Mr. Michelangeli the atmosphere of the staffing industry in South Florida was doing as bad as the rest of the economy ten years ago. Events in Miami were few so therefore companies were not looking for staffing agencies to provide them with anything. Also, the hotels were experiencing a great number of low occupancies. Tourists continued to visit the city and its beaches but they were doing so in low volumes. But Mr. Michelangeli knew businesses were eventually going to recover, and he also knew South Florida was missing a staffing agency that operated as a boutique and yet had the networking reach as a large corporate entity. “Getting our first client wasn’t as difficult as keeping them,” Mr. Michelangeli explains. “Though we certainly knew what we were doing, growth requires learning. Problem-solving requires us to think outside the box and in doing so, you have to be honest with yourself. You have to know when to ask for help. You have to be open to making mistakes, which makes it easier to find ways to fix them. We certainly made mistakes in the beginning but because of our passion, the long hours at a small office and our resilience to provide great service to our initial clients we were able to succeed. Look at us now.” In its ten years of existence, RMG Staffing has grown from a tiny office with a small staff to a boutique agency that functions as a large corporation and has a large staff occupying a grand office space in Miami’s luxurious metropolitan Brickell neighborhood. Also, RMG Staffing’s client list has certainly exploded in growth. From small companies to large corporations, hotels hosting cute gatherings to big events, RMG Staffing has provided excellent services to various clients. “I have had the pleasure of working with RMG Staffing as our preferred vendor for over 8 years for staffing needs for our hotel as well as one of our sister properties. Everyone at RMG Staffing understands our specific culture and what we are looking for in service delivery and he or she works to fill the needs properly the first time. Our collaborative relationship makes doing business together easy and effortless,” Jeff Klein says about the company. “Working with RMG Staffing has been an enjoyable experience that I plan on continuing for many years to come.” Ten years and counting and the best is still yet to come.
