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 helped increase company productivity and came up with creative ideas that pushed our company to heights that we never thought were imaginable.

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
The gig economy and its effects on the Staffing Industry
By definition, a gig economy is a work environment where a company uses technology to reach prospective employees or short-term contract workers to fill temporary positions or perform tasks that usually doesn’t take a long time to perform. Sounds weird? Well think of ridesharing app Uber and you’ll get what we mean. Aside from Uber other companies that operate within the gig economy industry include Upwork, Snagajob, Amazon Flex, Etsy and the list goes on. Upwork connects web developers and IT professionals looking for work with companies who are looking to hire for short-term projects. Snagajob is an app you can use to find anything from day labor jobs to positions with big companies. Amazon Flex is the Amazon’s version of Uber, where the company uses regular folks who own cars to make deliveries to customers who order products off their website, and Etsy is a marketplace people use to sell handmade items, vintage products, and other creative goods. There are hundreds of many more out there. If you a Smartphone then you have access to the hundreds of companies that post want ads through these apps. “The trend toward a gig economy has begun. A study by Intuit predicted that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers would be independent contractors. There are a number of forces behind the rise in short-term jobs. For one thing, in this digital age, the workforce is increasingly mobile and work can increasingly be done from anywhere, so that job and location are decoupled. That means that freelancers can select among temporary jobs and projects around the world, while employers can select the best individuals for specific projects from a larger pool than that available in any given area,” Tech Target reported. The staffing agencies were the ones who have traditionally matched these types of workers with employers. Not only did staffing agencies find people jobs they also acted as trusted professionals who provided prospective employees with guidance, training, and extensive career knowledge in their particular field. “Staffing firms typically offer free training to their candidates,” says CEO of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli. “Whether it’s brushing up on Microsoft Office applications or advice on resume preparation. We at RMG to that and much, much more!” Staffing agencies doing much much more for their candidates is what continues to separate the industry from the gig economy, and it’s the same reason why great companies continue to rely on us for exceptionally skilled workers instead of resorting to apps. In addition, agencies can help candidates through any shift in the current job market and help candidates adjust to those changes. Technology will continue to evolve and we as human beings will continue to do our best to keep up. Experts admit that the gig economy will continue to grow and evolve and we should also expect to see various levels of instability. The Staffing industry has been here since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and so in other words, we’re not going anywhere.
