Competitive Pay Rates

With the economy shifting back to an Employee’s Market and minimum wage rising, pay rates are expected to increase by approximately 3.0% from 2014 to 2015.  As the available good labor pool is shrinking and more skilled candidates are finding jobs, employers looking to fill positions must offer more competitive pay rates and benefits when hiring. 

CEOs are also facing the growing concern of how to retain their valuable staff members through the upcoming year.  In order to remain competitive, companies will have to focus their attention on both current and prospective employee salaries.

Employers may soon discover that partnering with a staffing firm, such as Peoples Choice Staffing, is the key to navigating the market shift.  PCS is not only a great resource for in-depth knowledge of the current trends, but its services are proven to save you time and money in your search for candidates that not only match the desired skill sets, but also align with your company culture.

The Cost of a Bad Hire

"The biggest category of mistakes is in hiring," says Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos.com). Today's leading business experts are discussing the importance of hiring decisions because a bad hire can lead to the downward spiral of a company's valuable resources and culture.

Overlooking how well a potential employee will fit into your company's environment in order to meet your immediate needs can quickly backfire. A bad hire can cost millions of dollars; use this Bad Hire Calculator to estimate the damage to your bottom line.

Hsieh declares that he is "willing to sacrifice the short term benefits for the long term gains." Whether or not a candidate shows excellent qualifications on paper, if they do not fit the company culture, they will be turned away.

Chris Bryant (CEO of Bryant Group) also advises to "select for value and train for function" because your employees are representing your brand.  "Invest in the gift that keeps on giving; invest in your people."
