Solving the Employment Paradox

As we enter the dog days of summer, economic signs point to the fact that the US economy is heating up along with the weather. Just this morning, US government figures noted that 163,000 jobs were added in July, although overall unemployment ticked up to 8.3%.  As this article states, the disparity in unemployment figures is translating into an interesting paradox: despite overall employment remaining high, professional unemployment remains under 5%, which is considered full employment by most experts. Employers, lulled into a false sense of complacency by the overall jobs report, are discovering that they can’t find the true impact players that they seek and are inundated by resumes of the chronically unemployed. Also, candidates have several more opportunities available than before and are becoming more selective. In order to solve the employment paradox, you need an organization like TRG that can help you find that ever-elusive top talent before your competition does.  So how can we put our services to work for you?
