Employees are a company’s best asset. Agree? Staley Technologies is a company that lives this well! If you are in Arkansas, you know that we have had inclement weather the past few days. We don’t have the infrastructure to handle this kind of weather since we don’t get it often 🥶❄️ The leadership at Staley has been sending daily updates with working options to make us feel safe! Safety is a top priority here 💯 So if you want to work for a company that cares about you, check out our open positions! (See my last post for a link to our careers page) If you are a company that would like to utilize the services of a company that cares about its employees, check out our page (tagged above) for all we have to offer! And, the obligatory snow day pic with my son 🥰

🚨 Why Some Recruiters Get a Bad Rap 🚨 Recruiters play a crucial role in connecting talent with opportunities, but unfortunately, not all approach their work with the diligence it deserves. Recently, I had a rather amusing encounter with a recruiter who called me about an Overhead Crane Technician position. Now, I recruit in this field daily, but fixing cranes? That’s not exactly my forte! What irks me—and many others—is when recruiters don’t take the time to understand who they’re calling. They miss the mark because they’re not experts in the field they recruit for. Worse yet, they neglect the basics of building relationships and understanding client needs. As someone deeply passionate about this industry, I take pride in my ability to spot the right talent and understand what my clients truly seek. It’s not just about filling a position; it’s about making the right match. This recent experience reminded me why some recruiters tarnish the profession’s reputation. They fail not only their clients but also the recruiting community as a whole by being sloppy and not doing their homework. Here’s a tip for recruiters: Know your clients inside out. Do your research. Build relationships based on trust and understanding. It’s not rocket science; it’s about respect for the craft and the people you serve. Let’s elevate our profession by raising the bar. Clients deserve better, and so does the recruiting industry. #crane #Recruitment #ClientRelations #Professionalism #CareerAdvice #RecruitingTips

Sad news. The first 55 rejections have been sent for the role of "Head of operations". These were all on CV-scanning only. We're rejecting more tomorrow, and we're sorry that it took so long to assess - this is a more difficult task than we already anticipated! But let's share one insight, so you can better prepare for other applications. One thing we selected on, is the duration of the last job. When less than 1.5 years, we rejected. There were some exceptions, like somebody who stayed longer on the previous job than the current one. There were multiple reasons to filter on this. An obvious reason is that we wanted to hire somebody who would stay with us much longer than 2 years. Another one is that the really difficult problems arise after 1.5 to 2 years. So if somebody had 5 jobs of less than 2 years, and also the last one did not work, then we were not convinced that this person had solved those complex problems. We found that there was quite a group who hopped every 1-2 years for the first 4 jobs, and then stuck with one job for much longer - these all got through. Of course, we could very much be totally wrong, but that's the risk of CV-based selection. We could also have chosen to talk 30-60 minutes to all 135 applicants, which we obviously could not do. So what should you do to get through this specific filter at other companies for the same role? 1) make sure that you don't split up experience under one company too much, as this was difficult to read and maybe mistakes were made here. 2) read on the hard problems of management, and learn to love these problems. 3) stick with one company for 4 to 5 years. :) 4) don't hop too much. Or you could focus on "interim manager" and "company fixer", where such shorter times make total sense.
