The Math is Clear: You Need SkillsetGroup as a Staffing Partner

There has literally never been a better time to partner with SkillsetGroup staffing and consulting firm; just do the math.

Here at SkillsetGroup, we’re doing labor market research constantly to make sure we’re getting the best value for our clients and the best kind of pay and benefits for our candidates that we know will keep them happy for the long-term.

And summer 2022 is the most difficult time in recent history to find the right candidates for your open positions – there are half as many workers available as the US economy needs, and employment costs have been rising steadily since last year.

The total number of unemployed people in the U.S. is the lowest it's been since the year 2000. This is great for people who have a job and can be good news for the economy as a whole, but the tight-as-a-drum labor market can make running a business nearly impossible.

The problems firms experience recruiting in-house during these unprecedented upheavals have already started causing some to shutter their operations.

When most people who need a job have one, it's usually great news for the general public. Today, however, the problems in the labor market are making life harder for families.

Labor shortages, for instance, are helping drive up prices for common goods. The supply chain problems exacerbated by the shortages are also driving up costs for average people and making some vital goods and services unavailable in some markets.

The skyrocketing number of job openings that started nationwide in May of 2021 started slowing slightly in March 2022.

But there were still more than 11 million open positions across the US in May 2022, the most recent numbers available as of late July when this article was published.

Education and healthcare services, as well as business services are two sectors that seem to be struggling most to find and retain talented employees. This is where SkillsetGroup can help companies, government agencies and nonprofits of any size make up the difference, especially in the business services sector.

Our highly trained and experienced recruiters in our Administrative, Accounting, and Finance division are pros at finding rare talent to fit your needs.

As expected when supply so drastically outstrips demand in a market, the cost of hiring and supporting a labor force at any given company has risen drastically, year-over-year, since 2021.

At SkillsetGroup, in addition to our industry-topping recruitment teams, we offer a fully-customizable suite of HR services, such as onboarding, payroll, safety inspections, claims service, OSHA consulting and other workforce solutions.

Companies who outsource these functions to SkillsetGroup typically save loads of money compared with supporting these functions in-house, driving down your cost of employment for your entire workforce.

Businesses across the US are doing the same math we just did in this article.

More than 64 percent of staffing firms in the US experienced growth over 10% in 2021.

The executives across the economy who are partnering with staffing firms for recruitment will see more profit and increased recruiting across industries compared with their counterparts who handle these functions in-house.

Now more than ever your company needs a dedicated recruiting team and staffing partner like SkillsetGroup in your corner.
