A thought occurred to me last week after a meeting with one of our clients — why don’t more organizations use employee assessments ? Here at ExactHire, we use and promote the use of assessment tools for many employee issues. Among those uses are hiring, team building, succession planning and 360 degree feedback for performance reviews. Then it hit me…most people (and therefore organizations) see these tools as “tests”, not assessments.

Productivity is defined as: Doing the right thing (effectiveness). in the right way (efficiency). all the time (occupancy). The only way poor quality can happen is if you do the wrong thing, or the right thing in the wrong way, or if you don’t do the right thing in the right way all the time. It just seems such a waste if you don’t do the right thing in the right way all the time.

It’s great to stay on top of the latest staffing trends. But it’s even better to be ahead of them: to see where the labor market is going, not just where it is today. So what will the market for contingent workers look like a decade from now? And how can staffing firms prepare? I spoke with a few staffing experts and they offer these predictions for the next 10 years: Unemployment will remain high by historical standards.

It is accurate to say that Accurate Temps CEO Jaimie Rios (nee Migliore), and a brother Rob who is COO, and another brother David who is president, have been good stewards of the company their parents Debbie and Tony Migliore began back in 1978. It is also a wild understatement, given the growth the siblings have generated after taking over. The growth continues with a recent expansion of their market reach into Professional Staffing, as well as their geographical reach.

He explains for example how the web differs from the internet (note to earth: the web is not the internet, it’s software we’ve built onto the internet) and how the web may not be the best horse to bet on given that network speed is increasing much less quickly than processor and storage capability.
