It’s Spring and Employers Think of Hiring . . .

Despite confusing signs, it does seem that things are looking up.  It may be a little too soon to abandon all the economies that were necessary to get through the tough times, but it is the perfect time to take stock of where you are and consider your next move. If one of your economies involved staff cuts, and now you find yourself unsure whether it is time to staff to prior levels, we may be able to help you.

The Senior Employment Center works  exclusively with mature workers, many of whom are interested in part-time employment. Local businesses can take advantage of a series of small-scale job fairs that are free to employers, where you meet with a selection of our pre-screened candidates and talk about current or future positions within your company. Or you could attend one of our Business Advisory Board meetings and exchange ideas with other professionals facing the same challenges. Our employment professionals are available to help you determine how we can best serve your business needs, and there are no fees involved.  We even offer a program that fully covers an employee’s payroll costs while they are learning on the job at your company.

The mature workers we serve make capable and responsible employees. In addition to their past experience, many have taken classes to update old skills and master new ones.  Visit our website to learn more about the opportunities we offer employers.

Is the turnaround here?

A bit of good news at last!  It’s Spring, the economy is growing ever so slightly, and employers are beginning to plan how many more employees they will need and when to schedule them to start.  The Senior Employment Center (SEC) has several ways to help employers add additional workers, while keeping costs down.

The Employer-Based Training Program (EBT) provides specific skills training for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) at local employers’ sites.  Our qualified individuals are trained for specific positions and the SEC pays 100 percent of wages and fringe benefits for up to 12 weeks.  The final hiring decision is made after the trainees have demonstrated that they can successfully meet employment standards.

Other options are available through Mature Staffing Systems (MSS), also a division of Mature Services, Inc.,

·       Temporary-to-Hire allows employers an opportunity to observe applicants prior to making important final hiring decisions;

·       Temporary/Contract Employees gives employers the flexibility to utilize employees for specific short- or long-term assignments.  MSS can help you meet production deadlines, cover health leaves or complete special projects;

·       Step-Down Retirement prevents the loss of institutional knowledge by having MSS payroll your valuable retirees for special projects; and

·       Rent-a-Mentor provides retired professionals to help train, coach, and mentor clients or employees needing additional attention or services.
