A little while ago, I was speaking with a friend of mine who owns a local business.  He was amazed at how easily people were changing jobs.  The attitude was, “I don’t like this job, I’ll get another one tomorrow.”  They were right.  The economy was in overdrive and employers were at the mercy of a transient workforce wrapped up with making the biggest buck in the shortest amount of time.

Fast forward to today.  All over the news the dreaded “R” word has taken the headlines; the tables have turned.  Employers can once again afford the luxury of choosing the best candidate for the position.  As lay-offs sweep the oil industry and unemployment grows, you as a business owner are at a distinct advantage.  Qualified workers are desperate for steady employment and will do what ever it takes to keep bread on their family’s table.  The service industry especially will benefit from this as retail and restaurant (to name but two) employers will be in a position to demand higher standards from their employees and be able to generate increased revenue as a result.  This foreseeable increase in standards only bodes well for your customers as better service results in repeat business.

So, where does Sherwood Park Jobs fit into this equation?  With a rapidly growing jobseeker database, we can help get you the staff you need.  You are able to view resumes and make contact with your ideal candidates right on the site. We take the hard work out of employee searching so that you can use your time more effectively. As a nod to the economic downturn and increased financial pressure businesses are facing, we have, effective immediately, lowered the price of posting a job to make it easier for employers and jobseekers to connect with one another.

Best of luck through the spring,

John
