Per a report from global outplacement and business and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. in the first quarter of 2024, 2.4% of all job seekers relocated for new positions, and 3.7% of job seekers making over $200,000 moved for new jobs. The 2.4% relocation rate remains historically low, according to Challenger’s Quarterly Index. It is the third lowest quarterly rate on record, behind Q4 2023 and Q1 2023 (1.6%). Our clients often tell us that they’re willing to relocate candidates for a given position, especially if the role is mid to senior level. This then begins the conversation surrounding what does relocation mean today? https://lnkd.in/gyEfmAxe

When we are asked to conduct a search for a client partner, we're often tasked with finding a candidate currently performing the same role and responsibility, sometimes from a direct competitor. A "plug and play" candidate. In this article, we share our insight and advice to successfully recruit a candidate and what it will require for them to accept an offer for a lateral move. #lighting #lightingdesigners #wireandcable #tools #powerdistribution #automation #industrialautomation #electricalindustry #electricaldistribution #electricaldistributors #recruitment #recruiting #executivesearch #careers #hiring #lightingrecruiters #wirerecruiters #wireandcablerecruiters #powerrecruiters #powerdistributionrecruiters #automationrecruiters #industrialautomationrecruiters #buildingautomationrecruiters #renewablesrecruiters #electricaldistributorrecruiters #headhunters #lightingcontrols #iot #iiot #cybersecurity #it #cybersecurityrecruiters #itrecruiters #softwarerecruiters #lightingdistributors #automationdistributors #wiredistributors #wireandcabledistributors #powerdistributors #wire #cable #wireandcable #tools #switchgear #transformers #powertransformers #panelboards #switchboards #circuitbreakers #lightingcontrols #sensors #lightingsensors #led #electricalrepfirms #electricalrepagencies #electricalreps https://lnkd.in/g4QRvHT5

“Time kills all deals”, and it’s certainly true in recruiting. If your company takes days (or even weeks) to make an offer to a candidate, you’re sending a potential employee the wrong message; reflecting poorly on your company, before they even start. https://lnkd.in/gZ7t-H2b

"For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue." –James A. Garfield A hero is someone who has dedicated their life to a more significant cause than themselves. This Memorial Day we reflect, remember, and honor our ultimate heroes - the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives so that we may enjoy our blessed freedom.
