8 Keys to Finding and Maintaining Talent in the Gig Economy
While a ‘gig’ used to be synonymous with musicians, many organizations and workers alike are now singing its praises. Known as the gig economy, freelance or contract jobs are the backbone for many organizations and a long-term career choice for talent. As this workforce expands – now at 35 percent of Americans according to Upwork – the question becomes how do human resources teams find and maintain gig economy talent? We’ll give you a hint: it isn’t using the same staffing strategies as for your full-time employees. Here are eight tips.
The Higher Cost of Hiring the Wrong Employee
An Argument for Proactivity in the Background Screening Process
Time and money are often arguments used against doing something. In our world of human resources and staffing, we help set the curve on those arguments and add a couple of others for good measure.

This Week in Backgrounds: HR Tech
It took me over a week to write this blog, I was a bit overwhelmed by what I saw at last week’s HR Tech conference in Las Vegas and I wanted to let it all sink in. This conference has gotten so big and, in many ways, so much better than other conferences for background screeners. I remember going to my first HR Tech conference in Chicago so many years ago, there were only a few rows of booths and maybe a few hundred people at most. Last week, if I had to guess there were over ten thousand people and an exhibit hall that was as large as any other conference I’ve been to in the past 20 years. From a screening perspective I can’t say that all our customers were there, but if you didn’t attend you missed out on a huge networking opportunity. Technology and innovation are the future of the industry. If you are sitting on the sidelines and waiting, now would be a good time to get on the bus, or maybe a fast car because you have a lot of catching up to do.
