    December 2015 - America Employed Press Release: Integrity Matters Most

    COM13AEP_LandingPageHeader

    Want a Job? Integrity Matters Most

    For Third Year, Study Reveals Traits Employers Look For

    Education Ranks Last

    _____________________

    ALPHARETTA, GA DEC. 4---Express Employment Professionals today released new survey results revealing which traits are most important when considering a job candidate. The findings come from a survey of 134 Express franchisees across the nation. Respondents were asked to rate various traits on a scale of one to five based on how important they are when evaluating applicants. This is the third year Express has released findings from its “America Employed” survey on this topic. This year, “work ethic/integrity” topped the list with an average rating of 4.5, followed closely by attitude, which topped the list in 2014, with a rating of 4.47. Once again, education received the lowest rating, this time with an average of 2.44.


    “Many companies that we work with are all looking for the same thing, someone that is willing to work hard and learn new skills," said Rodney Moore, franchise owner of the Alpharetta Express office. "For someone with a good work history and willingness to learn, employers are willing to provide training and opportunities for growth. To keep the job, employees must demonstrate a high level of work ethic and integrity, and earn the chance to learn a new skill.” 

    The survey of 134 Express Employment Professionals franchisees was conducted in July 2015. Earlier surveys were conducted in 2014 and 2013.

    Express Employment Professionals explores the state of employment – and unemployment – in the United States today through a series of reports and surveys called America Employed. Each edition of America Employed focuses on a different aspect of who gets hired in America and why.

    Express Employment demonstrated growth in sales over the last three years while understanding client demands and meeting their needs. During our office visit, we witnessed and were extremely impressed by the way the Express Employment staff treated job applicants in the initial meeting.

This is already rewarding yet being recognized by the Cumming Forsyth County Chamber just reaffirms that we're making a difference", said Rodney Moore, owner of the Alpharetta Express Employment Professionals office.

    As Business of the Year, we were invited to attend an award presentation to honor Congressman Rob Woodall with the "2015 Spirit of Enterprise" Award. The US Chamber of Commerce awarded Congressman Rob Woodall for his support of pro-growth and pro-jobs policies for the 7th District of Georgia.
