Holiday Hiring Decisions are Being Made

Howell/Brighton, MI - November 03, 2017 With an autumn chill in the air and the holidays not far away, Terri Greeno, an Express Employment Professionals office owner in Crystal Lake, Illinois, is spending more time focused on holiday hiring, which she expects to be as strong, or even stronger, than last year.  For market watchers, holiday hiring can be a measure of the health of the economy. But for workers, it can serve two other important purposes. First, it gives people looking for non-traditional job opportunities a chance to earn a paycheck. Second, it gives those looking for longer-term full-time work a chance to get noticed.

According to Greeno, "Our office works with a number of people who prefer seasonal work opportunities to traditional ones. Some people want to have the freedom and flexibility that seasonal work provides due to their age, child or dependent care needs, schooling, or desire to travel. It's a win-win for both parties."

For those who do want full-time work, she noted, "There are a lot of opportunities to enter the workforce during the holiday season. Many of those individuals transition into other opportunities after the holidays. If the right employment fit doesn't immediately come along for the employee but they have a strong work ethic, we're able to advocate on their behalf to find the right job.

Yvonne Rockwell, an Express office owner in Santa Clarita, California, agrees.  "Seasonal hiring is a great way for us to get people in the door of a company to meet the needs of both the client and the worker," she said. "As positions wind down at the end of the holiday season, we're able to transition that worker into another opportunity that meets their skill set."
