Relocation Issues -- Who Will Pay?Written by Steve Hall
In light of recent unemployment figures, and a continual downturn in labor market, many unemployed professionals are finding themselves in a bind when their benefits or severance packages are depleted. It is not easy to compete with 300-600 resumes for one job. Those seeking jobs through postings on web or through a professional recruitment service must consider a new place to live as well as a new employment situation -- if they are serious about jobs they are applying for. For 14 years, Steve Hall has made a career in connecting great companies with great people in IT industry, which is famous for turnover. Job seekers and companies in post-911, post-dot.com and post-Enron business environment rely upon Hall and Find Great People (FGP) International, for worldwide recruitment services. Find Great People relocates to a new office in late October with complete with state-of-the-art equipment at 150 Executive Center Drive, B-82, Greenville, South Carolina in October. Steve Hall has been a recruiter with same company since 1989. He counseled and placed job seekers in positions through downturn of early Nineties, when another war was raging in Iraq. Despite fact that politicians and business leaders may not be calling this downturn a recession, from a recruiter’s standpoint, these are definitely tough times. “In April 2001, severity of it hit everyone around country,” said Steve. He continued, “Since April 2001, it’s like being buried in mud. You have rises and falls. For a month or two there is hiring, like flame is lit – then suddenly it drops back. This all weighs heavily on minds of those in labor force.”Some professions, like health care, seem to be booming. But others, like IT, are on a long swing down. Job seekers are looking for an edge to be more competitive. Steve Hall believes relocation issues may be one key to unlocking corporate mentality behind hiring in these times. “Differentiating factors between likely candidates for a job are important,” says Mr Hall. “Does person have a two year or four year degree or a Master’s Degree? Is potential candidate located within reasonable proximity, or will he/she have to relocate – and at whose expense? In addition, what are costs of bringing someone in for an interview?"
