A bridge worth crossing...

As you are aware, the unemployment rate is high which makes each employment opportunity even more challenging to obtain. As a job seeker, you can only do so much on your own. Kennmark Bullock Personnel has connections with a vast selection of companies that offer a variety of positions. So why are you limiting yourself?

The American Staffing Association wrote:
Everyone knows that there's no such thing as a truly permanent job. But most staffingemployees and most staffing clients want something staffing firms have to offer: a bridgeto permanent employment. Most staffing employees who want a permanent job get oneeventually-43% get hired by the staffing client. Nearly one-quarter of those who got apermanent job say they got it faster because of their temporary or contract work. And,particularly important for staffing clients engaged in the war for talent, less than half ofstaffing employees are actively seeking permanent employment elsewhere while working for a staffing firm-the majority are either using their temporary or contract job as their sole means for finding a permanent job, or they simply prefer temporary or contractwork.

In other words, staffing firms provide the only way to access some of the besttalent America has to offer. Moreover, staffing firms develop talent. Nearly 90% of staffing employees say their temporary or contract work experience made them more employable, mostly by developing new or improved skills and receiving on-the-job experience; 20% attributed their enhanced skill levels to specific training provided by their staffing firm. A majority said the work strengthened their resumes, and four in 10 said the experience helped them gain self-confidence and improve their work habits.
