Today\u2019s candidates are bringing new expectations about remote work and flexibility to the job, have a heightened awareness of employer brand and dedication to corporate social responsibility, and are looking for an employee experience that offers both meaning and opportunity for growth\u2014all in a market with ample jobs available. In short, employers are scrambling to keep up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From hefty sign-on bonuses to creative perks and benefits to extra PTO, employers are sweetening the deal to get workers to join, and recognizing that\u2014from their benefits to their policies to their culture\u2014they need to put their workers first in order to secure the most driven and diverse workforce. Here at Integrity Staffing Solutions, that\u2019s a reality that has long been at the core of our company. For 25 years, we have operated as an associate-first staffing firm, with a companywide focus on the needs of the workers themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When we put our associates first, we\u2019re also putting our clients first. By taking the time to get to know associates\u2014and their skills and goals\u2014we are able to ensure that we\u2019re matching them for the right role, at the right time. While some hiring strategies involve simply funneling high volumes of applicants directly into open roles, Integrity Staffing Solutions believes in the power of being proactive: When we can do the legwork upfront to make a good match, we have found that employee engagement is higher, productivity is on track and turnover is lower.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And \u201cassociate-first\u201d is not just a slogan: From our forward-thinking benefits to a tech-fueled candidate experience, we strive to understand the needs of our associates and continually adapt to meet them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a strategy that is paying off. Our most recent Net Promoter Score was 84.5%\u2014a testament to the fact that, when we put our associates first, it\u2019s also a win for our clients. When associates are a good fit for the position and the organization, they bring their best to the job\u2014and their best helps their employer do its best.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It can be tempting in this hiring environment to put in place shiny, new benefits or creative, eye-catching programs to get workers in the door. But, if there isn\u2019t a genuine investment in the employee\u2019s satisfaction, growth and overall engagement in the job, the employer could find itself with just as many empty seats again. We have found that embedding an authentic dedication in the organizational culture to putting associates first can help drive the success that clients need\u2014and in a business environment like that of today, that can be a game-changing move.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #4aa99f;\">Your workforce, <em>simplified.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Need help finding the best talent for your roles?
