• Industry Struggles to Fill Jobs

  August 7, 2012

  Even with the unemployment rate hovering around 8.3 percent, there are still industries with thousands of open positions that people are unable or unwilling to fill. Take the American commercial trucking industry. Open job postings around the country stay unfilled for months due to a lack of candidates. Many who would take the job are put off by the high cost of a commercial driving licence while the ones who could take the job are overlooked by poorly directed recruiting. What this means is that these businesses are looking to small pools of potential employees while much larger groups exist elsewhere in the country. At Accolo, we utilize a combination of our network of experienced recruiters as well as our Cloud Recruiting software to gaps like this between qualified candidates and employers. Read on to see the Wanted Analytics report on this trend.

• Good News for Hiring: 163,000 Jobs Added in July

  August 6, 2012

  According to the Unites States Bureau of Labor Statistics, 163,000 jobs were added to the private sector in July. Though this undoubtedly good news, the sudden surge in hiring near the end of July was not enough to offset the unemployment rate significantly. We at Accolo want to stress that there are jobs out there and that the United States’s high rate of unemployment is due, in part, to a hiring problem, that is a failure of communication and networking between companies and prospective workers. Our company has set a goal of filling one million positions in 2013 and economic growth like that in this past month is a heartening sign for the completion of this goal. The link below is an article in the Wall Street Journal and details more specifically the state of hiring and the economy in general.

• Career Building Through Positive Thinking

  August 3, 2012

  While self-awareness is crucial to success in business, and interactions in general, too much self-conscious thought (especially negative) is a time and energy consuming mental habit. The next time you’re stuck on the treadmill of self doubt, be it in traffic or actually on the treadmill, consider the fact that having a positive outlook on your life can actually help to improve it. Though this may seem like an idea that has been thoroughly beaten to death by platitudes and motivational speakers, positive thinking will give you an actual neuro-chemical advantage over consistently negative thinkers. Simply put: your brain will work better.

  Read on and see how positive thinking can improve both your career and the rest of your life.

Following the meeting, the President will deliver remarks to a group that will include leaders from the government and the private sector that are taking steps to encourage companies to insource and invest in America.
