Last year, we asked our community a series of questions about their holiday vacation plans. The results revealed some not-so-surprising similarities to what we see in the news about the difficulty many of us have with disconnecting from work while on PTO. We didn’t change the questions when we repeated the survey since we wanted…

Last month, we talked about recruiter-candidate relationships. This month, we’re diving back in but from the client side of things. Like with part one of our recruiter relationship articles, we have advice that boils down to a couple of things: communication and staying in touch! Clients who work with us as a partner rather than…

Compensation is always a hot topic. If you’ve looked at compensation news in recent years, you’ve probably seen the Gartner HR Research stat that only 32% of employees believe their pay is fair. Or Pew Research’s study from early 2023 that revealed that a mere 34% would call themselves extremely or very satisfied with their…

Following the interest in part 1 of our State of In-Person/Hybrid/Remote Work survey, we designed part 2. We found some interesting trends in part 1, and part 2 did not disappoint.  This time around, we wanted to hear about who has updated or plans to update to their in-person office policy in 2024.

We asked our followers how they planned to spend their…
