SCALE 2015: Great Hiring Resources at Your Fingertips

Every year, AppleOne publishes your Standards for Compensation And Leadership Excellence (SCALE) guide. Certainly it contains salary information, and our clients appreciate guidance based on real-world salaries as opposed to other inflated sources. However, we have always sought to go beyond a simple salary guide to bring you a resource packed with actionable ideas and information to help you achieve your management, recruiting and workforce goals.

 

This year, the SCALE is packed with valuable resources for hiring in the complex new talent marketplace — a hiring toolkit and checklist, with a worksheet for helping you determine if the time is right to grow, calculating the cost of leaving a position vacant, and much more.

 

Increased competition over the talent pool means you need to work harder to attract and keep quality people, and SCALE 2015 shows you how.

Temporary, Temp-to-Hire and Direct Hire are all excellent ways to obtain the help your business needs to thrive, so there is no best placement type. It all comes down to the specifics of your situation. The matrix below details some common situations and your Account Executive would be happy to discuss your unique needs in greater detail.

CLIENT NEEDS   Temporary     Temp-to-Hire     Direct Hire  
You need coverage for vacations,
sick time or leaves of absence.		    
You need coverage for seasonal demand peaks.    
You have a project your staff does not have
time or skill to complete.		  
You need to cover critical tasks while
recruiting to replace a key position.		  
You do not have budget approval for
a new hire yet.		  
You want to mitigate risks associated with
workers comp, liability, unemployment and
employee taxes as long as possible.		  
You prefer to staff the position as quickly as
possible, and then adjust if the person does not
perform as expected.		    
You are ramping up a department and do not yet
know how many people you will ultimately need.		    
You prefer to take your time finding exactly the
right candidate from the start so you have more
guarantees and assurance they will work out.		    
You want to recruit from the largest possible
talent pool to get the best available candidate.		    
You do not want to risk losing a great employee
to a competitor.		    
Your top candidate is employed or likely
to be employed.
