Want to stay up-to-date on recruitment trends and news without the hassle? Welcome to the Recruitment News Roundup, a curation of notable reports, blogs, and news updates relevant to recruitment agencies. Here are some top highlights from our previous <\/span>roundup here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Gig workers say they would take a full time-job if offered the right benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Much has been written about the impact of the gig economy and online talent platforms on the recruitment industry. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for agencies? The jury’s still out<\/a>. One of the main reasons the gig economy is cited as a threat is that it may be pulling away workers from the candidate pool. A recent study by MetLife suggests that many gig workers are more than willing to consider full-time work. Forty-three percent of gig workers say employers can offer better benefits to attract them to take a full-time job.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday, almost 30 million Americans get their primary income from gig or part-time work, constituting nearly a fifth of the total workforce. An additional 15 million workers supplement \u201ctraditional\u201d full-time work with \u201cgigging\/ freelancing.’ This number keeps growing, as many of the best and brightest workers turn to gig for their primary employment. The gig economy offers a unique solution that meets those desires and supports employees\u2019 lives both inside and outside of work.\u201d\u2014<\/span>MetLife,<\/b> The Gig Economy: Opportunities, Challenges, and Employer Strategies<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Temps share how recruiters can do better<\/b><\/h2>\n

Staffing Industry Analysts recently surveyed 5,000 temporary workers and asked them how recruiters could improve. The good news? The vast majority of temp workers are satisfied or very satisfied with their relationship with their recruiters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That isn’t to say there’s no room for improvement. The most common feedback: recruiters shouldn’t be putting their own interest ahead of the temp worker. Two of the other top requests (more honest and better prep work) point to the same conclusion: if you want a good relationship with your temp workers, make them feel like they matter. You can find the <\/span>full report here<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c Temporary workers were asked to suggest how recruiters could serve them better. Five themes emerged from responses:
\n\u2014 Act more in the interest of recruits
\n\u2014 Do a better job preparing recruits for interview\/assignment
\n\u2014 Find better work\/more perm opportunities
\n\u2014 Improve communication
\n\u2014 Be more honest\/transparent\u201d\u2014 SIA<\/strong>, North America Temporary Worker Survey 2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
