By: Hollister "Right now, job seekers need to adjust their expectations and go into their job search with versatility," Hollister recently published: "How to Guide: Job Search and Market Yourself During a Recession" on the Hollister, Inc blog( http://bostonjobsblog.com/ "What our clients are really looking for right now are professionals that can add value to their organizations," Over the past two months, Hollister has experienced a substantial influx of candidates looking for jobs in Massachusetts, mainly due to the mass layoffs that are taking place within the financial services and consumer goods companies. Many of their clients are hiring contractors in an effort to keep productivity up and costs down. Sean McCourt, Manager of Hollister's Contract Technology Division explains that several candidates have been leaning on these contract opportunities in an effort to wait it out while receiving work, income and benefits. "It makes perfect sense, especially when you consider the benefits aspect," explains McCourt. "At Hollister, we offer all of our contractors a competitive benefits package from Blue Cross Blue Shield - the same that we offer our own employees." Though Hollister is feeling the impact of the recession through the supply and demand shift, the senior leadership team remains optimistic and focused on the opportunities that are out there. In a down time, they feel lucky to be in a state that is so diversified by industry. "Though many companies are putting a freeze on hiring particularly within the areas of financial services and consumer goods, we are grateful to still have some activity in other industries including Technology, Clean Energy and Healthcare," # # # Where Opportunity Meets Talent www.hollisterstaff.com Hollister is a leading woman owned full-service staffing firm passionate about connecting Massachusetts' opportunity with talent.
