Avoiding the Pitfalls: Common Compliance Mistakes IT Staffing Companies Often Make
Tuesday, October 12, 2021
It’s always best to prevent a problem before it becomes a problem, yet many IT Staffing companies do just the opposite. Sitting tight until your company faces a regulatory audit before actually taking the time to review and improve your compliance policies and procedures could prove to be problematic. Compliance is something that applies to the IT Staffing Industry, no matter what their size is. While many IT Staffing Firms should have some sort of compliance strategy mapped out, not many know how to integrate these processes and strategies to ensure profitability & operational efficiency. Though compliance planning requires a lot of time and energy to address, if not properly addressed, these compliance mistakes can cost millions of dollars. Despite their best efforts, companies frequently make the same mistakes when it comes to a thorough and effective compliance strategy. Our team of IT Staffing veterans will walk through the common mistakes they have seen and how they addressed these to ensure complete compliance.

Who Is Your Employee? Independent Contractor Classification for IT Staffing Firms
Tuesday, July 20, 2021
For some time now, classifying workers as independent contractors has been under attack by many states. While the prior administration looked to ease the burden of employers proving valid independent contractor relationships at the federal level, the new administration appears to be more in line with states that have followed the more stringent ABC Test (most prominently, California). Due to the high demand and low-supply of high-level IT professionals, consultants have a lot of leverage in dictating how they prefer to be classified (W-2 vs. independent contractor). In this webinar, we will touch on some of the many different independent contractor classification tests employers face both at the federal and state levels, provide insight on how to navigate these tests, and potential ramifications for violations.

5 Messaging Mistakes You Must Fix Today in Your Staffing Business
Thursday, May 13, 2021
The data doesn't lie: In 2021, 90% of professionals screen their phone calls and don't pick up an unknown number. Sales messaging matters more than ever before, and your team's emails are your most powerful tool to create sales and positive change in your business. A single email has the power to close a deal, get a job order, attract a passive or in-demand candidate, and increase your visibility. Good sales messaging is no longer a "nice to have" in the staffing process, it's a NON-NEGOTIABLE - the recruiting and sales process cannot start without it. Bad messaging kills your sales. Good messaging makes you money in your staffing business. In this webinar, we'll answer the question: Are you making these 5 writing mistakes in your staffing business?

Prospecting in Challenging Times
Thursday, May 06, 2021
Prospecting continues to be one of the most important ways to grow our business. Whether it is with brand new clients or existing ones, it remains a challenge that has only been exacerbated by the pandemic. Prospects have been relegated to a work from home environment that makes every day functions ever more difficult to perform. It’s hard enough to talk with managers where we already do business, so building relationships and getting “added” as a newly approved vendor is a monumental task. But it can, and is, being done. The key is maintaining a vigilant and measured approach. In this webinar, we will review some traditional methods of prospecting but more importantly, will examine some unique methods and tactics that can help improve your results to drive new business.
