CPGworks is an employment agency for the Construction Trades. We place professional tradespeople with construction and service companies in Western New York. We believe that many people are not in the right job, and many employers are not entirely happy with who they have as employees. We exist to help people find a job that they love and simultaneously help employers find employees that are a better fit. We get both parties to be completely honest about what they need and what they want, and thereby make better matches.
The Booms & Depressions Syndrome
Feb 25th
In the past two years in the Human Resources (HR) industry, I have observed this phenomena. When the economic wave was strong, people rode that wave with confidence and insouciance. But when that wave crashed and the economic scene no longer fueled it, people became worried about security. This sounds terribly kindergarten level in terms of an analysis, but nevertheless it needs to be said. Recruiters and HR people such as myself, watched a cultural meltdown take place last year, in the faces of people walking into our office. We didn’t have to look at a single statistic or listen to CNN or any local station to know the nuances of the job market. People walking through our doors revealed the zeitgeist of society in just a few brief moments with them. Their anxiety, their concern for job security – was enough to tell us what then followed. I observed countless many top level executive and industrial men and women of every field who could not now find a job – whereas months before – the jobs were there.
