Job Openings Drop as Workers Remain Scarce

It is that time of year when so many folks beat the heat and take a vacation. At JobMatch Assessment, we see the impact as fewer people assess for jobs in July and the first part of August. This year is no exception, though it is still better than last year at the same time.

Yet we have a hard time forecasting in the current environment. Two weeks ago, we shared a couple of articles on diverging job data. Now back from vacation, I’m catching up on the employment news, and little has changed.

The Wall Street Journal reports that job openings dipped in June, yet we still have too few looking for work. The article digs into anecdotes from a few companies trying to address the needs. There is still no consensus. 

So, what do you do? We suggest you plan better. Create or improve your succession plan. It may be some time before more workers are available. Organizations aren’t expanding due to supply chain constraints but aren’t planning layoffs. 

Aptitude assessment helps you understand a person’s natural fit for all of your jobs. We recommend comparing a person’s cognitive abilities, behaviors, and interests to high-performers in the position. The more they are like high-performers, the more likely they will thrive in the role. Check out our sample PXT Select™ Multiple Positions Report.

One Assessment

Thirteen Reporting Options

Unlike other assessments, the PXT Select™ uses a single assessment you can rely upon for a host of reporting options.  This makes the assessment more valuable and affordable, since you pay only to score a person's results one time.  After that, our reporting system lets you access additional reports without charge. 

• Keep access to your data, without subscription cost.
• No charge for additional job models.
• No charge to compare a person to multiple jobs.
• No charge for personal relationship reporting.
• No charge for phone debriefs with a certified expert.

NO BRAINER!

Don't Let Remote Work Curb Sales Development

During this time, one of the most critical questions any President or CEO must face is:  “How can I build and maintain a productive sales program?”  My friend and associate, Troy “The Sales Navigator” Harrison, offers an answer through his Smooth Sailing Coaching Programs.  No professional athlete has ever achieved greatness without collaboration with an equally skilled and passionate coach. In the same way, for long-term sales force development success, coaching can be essential to achieving your goals.  Troy can help you focus and direct your efforts, streamlining product knowledge, creating fruitful lead generation, and putting the right processes and people in place.  Troy’s programs include individual, autonomous activities, like my Sales Force Audit, or my Salary Calculator, and their success is built on the group and one-on-one skills coaching. These programs have produced dramatic growth for companies all over the USA – and whether you are located in his hometown of Kansas City, or from coast to coast, he can help you.
