This week’s SIA Bullhorn Indicator shows sequential improvement and early signs of stabilization. Encouraging, but not a surge. Overall staffing hours remain slightly below last year. Voluntary turnover is low. Clients remain cautious. In multifamily staffing, that creates a tighter operating rhythm. Fewer openings overall, but when roles do open, the cost of delay or misalignment is higher. Speed and precision matter. On the screening and compliance side, uncertainty tends to increase scrutiny. Fraud risk, policy shifts, and centralized hiring models make process discipline even more critical. Different dynamics. Same theme. This isn’t a volume cycle. It’s a precision cycle. In 2026, precision will separate operators from competitors. Worth reviewing the full briefing below.  #peoplepropertypossibility #MultifamilyStaffing #PropertyManagement #TheLibertyGroup

📊 July 2025 Labor Market Update — What HR & Ops Leaders Should Know We’re halfway through the year, and the labor market continues to send mixed signals. Here's what’s happening nationally and locally: 🔹 Job growth is slowing — June added just 206,000 jobs, down from earlier in the year. 🔹 Unemployment ticked up to 4.1%, the highest in over two years. 🔹 Wage growth has plateaued, especially in light industrial sectors. 🔹 Labor force participation is dropping among 20–34-year-olds — a key demo for warehouse and manufacturing roles. 🔹 Quit rates are down, but so is urgency to accept jobs, especially for second and third shift positions. In the DFW area, we’re still seeing: ✅ Increased demand for forklift drivers, machine operators, and general labor ✅ Long lead times to fill roles — especially in high-turnover environments ✅ Candidates prioritizing stability, schedules, and onboarding experience over wage alone 📌 What this means for staffing & recruiting: Expect longer fill times unless you’re proactively pipelining Focus on job quality and onboarding clarity to boost retention Start planning Q4 labor now — peak season will collide with economic uncertainty I’ll continue sharing updates like this to help HR and Ops leaders navigate what’s coming — not just react to what’s already happened. #LaborMarket #HiringTrends #StaffingInsights #RecruitingStrategy #HRLeadership #ManufacturingJobs #DFWWorkforce #TotalTalentResources

Helping clients and tech talent stay competitive by connecting in-demand skills to measurable business outcomes. 👉 Read more: https://bit.ly/3N5oc5a #TechTalent #FutureOfWork #AI #Upskilling #Experis

As we approach the end of Q1 in 2026, the staffing landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace. At Adecco, we’re seeing several clear trends across Rockland County, the broader U.S. market, and globally. 📊 What We’re Seeing in the Market Companies are continuing to balance flexibility, cost efficiency, and access to specialized talent. As a result, demand remains strong across several staffing models: • Short-Term Contract Roles: Organizations are using short-term talent solutions to manage project-based workloads, seasonal demand, and operational gaps—especially as hiring activity begins to increase with the end of the harsh East Coast winter. • Long-Term Contract & Temp-to-Perm: Many employers are taking a “try before you hire” approach. Long-term contract and temp-to-perm opportunities allow companies to evaluate skills, culture fit, and performance before making a permanent commitment. • Direct Hire / Permanent Placements: While contract roles remain strong, we are also seeing continued demand for Direct Hire Services in leadership, specialized technical roles, and strategic operational positions. 💼 Functional Areas We Support At Adecco, we partner with organizations across multiple business functions, including: 🏭 Key Industries Driving Demand We continue to see strong hiring activity across sectors such as: • Light Industrial & Manufacturing • Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals • Banking & Financial Services • Retail • E-Commerce 🤖 The AI Conversation One of the most interesting conversations we’re having with clients in 2026 centers around AI-driven recruiting automation. While AI and cloud-based tools have improved efficiency, many companies are sharing a similar insight: Automated platforms alone are not producing the same consistent candidate flow or quality that a strategic recruiting partner can deliver. The human element—relationship building, candidate evaluation, and market expertise—continues to play a critical role in securing the right talent. Challenges many companies are facing: ⚠ Data security and privacy concerns ⚠ High employee turnover ⚠ Rapidly changing and complex hiring needs ⚠ Reduced candidate flow or declining candidate quality 💬 Let’s Talk Are you seeing some of these same challenges? Are you finding fewer candidates than in previous years—or candidates who aren’t meeting expectations? My team and I have tailored workforce solutions designed to help both clients and candidates navigate this competitive job market in 2026. 📞 Call our office: (845) 364-4125 📧 Email me directly: erik.conetta@adeccona.com You can also connect with our recruiter Taulant Demaj and schedule an appointment ASAP: Office Hours M-Friday 9:45am-5:45pm 📞 (845) 293-1771 📧 taulant.demaj@adeccona.com We are looking forward to connecting with you ASAP! #Staffing #HiringTrends #Recruitment #WorkforceSolutions #Adecco #TalentAcquisition #RocklandCounty #Hiring2026 #RocklandCountyJobs #OpenToWork

Recent client success story: “Working with Nicki was the turning point in my job search. After 14 years with one company, I suddenly found myself navigating a market flooded with layoffs and a lot of competition. I had worked with three other firms before finding her. The difference was immediate. Her suggestions were built around me specifically, not pulled from a template. The moment I applied her suggested edits to my own LinkedIn profile and saw how differently my experience read, I knew she actually understood my background and what I brought to any organization. Her premier package covered everything: a full resume redraft, specific language and positioning changes she guided me to make directly to my own LinkedIn profile, role targeting strategy, interview prep, and introductions to her recruiter network. She also pushed back hard on my over-reliance on AI in the search process. She was right and adjusting that approach made a real difference. Within days of implementing her suggestions, I was hearing from recruiters regularly. Six weeks later, I accepted a role at a Fortune 500 company, exactly what I had been looking for. Nicki is the right person. I would work with her again without hesitation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​” #careercoach #resumewriter #resumewriting #jobseeker
