The Staffing Industry is in a constant state of change, embrace it. 
  
By Tom Sarach, Jr., VP Operations
 
After having spent a good deal of my adult life in the staffing business, I have come to realize that our industry is in a constant state of change.  For better or worse; we must learn to embrace the change we like and challenge that which we do not.  I'm often asked if staffing is harder today than when I began my career.
 
My fast answer is usually yes, but given a few minutes to reflect, the real truth is not as one would expect.  It is not really harder, just different.  Sure there are many additional aspects of staffing that we must keep educated on; there is the government, the economy, technology, and generational differences of the candidate pool.  While all these facets require our attention we may find ourselves losing sight of the fact that we are still and remain in the people business.
