The data we collected helps us learn about what current employees and potential candidates would need to achieve greater job satisfaction, promote a more productive workplace, and ultimately help companies attract top talent to grow their teams.
“How far would you be willing to commute for work on a daily basis?”
Our data suggests that having to commute isn’t exactly popular among professionals. More than 60% of respondents were willing to commute 30 minutes or less – if at all. About 26% were willing to commute 30 minutes to an hour. Anything greater than 1 hour could deter candidates looking for a suitable job.

Helpful Tips: 5 Benefits of Partnering with a Specialized Staffing Agency
When it comes to maximizing recruitment, particularly in IT, EDI, ERP, or other integration technologies, it’s incredibly beneficial to partner with someone who has a pulse on the market.
Here are 5 benefits of partnering with a specialized staffing agency:?
1. Knowledgable Recruiters
Specialized staffing agencies, especially those with decades of experience placing niche talent, have a deep understanding of the evolving skills and qualifications needed for roles across IT, EDI, ERP, and integration technology fields.
2. Access to Talented Candidates
When partnering with specialized recruitment agencies, clients gain access to talent networks and relevant candidates who have the skillsets needed across IT infrastructure, EDI implementation, ERP customization, and data integration. Access to talent from niche agencies helps companies source specific talent quickly without compromising quality.
3. Time and Cost Savings
It can be time-consuming and costly to recruit for niche roles on top of regular day-to-day functions, especially when clients are not familiar with the intricacies of positions in these fields. Having a partner who does this for a living streamlines the process by reducing time-to-hire, eliminating poor-quality candidates, and minimizing expenses associated with the prolonged vacancies and inefficient process.
4. Quality Assurance
To alleviate pressure and ensure the most suitable professionals are hired, specialized agencies perform screening processes to evaluate candidates’ technical skills, experience, and cultural fit. Some may also employ other strategies like technical assessments, behavioral interviews, and reference checks to ensure candidates not only possess the requisite skills but also align with the company’s values.
5. Industry Insights
From years of partnerships, placements, and staffing tools, agencies have gained valuable insights into market trends, salary benchmarks, and competitive analysis within IT, EDI, ERP, and integration technology. Partnering with someone who has a pulse on the hiring landscape for these fields can help clients make informed hiring decisions and stay competitive in the market to achieve sustainability and employee retention.
Whatever the hiring market situation may be, partnering with an agency that focuses on IT, EDI, ERP, or integration tech that has a pulse on the market can help clients meet any of their technical recruitment demands. Their combination of keeping up with requirements and understanding the needs of both clients and candidates makes them well-versed in helping companies adapt to changing demands as the industry evolves by delivering flexible, efficient solutions backed by data and personal experience.
