It’s ironic, when you get voted by your consultant as a “Best Staffing Firm to Temp For” winner for 2020. https://www.akraya.com/blog/akraya-inc.-named-2020-best-staffing-firm-to-temp-for?utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin instead of calling our consultant with gratitude to thank them for their time to take the survey, I am calling them to possibly pass the worst news possible during this time. You are impacted!
Many of our customer businesses are facing some of the toughest times ever in over a decade, and even if the hiring manager would love to hold on to skilled resources, the unexpected termination is beyond their control.
We have seen in 2007, when a global crisis hits, and companies focus on cutting costs they freeze hiring. But if history is any guide, in the first few months after the upheaval subsides, hiring quickly will become a front-burner issue, too many jobs and scarcity of talent, resulting in haphazard hiring practices and the same talent gap we are experiencing in the valley.
Most companies/ hiring managers react to hiring situations as emergencies, but if you always been struggling to find the right talent than here is your chance to choose from an abundance of talent who are recommended highly by your other tech colleague in the same ecosystem.
Recruitment is an ongoing process that depends on more than just an online job posting. Even potential employees look beyond salary and benefits – they look at the intangibles as well, including the working environment.

Delivery
Our AMs and ADMs gain quality talent by putting your brand in front of them before they go looking for a job. This means spreading a message about the vision, mission, and values of your company that will spark on interest among potential candidates to think “this is the right company for them”
What we often forget is that a job interview is a two-way street, our delivery team ensures to rightly present the opportunity to impress potential candidates into a decision to join and stay at a company.
Almost 30 engineers with different technical expertise, were recently impacted, their past managers can't wait to bring them back on! Those managers obviously can't do that for an extended period of time though. This may be the absolute best time for hiring managers to land top talent!
But there’ a silver lining to every negative turn. The businesses that can survive are blessed with one thing in the aftermath, ITS TIME TO HIRE THAT TALENT.
