While most hiring sectors have increased dramatically in recent years, manufacturing has shown one of the strongest and most stable growth rates. In 2014 alone, manufacturing alone has added 168,000 jobs according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A recent study by Monster Worldwide Inc., found that as many as 47% of manufacturing workers were dissatisfied with their current job. They also found that 49% of manufacturing workers noted that there were more job openings now than a year ago. Where does that leave manufacturing employers? Struggling to attract and maintain their staff in many cases.
The increased recruiting focus on skilled trades and technical manufacturing has left many employers with a void for entry level production workers and inspectors. In addition, with many entry level production workers being crossed trained into new roles and moving upward within the manufacturing field, vacancies are continuing to grow for machine operators, assembly workers, and general production workers. So where does that leave employers? In a constant struggle for manufacturing workers.
If you are in need of production workers, consider a partnership with an industrial staffing agency, vocational schools in your area, or career counselors. Many have access to entry level workers who are seeking an opportunity to gain full time employment, even if it is seasonal.

Without question if you are in the recruiting or HR field, the topic of recruiting through social media has crossed your mind or desk in the recent months. With steady reported losses for employers in social networking suits due to improper use for screening or evaluation, you may have chosen to avoid the topic. While recruitment through social media does require knowledge of legal ramifications, there are some simple and conservative ways to be involved with little liability to your organization.
The Wall Street Journal reported that social networks accounted for 20% of time spent online in 2011. With the continued growth in 2012, it goes without saying those numbers are only continuing to climb. Their report also shows that social networks reach approximately 82% of the world’s online population, a great audience for those of us who are seeking high demand candidates who are hard to locate.
A recent study from Salary.com gives us some insight to the candidate perspective:
Making your application process accessible to those on social networks, especially on mobile devices could greatly increase your exposure to technical and professional level candidates. If you are considering implementing social networks into your recruiting process, make sure your process is legally compliant with all local, state, and federal laws. Also make sure that your staff is properly trained and educated on how to remain legally compliant in the process. It is always a great idea to make sure your organization’s social media policy is well defined. For more information on integrating social media in your recruiting process, contact your Labor and Employment Law attorney.
