What does Minnesota's cold snowy spring have in common with Accounting and Finance in the world of job searches. Unfortunately, a lot. A still sluggish (although warming) economy, a surplus of qualified candidates and a dearth of openings in this market have left many people making that long sighing sound.
At SkyWater Search, we are often asked about the legal status of pre-employment tests and background checks. The fact is that companies are entitled to carry out pre-employment assessments provided that they are not discriminatory based on race, color, sex, religion, disability, age, national origin or religion. They must also be properly administered.
Getting your culture fit right in the hiring process is vital to the long-term success of every business. Get it wrong and the consequences are twofold. Not only does your organization face the additional costs that come with replacing a departing employee but also a disgruntled and often demoralized workforce as yet another new starter didn’t work out.
We were recently surprised and honored to learn that SkyWater will be the recipient of a second award as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Minnesota. This award comes from Minnesota Business Magazine for businesses that “excel in employee well-being.”
