Behind the Scenes at Career Group CompaniesWe’re halfway through 2024 and our business is more dynamic than ever. As we continue to grow, we are expanding our services to meet the needs of our clients nationwide – including specialized teams focused on recruitment within private services, estate management, hospitality, and healthcare.

There is a notable amount of variety in the types of roles we are working on. In order to meet and exceed our clients’ expectations, each search is requiring an even more specialized team of recruiters. We spend a tremendous amount of time sourcing, networking, and getting to know each candidate on a deeper, more personal level. No two searches are alike, and certainly no two individuals are alike. As your hiring partner, we are embracing this essential approach in recruitment and we are constantly elevating our efforts in order to find best-in-class talent.

While we are advising our clients never to waiver from their high standards, when possible they should consider at times moving more swiftly through the process in order not to lose their ideal candidate.

Staying ahead of the trends
Recruitment over the past four years has been both rewarding and challenging. The fluctuating markets have shaped our trajectory as a business while sharpening our skills as recruiting advisors. While hiring increased rapidly in 2021 and 2022, we saw a different reality in 2023. We observed companies reducing excess costs and restructuring teams to meet new business initiatives. Halfway through 2024, we have been excited to see hiring continue at a strong and steady pace while setting the precedent for a stabilized post-pandemic market.
