Hear Teri and Jeffrey discuss how the Business Services Team at CAMW! has a Hot Jobs List that can help companies and job seekers connect in the SoundCloud Podcast shared below:
In their conversation, Jeffrey looked to find out several things from Teri;
Before we dig deeper, Teri, can you start off by sharing what information you have as a section (Inspired by Teri’s section) of the presentations to the Workforce Development and Administrative Boards?
● CAMW!’s weekly Hot Jobs Report allows for job seekers to see open positions in fresh postings and hard-to-fill positions.
● CAMW!’s weekly Hot Jobs Report allows for job seekers to see open positions in fresh postings and hard-to-fill positions.
○ The Hot Jobs Report has a diverse collection of positions ranging in different skill levels and experience.
■ Teri, please share how you and your team make the decision of WHAT goes onto the Hot Jobs list?
○ It’s shared with job seekers via CAMW! social media, posted to the CAMW! website (camw.org) and emailed out to job seekers. ○ Employers with openings they’d like to see featured in CAMW!’s weekly Hot Jobs can…
■ Teri, please share how employers can get their jobs featured?
● Research supports SOME of what we see in the Business Services Team locally so far is consistent with what’s happening nationwide: the hottest jobs revolve around healthcare and technology. ○ But locally, we’re also seeing some differences.
○ The World Resources Institute suggests if Michigan fully embraces EV manufacturing, it could create 56,000 additional auto manufacturing jobs by 2030 and boost whole new industries like EV charging infrastructure.
● Another big aspect that’s getting harder for employers is how long it takes to fill their open positions.
○ The Society for Human Resource Management recently shared “time to fill” has been steadily going up – 40% longer than pre-pandemic – and new data showed the average nationwide to be 44 days.
■ However, in Michigan and the Lansing area, we’re seeing an average of 122 days to fill an open job position with the employers we serve.
■ There are a couple of reasons, but a big one is that we’re often helping support employers in hiring their toughest-to-fill positions.
■ Teri: Please add any additional insights you have here?
○ In the Lansing area, the biggest talent pool shortages we’re seeing are in: ● Healthcare. ● CNC machinist and welder positions. ● Paralegal. ○ Teri: If relevant, describe what you’ve seen as factors in filling open positions. ○ Company’s recruiting methods and communication. ○ Multiple openings per job. ● Company culture and management style.
