Working from Home (WFH)


I think companies should start looking providing this option to employees for a number of reasons.  While many employers fear the loss of control they have over their WFH employees, it's quite the opposite.  Let me explain.  As an employer, you have full trust and confidence in your employee and allow them to work from home when needed -- or all the time.  In turn, your employee feels like a trusted member of the team and ends up producing at levels beyond your expectations.  It is a win-win situation.  

Obviously, there are some drawbacks like maintaining culture or camaraderie.  But, from experience, that's nothing a weekly video conference call can't help.  A majority of my teammates are remote, but they are some of the best colleagues I have ever worked with in my professional career.

How many of you are more efficient working from home (WFH)?  I most certainly am.  I get more quality work done, am more focused, and have far less distractions.  

A huge plus: I can load the dishwasher in the 5 minutes of downtime I have.

Find Me A Job...

As a Corporate Recruiter, I cannot begin to tell you how many times someone (acquaintances and strangers are equally guilty) will email me their resume and say "I'm interested in working for your company".

GREAT!

But, do us a favor.  Please go to our Job Board and find a position that interests you.  Tell us why you are interested and what makes you a good fit.  If we aren't the recruiter for that position, rest assured that we will forward your resume to the correct recruiter.  While we'd love to help find you a great job, it is not a good use of anyone's time to go back and forth, "Do you like this position? What about this one? Or this one?"  We don't want to make assumptions on what you are interested in and/or what you would be good at.

If you are interested in working for our company...
