As the workplace landscape continues to evolve, mastering the art of remote job interviews is essential. Here's a quick guide to position yourself for success in the virtual space:

1. Dress for Success: Even in the virtual realm, first impressions matter. Dress professionally from head to toe. Not only does it boost confidence, but it also signals your commitment to the process.
2. Optimize Your Environment: Choose a quiet, well-lit space with minimal distractions. A clutter-free background sends a polished image, and good lighting ensures you're clearly visible. Consider using a neutral virtual background if necessary.
3. Tech Check: Ensure your tech arsenal is in top form. Test your camera, microphone, and internet connection beforehand. Familiarize yourself with the video conferencing platform to minimize technical hiccups during the interview.
4. Craft Succinct Responses: Virtual interviews often require more concise communication. Practice articulating your thoughts clearly and succinctly. Be ready to share examples that showcase your accomplishments and problem-solving abilities.

How would you describe the current market? Temperamental, challenging, a rollercoaster?

In a recent report by TechServe Alliance, Mark Roberts, CEO said, “It really is a very strange environment. We have a very tight labor supply, without a doubt. But demand is certainly down from what we saw in the first half of last year and in 2021. Some companies are up, some are down.”

But the most frequent description likely won’t come as a surprise: slow.

With the number of contingent workers within the enterprise workforce expected to rise (Magnit research shows that 76% of employers anticipate contingent headcount to increase or stay the same in the coming year), leaders must find ways to drive even greater program impact from their extended workforce and scale their successes. To adapt to today’s market and overcome talent supply issues, they must approach their non-employee workforce as strategically as their full-time workforce.

In the fast-paced world of business, it's easy to get lost in the pursuit of success. PSI firmly believes that true success isn't measured solely by financial achievements, but by the positive impact we make on the communities that surround us. For the PSI team, giving back to the community is not just a moral imperative, but a key ingredient to our thriving work culture.

Community Connection: By actively engaging in community initiatives, we build stronger connections with the people and places where we live and work. These connections foster a sense of belonging and purpose, which can significantly enhance our team's morale and motivation.

Team Building: Volunteering together and participating in community projects create a sense of unity within the team. It's an opportunity for colleagues to work together toward a common goal outside the usual office environment, strengthening their bonds.

Inspired Innovation: The act of giving back often leads to fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. It's no secret that diverse experiences can spark creativity. Our team's new insights gained from community involvement often translate into more innovative solutions and approaches in the workplace.

Boosted Morale: Seeing the tangible impact of their efforts in the community is an incredible team morale booster. Knowing that our organization is making a difference beyond profits provides a sense of pride and purpose, leading to increased job satisfaction and overall happiness.

So, whether it's supporting charitable causes or participating in local events, it's important to remember that for PSI giving back isn't just about philanthropy; it's an investment in our work culture and a brighter future. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the world around us while reaping the numerous benefits for our organizations and teams.

“Recruiting professionals have never been able to make a bigger impact than right now. You used to be able to say, ‘These hires helped our company.’ Now you can say, ‘I changed the make-up of our company, I changed where we work, I changed what we look for, and I changed how we hire.’”

TechServe Alliance reports In today’s fiercely competitive job market, recruiters confront multifaceted challenges, from technology changes to shifting candidate expectations. Let’s delve into these obstacles, and provide practical insights for recruiters and hiring managers to excel in the quest for top talent, offering a valuable guide to navigating the complexities of modern candidate acquisition.

“At PSI we believe that community service is part of the cost of being a steward of your community and a requirement to be a part of the PSI team.” stated Monty Ragland, PSI Chief Executive Officer.

Each quarter PSI leadership shuts the office down for a half day to engage in a PSI Gives community service event to allow the team the opportunity to connect outside of the office, support area non-profits, and enhance morale. Engaging in local philanthropy efforts empowers PSI team members to focus on something bigger than themselves. Whether it’s assembling food packages or aiding the homeless, these actions fill the team with pride and a greater sense of purpose. Following each opportunity, leadership takes the team out to review and reflect on the day’s events.

What's the most common challenge in this space?

The most common challenge that PSI faces is finding people. This market is booming right now with so much opportunity…and it is happening FAST! Things are moving at break neck speeds right now. The opportunities are plentiful for folks who are hard workers with experience. While it is the most challenging, it is also the most rewarding. Knowing that we are helping folks with their career makes us happy.

What advice do you have for women in executive positions?

DO NOT SIT DOWN! Seriously, if you want the opportunity you need to take it. Make it happen. If you aren’t willing to put your neck out, to ask for the opportunity, to walk the difficult path you will never get to where you want to be. As Shirley Chisholm said “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring in a folding chair.”

According to the International Data Corporation, investment in digital transformation is projected to reach a whopping $6.3 trillion by next year. There are a few reasons for this. In part, businesses of all kinds – including staffing firms – are seeking ways to be more efficient. This is particularly true in a post-pandemic world facing rising material and labor costs, rapid-fire regulatory changes, and a shortage of IT talent. Technology is, of course, one way to address these challenges.

A recent presentation to TechServe Alliance members shared eight factors that contribute to a successful digital transformation. Check it out: https://conta.cc/3EVPljX

Unraveling Digital Transformation: 8 Factors for Success Businesses have put tools and technologies in place over the past several decades, and those tools are in need of modernization.

PSI is an equal opportunity employer committed to hiring, supporting, and promoting a diverse and inclusive workforce. We embrace diversity of all kinds and believe that it contributes to a positive work environment.

Chloe Taylor is one shining example of excellence in action.

Chloe Taylor’s career journey began with her enrollment in the Ohio School for the Deaf (OSD) 4Plus Program. The program is designed to aid deaf or hard of hearing students who demonstrate a need for continuing education upon completion of their high school credits and defer their diploma. The goal of the program is to help students gain employment experience and develop and improve their independent living skills while receiving support from teachers and staff.

It was within this program that Chloe connected with her true passion – working with children like her – children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Chloe found herself immersed in the stories and experiences of the program participants, which motivated her to pursue a career through the Program as a Student Aide.

Why has it gotten so hard to land a remote job?

Business Insider dug into the factors behind this highly competitive job market and found the following three key factors are driving the crunch.

1. Many large companies have ordered their remote employees to return to their cubicles, prompting scores of office-averse professionals to look for roles that will allow them to keep working from home.

2. Those same companies are now listing almost every new job opening as in-person or hybrid, sparking a sharp drop in the number of remote roles.

3. There's been a dramatic slowdown in tech, the industry that supercharged the boom in remote work. The result: Too many WFH wannabes vying for too few remote spots.

Giving back to nonprofits and devoting personal time, talent and treasure has been trending down in the last decade. It is a different story in the world of corporate philanthropy.

Since 2018, corporate giving and volunteerism is up. According to the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), 47% of U.S. companies offered community volunteer programs in 2018, up from 40% in 2014. That percentage is even higher for large companies. The Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose—a global coalition of multibillion-dollar companies—reports that 66% of its member firms offered paid-time-off volunteer programs in 2019, compared with 56% in 2016.
