🚀 Big Wins for CSP in 2024!!! We just wrapped up a successful State Board Meeting for California Staffing Professionals (CSP), and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished this year. 🌟 ✅ Increased Visibility & Events: We've expanded our reach and created more opportunities for connection, learning, and growth. These efforts have already led to membership growth! ✅ Legislative Advocacy Success: One of our biggest wins was defeating 12 out of 12 legislative bills that would have negatively impacted the staffing industry in California. Advocacy like this is critical to ensuring our industry continues to thrive. But here’s the thing: none of this happens because of one person. It’s a testament to the power of a dedicated community of passionate professionals who care deeply about the staffing industry and believe in its potential to help businesses and people succeed. A special thank you to our Board of Directors for their unwavering followership, their time, and their volunteer efforts. Your commitment and leadership make a tangible impact on our association and the industry at large. 💡 To our members, supporters, and advocates: thank you for your contributions and belief in what we’re building together. Together, we’re shaping a stronger future for the California staffing industry. Here’s to continued growth, collaboration, and success in 2024 and beyond! 🚀 #StaffingSuccess #CaliforniaStaffingProfessionals #Leadership #Advocacy #Community

🚨 Attention California Professionals! 🚨 When it comes to partnering with staffing agencies, compliance is key. Don't jeopardize your business by working with non-compliant agencies! California's labor laws are stringent, and compliance is non-negotiable. Partnering with non-compliant staffing agencies can lead to legal headaches, hefty fines, and damage to your reputation. Your business deserves better. Choose a staffing agency that prioritizes compliance, understands California's labor regulations inside out, and is committed to keeping your business protected. Don't risk it with non-compliant agencies! #CaliforniaBusiness #StaffingCompliance #LegalProtection #BusinessRisk #WorkSmart #ChooseWisely #premierlevelstaffing #creativerecruiting

As a Franchise owner of Express Employment Professionals San Jose Ca, Recruiting and Staffing , I can tell you that there are plenty of job opportunities, but the market has become much more difficult for any seeking to find a job. How does that make any sense?!?! The biggest influence, lack of being able to see what the future economics hold for any of us and our clients. This article helps lay some of that out, and share why some companies, while they want people, are scared to pull the trigger. If you are looking for a job, reach out to us and ask for Amanda Zender our professional Recruiter! We can help you navigate these waters vs. floating out there on your own!! #ExpressProsSJ #Hiring #Recruiting #Accounting
