Trouble Finding Work? Why The HT Group Is the Answer

1. Trouble Finding Work? Why The HT Group Is the Answer There are many reasons why smart, talented, dependable, and motivated people can have trouble finding work. Whether you’re in the Austin area or anywhere else, the job market can occasionally feel impossible to break into. And sometimes, it’s just bad luck. Other times, there might be something specific interfering with your landing of a job, but would-be employers aren’t likely to tell you what that is. When you’re not getting a paycheck, the “why” can seem unimportant (though it’s not!). The good news: Whatever the reason for an employment drought, The HT Group, the staffing agency Austin counts on, can help. Recruiters with a Personal Touch Technology advancement in the job-seeking space has given more people access to more jobs. This influx of applications has also resulted in the emergence of the applicant tracking system (ATS). An ATS is a program that looks through resumes, sorts them according to specific metrics and keywords, and then selects those that an actual human being looks at. And unfortunately, 62% of companies using these systems admit that some qualified candidates are likely filtered out by mistake. In many ways, these algorithms are blind to applicants’ actual skills, experience, accomplishments, and job fit.

2. The Austin executive recruiters, tech recruiters, and temporary staffing team at The HT Group, on the other hand, is composed of real people in communication with real people looking for employees. In addition to matching your specific skills to a particular position offered by their extensive network of employers, they can also provide guidance on resume writing and online applications more likely to be chosen by an ATS. Evaluation of Your Soft Skills When providing the IT staffing Austin relies on to keep the tech industry humming, as well as executive recruiting and temporary staffing, The HT Group has considerably more to offer candidates than getting past an ATS. A significant benefit they provide is that they help evaluate your soft skills. Soft skills are those not necessarily listed in a resume, but that can be even more important in the job-seeking process. Attributes such as:      Confidence Communicativeness and communication style Demeanor Leadership capability Adherence to etiquette and attitude in general Unfortunately, we are often the last people capable of objectively evaluating our own soft skills, recognizing the areas in which we shine and those in which we need work. The soft skills we’re convinced we have nailed can even be detrimental. For instance, that confidence you make a point of exuding during a job interview may be coming off as arrogance. Fortunately, the employment experts at The HT Group will partner with you to be the coaches, mentors, and advocates you need to land that dream job.
