As a recruiter who receives 100s of resumes a week, I can assure you that you want your resume to survive the “5 second scan”. This is the average amount of time a recruiter spends looking at each resume before sorting it into one of two piles: YES or NO.
To survive and ensure you have the best odds of hitting the YES pile, follow these simple rules: Continue reading
No interaction is more important to landing your dream job than the interview.
One of the most valuable advantages that a candidate gains when they apply through Squamish Personnel rather than directly to a company is that our client relationships allow us to give candidates an inside glimpse of the prospective employer. Continue reading
As recruiters who have successfully placed thousands of candidates and interviewed 5 times as many, we recognize the importance of asking the right questions and also keeping the interview process focused and brief. Going into an interview, there are the 3 things you are trying to assess:
A. JOB SKILLS: Do they have the experience, skills and qualifications required to succeed in the role?
B. PERSONALITY: Would they be a good culture fit with the company and the rest of the team?
C. INTELLIGENCE: Are they intelligent? Can they solve problems? Work independently? Handle stressful situations? Continue reading
Company culture is rapidly emerging as the essential weapon in winning the war for top talent. At Monster.com one study found that applicants who were a good cultural fit would accept a lower salary and departments with cultural alignment had 30% less turnover.
“Company culture is an integral part of business. It affects nearly every aspect of a company. From recruiting talent to improving employee satisfaction, it’s the backbone of a successful workforce.” Forbes.com
Corporate culture refers to the shared values, attitudes, morals and beliefs that characterize an organization and its members. It is rooted in an organization’s goals, strategies, structure, and also its approach to employees, customers, investors and community.
Squamish Personnel ❤LOVES ❤ to recognize our Top Employees and Star Performers – it’s a natural part of our company culture! This season we will be continuing the tradition with more FUN REWARDS AND PRIZES!
🎗️
We will be REWARDING temp employees on our crew who have completed at least 10 shifts with us this winter season with the chance to win their choice of a new Apple Watch Series 9 or $500 CASH PRIZE. Each shift worked between December 23, 2023 and April 30th 2024, earns 1 ballot in our employee draw at the end of the season.
One of the BEST perks of working for Squamish Personnel as a temp is that we grant you access to a discounted Whistler Blackcomb Season’s Pass all season long! Not only does the Spirit Pass offer local workers a discounted Whistler Blackcomb season’s pass, but it also offers some other great perks – like up to 50% off an RMOW transit pass and 20% off Whistler Blackcomb on-mountain food, fresh tracks breakfast and WB retail all!
Simply complete 10 shifts for us this fall or winter in any position and you will qualify. Not only that, you will have also earned enough in extra wages to pay for it!
Every employee of Whistler and Squamish Personnel Solutions (WPS) is required to follow the standard safety precautions that have been put in place by Work Safe BC and our province to minimize the risk of illness and injury in the workplace. Please do what you can to keep yourself, your teammates and the public safe.
One of the most critical questions that you’ll get asked at EVERY interview is sometimes the one that feels like the easiest to answer – but getting it wrong can cost you big so do not take it lightly. When the interviewer asks you “Do you have any questions for me?” the worst possible answer you can give is a plain old “no”. Recruiters expect you to ask some great questions so be ready.
This is your chance to impress your prospective employer! Don’t miss it!
Asking intelligent questions shows that you have thoughtfully done your research, you are paying attention and you are very interested in the role. When you prep for your interview, review the company website, social media channels and the job description and come up with some specific questions that you really do want to know about the company and the position – and not just about the money and benefits.
