A Message For Employers
Don’t overlook mature jobseekers when it comes to filling those crucial job and contract vacancies..
This generation of workers comes with stability, experience, good skills and a good work ethic – and they don’t usually want to take over the company! They just want to make a valid contribution and be rewarded accordingly. This cohort can often afford to be more flexible in their working arrangements than younger workers, too.
And that all adds up to a recipe for business success.
Get in touch to find out how to fill your staffing needs.
