So, you thought retirement was everything you had dreamed of; golfing, fishing, travelling, gardening, napping, reading, poker, gambling etc. Then you got bored with the “project list” or you eliminated your “fun money” account. You started to have fantasies about returning to the workforce but had nightmares about the rejection because you thought no one would hire someone coming out of retirement.

Think you are too old to find work? Think again.

The candidate market is shifting to include older workers as a key component of today’s workforce.

POW’s (People of Wisdom) are being called to the workforce for their knowledge, value, work ethic and their willingness to mentor and train the young folks coming up through the ranks.

As a Senior Recruiter in the staffing industry, I have been witnessing this paradigm shift for the past year. A paradigm shift is defined as an important change that happens when the usual way of thinking about or doing something is replaced by a new and different way.

What is creating this shift? Plain and simple… A shortage of qualified workers.

Thus far in 2018, I am proud to say that many of my placements have been senior candidates in management roles. Positions have included Accounting, Manufacturing, Sales and Human Resources. Salaries have ranged upwards of $100K plus bonus.

This is an exciting time. The wisdom and expertise that you bring to the workplace is important to the future success of our growing economy.

Your contribution is valued and appreciated.

We at Humanix invite both candidates and companies to reach out to our staffing team for our expertise in finding that next great job or great candidate for your company.
