2026 Hiring Guide: How to Build a High-Impact Team in a Competitive Market

Posted on by concentric

Our 2026 Hiring Guide starts with one clear truth: hiring today looks very different than it did even a few years ago. Talent expectations are evolving, leadership roles are more dynamic, and companies must grow while protecting culture in an increasingly competitive market.

The positive news is that building a strong team does not need to feel complicated. With clarity, intentional planning, and a trusted hiring partner, the process becomes faster and more enjoyable while producing stronger outcomes.

This is exactly where Concentric Corporation provides value.

For more than 20 years, Concentric has partnered with organizations across a wide range of industries to identify and secure high-performing professionals. Whether you are filling a leadership role, expanding a department, or building a team from the ground up, our process simplifies hiring, saves time, improves alignment, and helps ensure that the right person is selected the first time.

Start With Clarity and Not Applicants

Before a job is posted, clarity is the most valuable step companies can take. Many hiring processes begin too quickly which creates confusion later in the interview stage. A thoughtful role definition ensures that expectations are shared by everyone involved.

The strongest hiring processes begin by answering simple questions:

  • What does the role truly require
  • What does success look like in the next year
  • What qualities matter most outside of technical ability
  • How will this person support growth or organizational change

Clarity helps protect time, improves retention, and prevents misalignment while interviewing.

Concentric helps clients through this process and ensures that each search begins with clear expectations, market insight, and realistic criteria. Our recruiting experts handle full-cycle search management including market research, talent mapping, conversations with professionals, and final selection support.

Reach Passive Talent and Not Only Applicants

Many of the strongest performing professionals are not browsing job boards or actively seeking new opportunities. They are busy performing well in their current roles which makes them less visible to traditional recruiting methods.

This is why a proactive search produces stronger hiring results.

Concentric has built long-term and relationship-driven networks that allow us to speak with passive professionals. These individuals are often highly successful in their current roles and are open to a new opportunity if it aligns with the right culture, timing, leadership style, and career goals. We connect through thoughtful outreach, market research, referrals, and one-on-one discovery conversations.

Passive talent often creates stronger outcomes:

  • Higher performance and predictability
  • Better cultural alignment
  • Faster onboarding
  • Higher retention
  • Stronger long-term fit

Instead of hundreds of applicants, companies receive a small group of qualified and highly aligned candidates who are ready to make an intentional move.

Simplify the Process With a Strategic Hiring Partner

A recruiting partner is more than a sourcing resource. When executed well, it becomes a strategic advantage for the internal team.

Companies partner with Concentric when:

  • They need solutions and not resumes
  • Time is limited and quality matters
  • A role is highly confidential or mission critical
  • Alignment and brand representation are essential
  • Internal resources need support or guidance from outside experts

Concentric streamlines the process from start to finish, including:

  • Dedicated recruiting support
  • Market and talent research
  • Passive outreach and direct engagement
  • Discovery conversations and screening
  • Reference and background checks
  • Insights, coordination, and communication

This helps ensure that every part of the hiring experience is smooth, respectful, and collaborative.

Better Hiring Begins With Better Listening

Concentric listens first. We do not rely on resumes alone and we do not match purely based on keywords. We take the time to understand who you are, how your team operates, what makes your culture unique, and how the new hire will contribute inside the business.

Strong hiring requires curiosity and not speed. When conversations are thoughtful, hiring outcomes are stronger.

2026 Is the Year to Hire With Intention

The competitive landscape is not slowing down. However, companies who hire with clarity, partnership, and strong recruiting expertise will continue to outperform.

Whether you are hiring one professional or building a multi-person team, Concentric is here to provide structure, clarity, support, and peace of mind. Our goal is to help you simplify hiring and secure professionals who become high-impact contributors and not just employees.

Let us help you make hiring easier and more strategic in 2026.

The Importance of Taking Time to Reset

Posted on by concentric

Recharge, Reflect, and Reset

As the year comes to a close, many professionals find themselves running on fumes. Between deadlines, meetings, and personal commitments, it can feel like the only way to stay on track is to keep pushing harder. At Concentric, we believe in the importance of taking time to reset. Hard work is at the core of what we do, but we also know that stepping back to rest and recharge is what allows you to perform at your highest level.

The holiday season offers something we often overlook: a natural opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. When you take that time to recharge, you return stronger, sharper, and ready to take on new challenges with clarity and purpose.

Recognizing When You Need a Reset

Burnout does not arrive all at once. It builds quietly through long days, constant multitasking, and the pressure to always stay available. You might notice your focus fading, creativity stalling, or energy dropping. Those are all signs that your mind and body are asking for a break.

At Concentric, we have seen that the most successful professionals are the ones who understand balance. They give their best effort when it is time to work, and they give themselves permission to rest when it is time to recover. Rest is not a reward you earn after working hard. It is what allows you to keep working hard and showing up as your best self.

The Power of True Rest

Rest is more than just taking a few days off. It is about being intentional with your time away from work. Spend time with family, catch up on sleep, get outside, or simply allow yourself a quiet morning without a packed to-do list. When you step back and truly disconnect, you create the space for new ideas, renewed motivation, and genuine perspective.

Research shows that rest improves creativity, problem-solving, and focus. When you return to your work, you do not just feel better; you perform better.

Reflect Before You Refocus

As one year closes and another begins, reflection becomes a powerful tool for growth. Take a few moments to think about what you accomplished this year, what challenged you, and what you learned along the way. Recognizing your progress helps you set more intentional goals for the year ahead.

At Concentric, we talk often about alignment, connecting people and organizations with the right fit so they can thrive. The same principle applies to your personal and professional life. When you take time to reflect, you give yourself the clarity to align your goals with what truly drives you.

Returning Recharged

When you come back after taking a true break, you bring more than energy; you bring renewed focus and motivation. You can tackle challenges with a clear mind, collaborate more effectively, and find greater satisfaction in your work.

This holiday season, give yourself permission to slow down. Enjoy the people around you. Celebrate what you have achieved, and let rest prepare you for what is ahead. At Concentric, we believe that hard work and dedication are powerful, but balance and recovery are what sustain success over time.

As you close out the year, remember that taking time to reset is not stepping away from progress. It is setting yourself up to go further.

Happy Holidays,
The Concentric Team

How to Navigate Hiring During the Holidays: Insights from Concentric Corporation

Posted on by concentric

The holiday season can be both a challenging and opportunistic time for hiring. While many companies slow down operations, the right strategy can help your organization attract top talent and set the stage for a strong new year. At Concentric Corporation, we’ve spent over 20 years helping companies navigate talent acquisition during every season, including the holidays. Here’s our guide to making hiring during the holidays work for you.

The Benefits of Hiring During the Holidays

  1. Less Competition for Talent
    Many companies pause hiring during November and December. This gives proactive organizations an edge to connect with skilled candidates before the new year.
  2. Candidates are More Receptive
    The holidays often prompt career reflection. Candidates may be open to exploring new opportunities as they plan for 2026, making this an ideal time to engage both active and passive talent.
  3. Accelerated Decision-Making
    With fewer companies in the market, organizations can move faster on top candidates reducing the back-and-forth delays common during peak hiring periods.

Challenges to Consider

  1. Limited Availability
    Holiday travel, vacations, and family commitments can make scheduling interviews and finalizing offers more complex.
  2. Slower Administrative Processes
    HR and operations teams may be stretched thin or on leave, potentially delaying background checks, approvals, or onboarding.
  3. End-of-Year Budget Constraints
    Hiring freezes or limited budgets in some departments may restrict your ability to onboard new talent immediately.

Concentric’s Tips for Successful Holiday Hiring

  1. Plan Strategically
    Identify priority roles that must be filled before the new year. Create clear timelines for recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding to stay on track despite holiday schedules.
  2. Communicate Clearly with Candidates
    Transparency about availability, timelines, and expectations ensures candidates remain engaged even if processes slow down.
  3. Leverage Remote and Flexible Options
    Offering virtual interviews or flexible start dates can help accommodate candidates who are traveling or managing holiday commitments.
  4. Engage Passive Talent
    Use this time to nurture relationships with top professionals who may not be actively seeking new roles but could be open to opportunities in the new year.
  5. Showcase Your Employer Brand
    Highlight your company culture through festive content, holiday greetings, or team celebrations. A strong employer brand keeps your organization top-of-mind for prospective hires.

Why Partner with Concentric Corporation

At Concentric, we specialize in executive recruiting, staffing solutions, and strategic talent acquisition across industries including finance, engineering, IT, marketing, sales, legal, and operations. Our personalized approach ensures alignment between candidates and organizations, even during the busy holiday season. By partnering with us, your company can navigate the holidays with confidence, attract top talent, and set your team up for success in 2026.

Bottom Line: Hiring during the holidays presents unique challenges, but with the right strategy, it’s also a time of opportunity. With Concentric Corporation as your hiring partner, you can connect with top-tier candidates and position your organization for a strong start to the new year.

The Real ROI of Partnering with a Staffing Firm: What Most Employers Miss

Posted on by concentric

When evaluating hiring strategies, many companies focus on the upfront cost of recruiting services. But what they often overlook is the long-term ROI of working with a staffing firm. At Concentric Corporation, we offer more than just candidates. We deliver strategic hiring solutions that minimize risk, strengthen your workforce, and save time and money in the long run.

Here’s what most employers miss and why working with a staffing partner could be one of the smartest investments you make.

Understanding the Cost of a Bad Hire

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a poor hiring decision can cost your company up to 30 percent of that employee’s annual salary. But the impact goes well beyond lost wages.

A bad hire often results in:

  • Decreased team productivity
  • Declining morale across departments
  • Damaged client relationships or missed deadlines
  • Strain on internal HR and leadership bandwidth
  • Higher turnover and additional recruitment expenses

By partnering with Concentric Corporation, you gain access to talent that’s already been thoroughly screened and evaluated. We help eliminate guesswork from your hiring process, reducing the cost of a bad hire and supporting long-term business growth.

The Real Value of Staffing Partners

Working with a staffing firm isn’t just a stopgap solution. It’s a way to gain a competitive edge in today’s fast-paced hiring landscape.

Here are the key benefits of using a staffing agency like Concentric:

1. Faster, More Efficient Hiring

Our recruiters maintain pre-qualified talent pipelines, helping you reduce time-to-fill and secure top candidates before your competitors do.

2. Higher-Quality Talent

We have direct access to both active job seekers and passive candidates who aren’t browsing job boards. Many of our placements come from long-standing professional relationships built on trust.

3. Long-Term Retention

We focus on long-term fit, not just short-term fixes. Each candidate is evaluated for experience, values alignment, and cultural compatibility to help you reduce turnover and maintain workforce stability.

4. Increased Productivity for Your Team

While we manage sourcing, screening, and candidate communication, your HR and leadership teams can focus on business-critical goals.

5. Data-Driven Hiring Decisions

We use industry benchmarks and labor market data to advise you on competitive compensation, in-demand skill sets, and hiring trends that align with your growth plan.

Strategic Hiring Solutions, Customized for You

Not all recruiting firms take a consultative approach. Concentric does. We tailor our strategy to your hiring goals, growth stage, and company culture. Whether you need retained executive search or flexible contingent staffing, our process is designed to support you at every level.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all recruiting. We believe in aligning the right people with the right mission.

Why the ROI of Working with a Staffing Firm Matters

The ROI of working with a staffing firm comes from more than just filling roles faster. It’s about minimizing hiring mistakes, improving workforce quality, and freeing up your internal resources to focus on what matters most – business growth.

Concentric Corporation offers:

  • Relationship-based candidate sourcing
  • Deep industry expertise in hiring for accounting, finance, tech, legal, marketing, and executive roles
  • A people-first approach backed by two decades of experience
  • Measurable hiring outcomes and improved retention rates

If you’re focused on hiring smarter, faster, and more strategically, you need a staffing partner who understands your vision and is equipped to help you reach it.

How to Stand Out in a Competitive Job Market: 6 Tips from a Recruiter

Posted on by concentric

Whether you’re actively job hunting or considering your next move, these tips will help you stand out in a competitive job market. At Concentric Corporation, we’ve partnered with thousands of professionals to help them secure meaningful, career-defining roles. One common theme across successful placements? Strategic positioning.

1. Optimize Your Resume for Every Role

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all resumes. Today’s job market demands precision. Recruiters and applicant tracking systems (ATS) are scanning for specific keywords tied to each role.

Pro Tip: Extract language directly from the job posting – titles, technical skills, tools, certifications – and incorporate them naturally into your resume. This not only improves your ATS ranking but also shows hiring managers that you’ve done your homework.

At Concentric, we often see great candidates overlooked simply because their resume wasn’t tailored. Don’t let that be you.

2. Focus on Quantifiable Impact Over Job Duties

Employers don’t just want to know what you were responsible for – they want to know the value you brought to the organization.

Instead of:
“Managed a sales team.”

Try:
“Led a regional sales team to achieve 125% of quarterly targets, generating $1.2M in new business.”

Use metrics whenever possible: revenue increases, time saved, process improvements, cost reductions, or client retention rates. These data points create a compelling case for your candidacy.

3. Leverage LinkedIn to Build a Strategic Online Presence

Your LinkedIn profile is often your first impression – and in many cases, it’s how recruiters like us find you.

Make sure your profile includes:

  • A professional headshot (clear, approachable, and current)
  • A headline that’s more than just your title (e.g., “Financial Analyst | FP&A | Excel Power User | Driving Data-Driven Decisions”)
  • A summary section that communicates your value proposition and career highlights
  • Skills and endorsements that align with your target roles
  • Recent accomplishments and keywords that help your profile appear in recruiter searches

Staying active on the platform – liking, commenting, or sharing industry content – can also increase your visibility.

4. Partner With a Recruiter to Access the Hidden Job Market

Many of the best jobs are never posted online. This hidden job market is where recruiters shine.

Working with Concentric means:

  • Gaining insider access to unadvertised opportunities
  • Receiving expert feedback on your resume, interview approach, and market positioning
  • Getting matched with companies and roles that align with your long-term career goals—not just a job description

We advocate for you. We know what hiring managers are looking for, and we help our candidates navigate every step of the process.

5. Know and Communicate Your Value Proposition

In every interview or networking conversation, be ready to answer: Why should they choose you?

This is your personal brand. It’s a mix of your strengths, your results, your industry experience, and how you uniquely approach problems.

To define your value proposition, ask yourself:

  • What problems do I consistently solve?
  • What do colleagues or clients always praise me for?
  • What do I do better or differently than others in my field?

Once you have this figured out, weave it into your resume, LinkedIn summary, and elevator pitch.

6. Always Follow Up – It Matters More Than You Think

A thoughtful follow-up email shows professionalism, enthusiasm, and strong communication skills. It also reminds the hiring team who you are – especially important if they’re meeting with multiple candidates.

In your message, include:

  • A quick thank you for their time
  • A brief mention of something you enjoyed or learned during the conversation
  • A reaffirmation of your interest in the role

Even if the role isn’t the right fit, this keeps you on their radar for future opportunities.

What to Do If You’re a Passive Professional Who Wants to Advance Your Career

Posted on by concentric

You’re not unhappy in your job. You’re good at what you do, your team respects you, and things are, well, fine. But here’s the truth: fine is not always fulfilling. If you’re a passive professional who knows there’s potential for more but is unsure where to start, you’re not alone.

Maybe you’ve thought, “I like my role, but I’m not sure this is where I want to stay forever.” Or perhaps a recent conversation made you think about the future and what might be next. Even if you’re not actively job hunting, it’s natural to start wondering about growth.

Many passive professionals feel the same way. These are individuals who are satisfied in their current roles but open to better opportunities. In fact, some of the most strategic and successful career moves happen when someone is secure and stable, yet quietly preparing for what’s ahead.

Whether you consider yourself a passive job seeker, a curious professional, or simply someone exploring new possibilities, there is real value in starting the conversation before you are forced to make a change.

So, what do you do when you’re content but curious?

1. Get Clear on What “More” Means to You

Before you even update your résumé, ask yourself:

  • Do I want to lead a team?
  • Am I craving a new challenge or industry?
  • Is compensation my main motivator?
  • Do I want to work for a company that aligns with my values?

The more you understand your motivations, the better positioned you’ll be to make a smart, strategic move if and when the right opportunity comes along.

2. Update Your LinkedIn (Without Making It Obvious)

You don’t have to announce that you’re looking.
Instead:

  • Refresh your headline to reflect your expertise, not just your title.
  • Add recent achievements or performance metrics.
  • Engage with industry content to stay active in a subtle way.

Think of it as quietly positioning yourself for future opportunities.

3. Talk to a Trusted Recruiter (Like Us!)

This is where Concentric Corporation can help.

We work with high-performing professionals who are not actively job hunting.
Instead, we build confidential, long-term relationships with individuals who are happy where they are but know they have the potential for more.

Our approach is:

  • Discreet. No one will know you’re exploring unless you want them to.
  • Personalized. We take time to understand what drives you.
  • Strategic. We only connect you with opportunities that truly align with your career goals.

We believe the best time to have the conversation is before you’re burned out or urgently looking. When you’re calm and in control, you’re in the best position to make the right move.

4. Keep Building Your Network (Even Now)

Attend the industry event. Comment on that thought leadership post.
Reach out to someone you admire and ask how they got to where they are.

Your network can open doors that job boards can’t. But you need to be present and engaged before you need to lean on it.

5. Stay Curious, Not Complacent

Just because you’re not job hunting doesn’t mean you should stop building your career.

Whether it’s a conversation with a recruiter, attending a leadership seminar, or exploring new responsibilities at your current job, taking small steps now sets you up for bigger success later.

Ready to Talk?

You don’t have to be ready to make a move tomorrow.
But if you’re thinking about your long-term growth, it’s worth starting the conversation today.

At Concentric Corporation, we specialize in helping passive professionals discover the right opportunities to match their ambition. Whether it’s tomorrow or next year, we’re here when you’re ready.

How to Find a Job in Omaha When Openings Aren’t Always Posted

Posted on by concentric

Searching for a job in Omaha, Nebraska right now might feel frustrating. Job boards have fewer listings, LinkedIn seems slow, and companies don’t seem to be hiring. But the truth is, many Omaha companies are hiring – they’re just not posting their jobs publicly.

Instead, these companies are filling positions through their trusted Omaha recruiting partners, like Concentric Corporation. If you’re only applying to public listings, you could be missing out on great opportunities.

Why Omaha Jobs Aren’t Always Listed Online

Many businesses in Omaha are being more strategic with hiring. Rather than posting job openings online, they are choosing to partner with local recruitment agencies. This allows them to save time, reduce the flood of unqualified applications, and focus on finding the right fit faster.

At Concentric Corporation, we work closely with employers across a range of industries, including technology, finance, sales, legal, marketing, and executive leadership. We know about open roles before they go public – and sometimes, they never do.

The Power of Networking and Recruiting Relationships

The Omaha job market is increasingly about relationships. It’s not just what you know; it’s also who knows you. Recruiters act as your advocate, introducing you to employers who trust their recommendations and are ready to hire.

If you’re job searching in Omaha, building a connection with a recruiter can make a significant difference in your visibility and access to unlisted roles.

How Omaha Job Seekers Can Stand Out

To improve your chances of landing the right job in a competitive and quiet market, consider the following tips:

1. Connect with a Local Omaha Recruiter

Recruiters have direct access to Omaha job openings that are never posted publicly. Partnering with someone who knows your industry and the local hiring landscape gives you a competitive edge.

2. Know Your Career Goals

When you’re clear about the type of job you’re seeking, the skills you bring, and what kind of work culture fits you best, your recruiter can match you more effectively with the right employer.

3. Update Your Resume for Omaha Employers

Make sure your résumé is up to date with recent roles, achievements, and relevant skills. Highlight results and certifications that are relevant to your industry in the Omaha job market.

4. Stay Open to Possibilities

Some of the best opportunities come in unexpected packages. Keep an open mind to jobs that might look different on paper but offer long-term growth and alignment with your goals.

5. Keep the Relationship Going

Touch base regularly with your recruiter. A quick check-in can lead to new opportunities, fresh insight, or a job lead that’s just the right fit for you.

Work With Concentric Corporation

At Concentric, we know the Omaha job market inside and out. We work behind the scenes with employers across the metro who are actively hiring – even when you don’t see their jobs posted online. Our job is to make sure you don’t miss the right opportunity just because it’s not listed.

If you’re ready to move forward in your career, we’re ready to help. Let’s talk about your goals and how we can connect you to the right company, at the right time.

Hiring: An Open Letter to Employers & Job Seekers

Posted on by concentric

Let’s be honest, the way most people are hiring and getting hired today isn’t working.

Professionals are flooding job boards, sending resumes into the void, only to be ghosted, ignored, or met with vague promises and unmet expectations. On the other side, employers are sifting through waves of underqualified, overpriced, or culturally misaligned applicants. The result? Frustration. Mistrust. Turnover. Everyone is wasting time, money, and energy and too often, giving up.

Here’s the truth: job boards and ads don’t build great teams. They create noise, not clarity.

What’s missing from this equation is someone who actually understands both sides and knows how to bring them together with precision and purpose.

What both candidates and employers need is not another recruiter. They need a Champion. A trusted, objective partner who can cut through the noise, qualify the ‘why’ behind the hire, and stand behind the outcome.

That’s what we do.

We don’t peddle resumes. We don’t push interviews. We build alignment. We take the time to understand your goals, your culture, your drivers and we challenge you, when necessary, to get clear on what success actually looks like. We vet every professional for skill, motive, and fit. And we only represent roles that offer real, measurable opportunity.

We champion both sides, with integrity, accountability, and with a process we stand behind. And yes, we guarantee our work, because we believe results should speak louder than promises.

This industry doesn’t need more noise. It needs clarity. It needs courage. And it needs professionals willing to advocate for the right match, not just a match.

That is why I started Concentric Corporation.  A company that’s proven time and again there’s a better way to hire and get hired. With 27 years in this industry and long-standing client partnerships to show for it, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of doing things the right way.

We continue to stand alongside the companies and professionals we’ve supported for over 22 years, helping them grow, evolve, and build stronger teams and careers. That commitment hasn’t changed. In fact, it’s only deepened.

But we’re not standing still.

We’ve intentionally positioned Concentric to take on new partnerships this year.  Companies ready to move beyond transactional hiring and into strategic talent acquisition. If you’re looking for a partner who brings experience, clarity, and results to your hiring process we’re here, and we’re ready.

Let’s have a conversation.  If you’re open to exploring how we can help your company grow and build with intention, DM me on LinkedIn and let’s get the conversation started.

Let’s build something better, together.

Concentric’s Approach to Recruiting and the Hiring Process

Posted on by concentric

The hiring process can be exhausting—for both job seekers and employers. Sending out countless resumes without responses can feel disheartening, while employers often face the overwhelming task of sorting through hundreds of generic applications. At Concentric, we believe recruiting and the hiring process should be more than a transaction. It’s about building lasting relationships that create meaningful career opportunities while helping companies thrive with the right talent.

Recruiting with a Human Touch

Many staffing agencies rely on automated keyword searches to filter resumes. But keywords don’t tell the full story of a candidate’s potential or whether they align with a company’s goals and culture.

At Concentric, we do things differently. Our recruiting process is personal, not robotic. We focus on making genuine connections that result in long-term success for both candidates and employers.

What Sets Concentric Apart

As a full-service recruiting firm, Concentric covers a wide range of industries, including:

  • Technology & IT
  • Accounting & Finance
  • Engineering & Manufacturing
  • Legal & Compliance
  • Marketing & Sales
  • Executive Leadership

Here’s how we make hiring personal:

  • Personalized Support for Candidates: We offer hands-on guidance, from resume polishing to interview prep, ensuring candidates feel confident and prepared every step of the way.
  • Direct Access to Decision-Makers: We connect job seekers directly with hiring managers, eliminating unnecessary delays and providing clear feedback.
  • Proactive Job Matching: If we don’t have the right opportunity today, we actively search for roles that fit candidates’ goals, instead of turning them away.
  • Relationship-Focused Approach: We believe hiring is about more than filling jobs—it’s about matching the right people with the right opportunities for lasting success.

Our Tailored Approach for Candidates

No two career journeys are the same, so our process is tailored to each person. We take the time to learn about candidates’ unique challenges, career goals, and aspirations.

Our recruiters begin with personal conversations to understand each job seeker’s professional story. Whether you need help clarifying your next career steps, preparing for interviews, or navigating the onboarding process, we’re here to provide expert guidance—all at no cost to the candidate.

We understand how frustrating and draining multiple interview rounds can be. That’s why we streamline the process, helping candidates connect with the right opportunities faster and with greater transparency.

Partnering with Employers for Success

For employers, finding the right talent can be just as challenging. We work closely with companies to understand their hiring needs, workplace culture, and long-term goals. This allows us to present candidates who not only meet job qualifications but also fit seamlessly into the organization.

Since our founding, Concentric has achieved an 80% retention rate for the professionals we place—a result of our commitment to making thoughtful, strategic matches.

Ready to Find the Perfect Match?

Whether you’re searching for your next career move or looking to hire top talent, Concentric is here to help. The Concentric way of recruiting and the hiring process is to make sure it goes smotthly for all. With decades of experience and a people-first approach, we’ve built lasting partnerships that drive success for both candidates and companies.

Research the Company
Before stepping into any interview, make sure you’ve done your homework. Explore the company’s website, dig into their social media, and check for any recent news.

Whether it’s “Tell me about yourself” or “What’s your greatest strength?”—we recommend practicing out loud. At Concentric Corporation, we coach our candidates on tackling these common questions with confidence, so they’re ready to ace their interviews.

Dress Professionally and Arrive Early
First impressions matter. At Concentric, we always remind our candidates that professionalism starts the moment you walk through the door. Choosing the right outfit and arriving 10-15 minutes early shows that you’re prepared and excited about the opportunity.

Prepare Thoughtful Questions
An interview isn’t just about the company assessing you—it’s also a chance for you to assess them! Preparing a few thoughtful questions about team culture, growth opportunities, or long-term goals can help you stand out and show your genuine interest. We advise our candidates at Concentric Corporation to ask questions that reflect both curiosity and ambition, positioning you as someone who’s not just looking for any job, but the right job.

Follow Up with a Thank You Note

Balancing Hard Work and Relaxation During the Holiday Season

Posted on by concentric

As December rolls in, the pace of life seems to quicken. Deadlines loom, year-end goals need wrapping up, and the holiday season adds a festive yet hectic energy to our days. At Concentric Corporation, we understand the importance of hard work but we also know that we need to prioritize relaxation during the holiday season.

The Value of Hard Work

Success doesn’t come without effort. Hard work is the cornerstone of personal and professional achievement. It’s about pushing through challenges, meeting goals, and striving for excellence in everything we do. During the final stretch of the year, it’s tempting to keep our foot on the gas, working tirelessly to close out projects and set the stage for a successful new year.

However, while hard work drives results, it’s essential to recognize the importance of recharging.

The Power of Relaxation

Amid the hustle and bustle, taking time to relax is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. The holiday season is a time for reflection, connection, and renewal. By allowing ourselves to pause and unwind, we regain the energy and clarity needed to continue performing at our best.

Studies have shown that taking breaks and spending time with loved ones enhances creativity, reduces stress, and improves overall well-being. It’s during these moments of relaxation that we often find inspiration and fresh perspectives that fuel our work in the months to come.

Finding the Balance

So how do we strike the right balance? Start by setting clear priorities. Identify what truly needs to be accomplished before the year ends and what can wait until after the holidays. Delegate tasks where possible and avoid overcommitting yourself.

Consider scheduling dedicated downtime during the holidays. Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a day spent with family, or simply an afternoon of doing nothing, these moments of rest are vital.

At Concentric Corporation, we encourage our team and clients to embrace the holiday season as a time to both celebrate hard work and enjoy well-deserved relaxation. As we prepare to close out the year, let’s remember that true success comes from not only pushing ourselves but also knowing when to step back and recharge.

From all of us at Concentric, we wish you a happy, healthy, and balanced holiday season!

The Importance of Soft Skills in Today’s Workforce: A Recruiter’s Perspective

Posted on by concentric

In the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of business, technical skills and job-specific expertise often take center stage. However, at Concentric Corporation, we’ve come to realize the importance of soft skills are equally critical—if not more so—in driving career success and long-term business impact than hard skills. These are the skills that shape how individuals interact, communicate, and build relationships, making them indispensable in the modern workplace.

Why Soft Skills Matter

Soft skills are the foundation of effective teamwork and leadership. They encompass a broad range of abilities, including communication, empathy, adaptability, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. Unlike technical skills, which can often be taught and refined with practice, soft skills are deeply ingrained in an individual’s personality and are crucial for fostering a positive work environment.

In our experience, candidates who possess strong soft skills tend to excel in roles that require collaboration, customer interaction, and leadership. These individuals can navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, manage conflicts with grace, and inspire their colleagues to achieve shared goals. In essence, soft skills are the glue that holds a team together, ensuring that projects run smoothly and efficiently.

The Balance Between Hard and Soft Skills

While technical proficiency is undoubtedly important, it’s the combination of hard and soft skills that truly sets top performers apart. At Concentric, we’ve seen time and again that candidates who excel in both areas are the ones who drive innovation, foster strong client relationships, and lead teams to success. They are not just problem-solvers; they are problem-preventers, anticipating challenges before they arise and addressing them proactively.

In today’s competitive job market, where many candidates possess similar technical qualifications, soft skills can be the differentiating factor that lands someone the job. Employers are increasingly looking for individuals who can not only do the work but also contribute to a positive company culture, lead by example, and communicate effectively across all levels of the organization.

Building Soft Skills: A Lifelong Journey

Unlike hard skills, which can often be acquired through formal education or training, soft skills require continuous development and self-awareness. As recruiters, we encourage candidates to invest in their soft skills just as they would in their technical abilities. This can be achieved through a variety of means, such as seeking feedback, participating in team projects, and engaging in activities that require interpersonal interaction, such as public speaking or volunteer work.

Moreover, for those in leadership positions or aspiring to be, emotional intelligence—a key soft skill—is crucial. It involves understanding one’s own emotions and those of others, leading to better decision-making, improved relationships, and a more harmonious workplace.

Concentric’s Commitment to Soft Skills

At Concentric Corporation, we recognize the value of soft skills in the workplace and actively seek out candidates who demonstrate them. Our recruitment process is designed to identify not only technical capabilities but also the intangible qualities that make a great team player and leader. We believe that by focusing on both hard and soft skills, we can help our clients build teams that are not only capable but also cohesive and resilient.

In conclusion, as the workforce continues to evolve, so too must our understanding of what makes a successful employee. While technical skills will always be essential, soft skills are the key to unlocking an individual’s full potential. They are the traits that turn a good employee into a great one, and a great team into a world-class organization. At Concentric Corporation, we are committed to finding and nurturing these skills, ensuring that our clients and candidates alike thrive in today’s dynamic business landscape.

1. Remote and Hybrid Work Models are Here to Stay

The shift to remote and hybrid work, accelerated by the pandemic, has become a permanent fixture in tech recruiting.

3. AI and Automation in Recruiting

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation tools are revolutionizing tech recruiting. From AI-powered applicant tracking systems (ATS) that streamline resume screening to chatbots that enhance candidate engagement, technology is making the recruitment process more efficient. These tools not only save time but also reduce human bias, ensuring a fairer hiring process.

4. Focus on Employee Well-being

The well-being of employees has become a central focus for tech companies. Mental health support, work-life balance, and comprehensive wellness programs are now critical components of the employee value proposition. Companies that prioritize the well-being of their employees are more likely to attract and retain top talent, as candidates seek employers who genuinely care about their holistic well-being.

5. Upskilling and Continuous Learning

The tech industry is characterized by rapid innovation, requiring employees to constantly update their skills. Employers are investing in upskilling and continuous learning programs to ensure their workforce remains competitive. Offering access to online courses, certifications, and professional development opportunities not only enhances employee skills but also boosts retention rates.

6. Enhanced Employer Branding

In a competitive job market, a strong employer brand is crucial. Companies are investing in their online presence, showcasing their culture, values, and success stories to attract candidates. This includes leveraging social media, employee testimonials, and transparent communication about company policies and achievements. A compelling employer brand can significantly impact a candidate’s decision to join your organization.

7. Gig Economy and Freelance Talent

The gig economy continues to influence tech recruiting. Many professionals are opting for freelance or contract roles, offering flexibility and a diverse range of projects. Companies are tapping into this talent pool for short-term projects, benefiting from specialized skills without long-term commitments. This trend is expected to grow, providing companies with a versatile and scalable workforce.

8. Data-Driven Recruiting

Data analytics is playing an increasingly important role in tech recruiting. Companies are using data to track recruitment metrics, analyze hiring trends, and improve decision-making processes. By leveraging data, recruiters can identify bottlenecks, optimize sourcing strategies, and enhance the overall candidate experience. Data-driven insights lead to more informed hiring decisions and better outcomes.

9. Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Sustainability and CSR initiatives are becoming more important to candidates, especially younger generations. Tech companies that demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility are more attractive to potential employees. Highlighting your company’s CSR efforts can enhance your employer brand and appeal to socially conscious candidates.

10. Soft Skills in High Demand

While technical skills remain crucial, there is a growing emphasis on soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and adaptability. Tech companies are seeking well-rounded candidates who can thrive in collaborative and dynamic environments. Assessing soft skills during the hiring process is becoming a priority, ensuring that new hires can effectively contribute to the company’s success.

Drawing from our wealth of experience, we’ve compiled invaluable advice to help professionals navigate the competitive job market with confidence and success. Here are 10 expert tips for job seekers from a Concentric recruiter:

  1. Start Building Relationships Early: Establishing a relationship with a trusted recruiter before you’re actively job hunting can be incredibly beneficial. By nurturing this connection over time, you’ll have a valuable ally who understands your career goals, preferences, and unique skill set when the time comes to explore new opportunities.
  2. Ensure Trust and Transparency: Choose a recruiter you trust implicitly. Open and honest communication is key to a successful partnership. Be transparent about your career aspirations, strengths, and areas for growth to ensure your recruiter can effectively advocate for you.
  3. Craft a Flawless Resume: One of the most common pitfalls we see is resumes riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. Take the time to meticulously proofread your resume, ensuring it’s error-free and professionally polished. A well-crafted resume sets the stage for a positive first impression.
  4. Tailor Your Resume to Each Job: Resist the temptation to use a one-size-fits-all approach with your resume. Instead, carefully tailor your resume to each job opportunity, highlighting relevant skills, experiences, and achievements that align with the job description. Showcasing how you’re the perfect fit for the role can significantly increase your chances of landing an interview.
  5. Quantify Your Achievements: When detailing your professional accomplishments on your resume, quantify whenever possible. Numbers provide concrete evidence of your contributions and impact, making your resume more compelling to potential employers. Whether it’s revenue generated, cost savings achieved, or project milestones reached, quantify your achievements to stand out from the crowd.
  6. Leverage Your Network: Don’t underestimate the power of networking in your job search. Tap into your professional network, including former colleagues, mentors, and industry contacts, to uncover hidden job opportunities and gather insights about companies and roles. Networking can open doors and provide valuable referrals.
  7. Prepare for Interviews Thoroughly: Preparation is key to interview success. Research the company, its culture, values, and recent developments. Familiarize yourself with common interview questions and practice your responses. Additionally, anticipate questions specific to the role and industry, showcasing your expertise and suitability for the position.
  8. Demonstrate Cultural Fit: In addition to showcasing your skills and qualifications, emphasize your cultural fit during the interview process. Companies place a significant emphasis on cultural alignment, so be prepared to discuss how your values, work style, and personality align with the organization’s culture.
  9. Ask Insightful Questions: An interview is a two-way street. Use this opportunity to ask insightful questions that demonstrate your genuine interest in the role and company. Inquire about the company’s goals, challenges, and expectations for the role, showcasing your curiosity and commitment to making an informed decision.
  10. Follow Up and Stay Engaged: After interviews and interactions with recruiters or hiring managers, always follow up with a thank-you note expressing your appreciation for the opportunity and reiterating your interest in the position. Additionally, stay engaged throughout the hiring process, maintaining communication with your recruiter and promptly responding to any requests or updates.

In conclusion, navigating the job market can be daunting, but with the right guidance and approach, you can position yourself for success.

Investing in Your Current Team: Prioritizing Culture and Respect

Posted on by concentric

In today’s fast-paced corporate landscape, the emphasis on attracting top talent often overshadows the significance of nurturing and retaining the talent already within your organization. At Concentric Corporation, headquartered in Omaha, NE, we firmly believe that investing in our current team is vital to continued success. While recruiting new talent is undoubtedly essential, fostering a culture where employees feel valued, respected, and supported is equally crucial.

Hannah Coleman, Concentric’s Marketing and Operations Manager, asserts, “Creating a positive work environment goes beyond superficial perks. It’s about cultivating a culture of respect, appreciation, and growth opportunities.”

In an era where flashy office amenities and virtual happy hours dominate the conversation about workplace culture, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters to employees. While perks can be enticing, they pale in comparison to the intrinsic value of feeling respected, acknowledged, and adequately compensated for one’s contributions.

Andy Hawkins, Founder & CEO of Concentric Corporation, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing, “Our employees are our most valuable asset. Investing in them isn’t just a business strategy; it’s a moral imperative. We owe it to our team to provide an environment where they can thrive both personally and professionally.”

At Concentric, we prioritize building a workplace culture centered around respect, integrity, and continuous learning. Here’s how we do it:

Fostering Open Communication:

We encourage transparent communication at all levels of the organization, ensuring that every team member’s voice is heard and valued. Whether through regular team meetings, one-on-one check-ins, or anonymous feedback channels, we strive to create a culture where everyone feels empowered to speak up and share their ideas.

Investing in Growth and Development:

We recognize that professional growth is essential for employee satisfaction and retention. That’s why we offer ongoing training and development opportunities, personalized career advancement plans, and support for further education or certifications. By investing in our employees’ growth, we not only enhance their skills but also demonstrate our commitment to their long-term success.

Promoting Work-Life Balance:

We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Through flexible work arrangements, generous vacation policies, and wellness programs, we empower our team members to prioritize their well-being and personal lives without sacrificing their professional goals.

Recognizing and Rewarding Excellence:

We believe in celebrating achievements and recognizing outstanding performance. Whether through employee recognition programs, performance bonuses, or promotions based on merit, we ensure that hard work and dedication are duly acknowledged and rewarded.

As Hannah Coleman aptly summarizes, “Investing in your current team isn’t just about retaining talent; it’s about creating a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and inspired to do their best work every day.”

In conclusion, at Concentric Corporation, we understand that true success lies not only in attracting top talent but also in nurturing and retaining the talent we already have. By prioritizing culture, respect, and opportunities for growth, we cultivate an environment where employees thrive, driving our collective success forward.

So, let’s remember, while perks like pool tables and virtual happy hours may have their place, they pale in comparison to the fundamental elements of respect, appreciation, and fair compensation.

After all, as Andy Hawkins wisely puts it, “Our team is our greatest asset, and investing in them is the best investment we can make.”

1. Define Your Needs:

Before you begin your search, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of the roles you’re looking to fill and the qualifications required. Work closely with hiring managers and team leaders to outline specific job responsibilities, skills, and attributes needed for success in each position.

2. Craft Compelling Job Descriptions:

A well-crafted job description serves as the first point of contact between your organization and potential candidates. Be sure to highlight not only the job duties but also the company’s mission, values, and culture. This will attract candidates who resonate with your organization’s ethos.

4. Screen Candidates Thoroughly:

Once you’ve received applications, carefully review each candidate’s resume, cover letter, and portfolio (if applicable). Conduct initial screenings to assess their qualifications, experience, and cultural fit. At this stage, consider using behavioral assessments or skills tests to gain deeper insights into candidates’ capabilities.

5. Conduct In-Depth Interviews:

Invite promising candidates for face-to-face interviews to delve deeper into their skills, experience, and motivations. Prepare a list of insightful questions that not only assess their technical competencies but also their problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and cultural fit. Remember, cultural fit is just as important as technical proficiency.

6. Check References:

Don’t underestimate the importance of checking references. Reach out to former employers or colleagues to validate the candidate’s qualifications, work ethic, and interpersonal skills. This step can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s past performance and behavior in the workplace.

7. Assess Cultural Alignment:

During the interview process, gauge candidates’ alignment with your organization’s culture and values. Ask questions that delve into their work style, preferred work environment, and attitudes towards teamwork and collaboration. Look for candidates who demonstrate a genuine passion for your company’s mission and vision.

8. Involve Key Stakeholders:

Incorporate input from key stakeholders, including team members, department heads, and senior leadership, throughout the hiring process. Their perspectives can offer valuable insights and ensure alignment between the new hire and the broader organizational goals.

9. Extend a Compelling Offer:

Once you’ve identified the right candidate, extend a competitive and compelling offer that reflects their skills, experience, and contributions. Be prepared to negotiate terms and address any concerns they may have. A transparent and respectful approach sets the stage for a positive employer-employee relationship from the outset.

10. Continuous Improvement:

Finally, recognize that hiring is an ongoing process of refinement. Solicit feedback from hiring managers, new hires, and team members to continuously evaluate and improve your recruitment strategies. By learning from each hiring experience, you can refine your approach and attract even better talent in the future.

Dispelling Staffing & Recruiting Myths: The Concentric Approach

Posted on by concentric

April brings with it a sense of whimsy and lightheartedness, often associated with pranks and jests. Yet, amidst the April Fools’ festivities, some myths persist in the serious world of staffing and recruiting. At Concentric Corporation, we believe it’s time to debunk the staffing & recruiting myths & misconceptions to shed light on the truth behind our approach.

Myth #1: Recruiters Just Want to Sell You a Job

It’s a common misconception that recruiters are solely focused on pushing any available job onto professionals, regardless of their preferences or career goals. At Concentric, we take a different approach. Our recruiters prioritize getting to know professionals on a personal and professional level before even mentioning a job opportunity. We understand that a successful placement is not just about filling a position but about finding the right fit for both the candidate and the employer.

Myth #2: Fear of Confidentiality Breaches

Professionals often hesitate to reach out to recruiting agencies out of fear of jeopardizing their current job positions. At Concentric, we prioritize confidentiality in every interaction. Our conversations are held in the strictest confidence, ensuring that your job search remains private until you’re ready to make a move. Your career journey is yours alone, and we respect and safeguard that at every step.

Myth #3: Concerns About Fees for Hiring Managers

For hiring managers, partnering with a recruiting firm may raise concerns about additional fees and expenses. However, collaborating with Concentric can actually save you both time and money in the long run. Our expertise in hiring allows us to streamline the recruitment process, delivering top-tier candidates efficiently and effectively. While there may be a fee associated with our services, the value we bring in finding the right talent far outweighs the cost.

At Concentric Corporation, we pride ourselves on being more than just a staffing and recruiting agency.

We are your strategic partner in talent acquisition, dedicated to helping professionals find their ideal career paths and assisting businesses in building high-performing teams. So, this April, let’s dispel the myths and embrace a new era of recruitment built on trust, transparency, and true partnership. Let us handle the hiring process, while you focus on growing your business and achieving your goals. With Concentric by your side, the possibilities are endless.

Tips from Hiring Experts in a Cautious Market

Posted on by concentric

In the business space, uncertainty often breeds caution. As we step into the second quarter of 2024, the prevailing sentiment in hiring circles is one of wariness. Companies, cautious of economic fluctuations and global instability, are treading carefully when it comes to expanding their teams. However, amidst this cautious atmosphere, lies a pool of untapped talent waiting to propel businesses forward, even in rough market conditions.

At Concentric Corporation, we understand the delicate balance between prudence and progress in hiring. Drawing from the insights of hiring experts, we bring you essential tips to navigate the hiring landscape in a cautious market.

Define Your Needs Clearly: Before delving into the hiring process, take the time to precisely outline the roles and skills your company requires. With a clear understanding of your needs, you can streamline the recruitment process, ensuring you attract candidates who are the best fit for your organization.

Leverage Technology: In today’s digital age, technology serves as a powerful ally in the hiring process. Utilize applicant tracking systems, online job boards, and social media platforms to reach a broader pool of candidates. Virtual interviews and assessments can also facilitate efficient screening, enabling you to identify top talent without geographical constraints.

Prioritize Cultural Fit: Beyond technical skills, prioritize cultural fit when evaluating potential hires. Seek candidates who align with your company’s values, vision, and work culture. A cohesive team fosters collaboration and drives productivity, even amidst market uncertainties.

Embrace Flexibility: Flexibility is key in navigating a cautious market. Consider alternative staffing solutions such as freelancers, contractors, or part-time employees to meet fluctuating demand without committing to long-term hires. Adopting a flexible workforce strategy enables you to adapt swiftly to changing business dynamics.

Invest in Upskilling: Instead of solely focusing on external recruitment, consider investing in upskilling existing employees. Identify areas for growth within your team and provide training and development opportunities to nurture internal talent. Upskilling not only enhances employee loyalty but also equips your workforce with the skills needed to navigate market challenges effectively.

Streamline the Hiring Process: In a cautious market, efficiency is paramount. Streamline your hiring process to minimize delays and ensure a seamless candidate experience. Avoid unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles and communicate transparently with candidates to expedite decision-making.

Stay Agile and Adaptive: Adaptability is the hallmark of successful companies in turbulent times. Stay attuned to market trends and be prepared to pivot your hiring strategy accordingly. Whether scaling up or downsizing, maintain agility to navigate market fluctuations without compromising your long-term goals.

Emphasize Employer Branding: In a competitive hiring landscape, a strong employer brand can be a game-changer. Highlight your company’s unique value proposition, employee benefits, and workplace culture to attract top talent. A compelling employer brand not only attracts candidates but also fosters employee retention and engagement.

Mitigate Risks Through Trial Periods: To mitigate hiring risks, consider implementing trial periods or probationary periods for new hires. This allows both parties to assess mutual fit before making long-term commitments. Trial periods provide an opportunity for candidates to showcase their capabilities and for employers to evaluate performance in real-world scenarios.

Seek Professional Guidance: When navigating uncertain hiring terrain, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from hiring experts or recruitment consultants. Their industry insights and expertise can provide invaluable support in devising effective hiring strategies tailored to your company’s needs.

In conclusion, while the term “cautious” may dominate discussions in the hiring landscape, it should not deter companies from seeking out talented individuals to fuel their growth. By adopting a balanced approach that combines prudence with proactive measures, businesses can harness the power of talent even in challenging market conditions. At Concentric Corporation, we believe that with the right strategies and mindset, companies can thrive and emerge stronger amidst uncertainty.

How Concentric Negotiates Your Perfect Job Fit 

Posted on by concentric

The word negotiate in a professional setting can sometimes be intimidating. However, you’re in luck! Concentric’s mission is to focus on the people inside the hiring process. To do that, we take on the negotiation process for you so that both sides will always benefit from the beginning.  

What do we mean by this exactly? In this article, we’ll discuss some things job seekers and hiring managers should consider before the interview stage and how Concentric can help. 

The significance of respecting non-negotiables for job seekers and hiring teams 

Knowing what you are and aren’t willing to compromise before interviewing can help you better define larger goals and roles that are more fitting, regardless of which side of the process you’re on.  

Some aspects to consider include:  

  • A bottom-line salary  
  • Autonomy over workload  
  • Remote, flexible, or hybrid working options  
  • Training and development programs  
  • Development opportunities  
  • Commuting distance and business travel expectations  
  • A company mission statement that aligns with personal values  

Having a list of specified non-negotiables when talking to a Concentric recruiter can result in the following benefits:  

  • Saves time and resources: Knowing everyone’s deal breakers means that no one is investing time or energy into conversations that won’t result in an agreement.   
  • Reduces misunderstandings: Identifying necessary candidate traits or role requirements upfront can help minimize misunderstandings and miscommunications of a job description or experience level during the interview stage.  
  • Ensures alignment: Having non-negotiables helps a recruiter quickly ensure that the company and job seeker are aligned on key issues like compensation, work schedule, or company culture. This can lead to a better working relationship and higher job satisfaction.  
  • Empowers both parties: Job seekers who can comfortably and confidently describe their non-negotiables can be more assertive in communicating their needs in the long run of their careers. Similarly, hiring managers aware of the company’s non-negotiables can make more informed decisions when selecting the best candidate. 

Concentric will be your advocate 

When we work with professionals, we strive to take any stress out of the hiring process for them as possible. The same goes for the companies we partner with. In our minds, the worst thing that could happen during hiring is when a candidate falls in love with a company (or vice versa), goes through a rigorous interview process, and then discovers at the end of it that it can’t work out, and now they must awkwardly decline.  

It’s not about just finding a job— it’s about providing a path to professional goals. Concentric prioritizes understanding the professional’s and client’s needs upfront to ensure we can advocate for and present opportunities that align with their salary requirements, desired skillsets, and location preferences. By taking this approach, we can effectively bridge the gap between our clients and professionals to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.  

Not only that, but we’ll take it one step further by finding positions that are currently closed or available due to our community connections. Likewise, jobs can be created for candidates if a partnership is exceptionally beneficial. These benefits are the fruits of trust, and we take that responsibility very seriously.   

Join the Concentric community 

Our recruiters start with an in-person meeting to get to know candidates, paying particular attention to the obstacles they face in their current employment and discussing short- and long-term goals and ambitions. From there, our recruiters continue their hands-on coaching to candidates in interviewing and onboarding at no cost, connecting them directly with decision-makers to avoid getting lost in the HR void.    

Our approach to recruiting top-tier professionals for thousands of permanent and temporary IT and corporate tech positions is rooted in our core belief that aligning companies with high-quality talent starts at the relationship level. This process isn’t just different from typical IT staffing— it’s successful, resulting in an 80% candidate retention rate after hire.  

Concentric specializes in the following areas:   

  • hardware engineering
  • software engineering  
  • security   
  • infrastructure engineering

How Concentric Humanizes the Hiring Process

Posted on by concentric

Going through the hiring process is stressful. Feeling like you’re sending your resume out into the void daily with no return is mentally exhausting and let’s face it— a bit soul-crushing at times. Perhaps worse may be the sense of hope sparked from six or seven interviews to THEN being turned down without knowing why.

On the flip side, a generic hiring process can lead to repetitive cookie-cutter responses from applicants for hiring managers, making choosing whom to interview feel like finding the needle in the proverbial haystack.

Hiring is time-consuming, but it should be taken seriously. Anyone can fill a job opening with minimum effort. However, finding the right employee who can grow and succeed at a company for the long term and an employer who can build trust with that employee for years to come–that demands something more.

The tech and executive staffing industry is saturated with recruiters who spend most of their day reviewing resumes for keywords. Yet, keywords don’t paint a complete picture. Just because a candidate has (or claimed to) check the decided boxes, it doesn’t automatically mean that they align with the vision of the company that was hiring, leading to an uneven match and low retention.

Concentric’s stance is that recruiting is personal, not transactional, and keyword searches do no good for either party.

How Concentric stands out in staffing

Concentric’s approach to recruiting top-tier professionals for thousands of permanent and temporary IT and tech is rooted in our core belief: Aligning great companies with high-quality talent starts at the relationship level.

Our focus is more than selling a job; it’s about finding the right fit for the goals of all parties.

  • We provide a hands-on experience in interviewing and onboarding. Do you need someone to help beef up or update your resume? Confer with about your first-day attire choices? Land that ideal position? We’re here for you.
  • We directly connect candidates with decision-makers. Find out where you stand sooner so you can confidently take your next step toward opportunities to excel (and get a job as a bonus).
  • If Concentric doesn’t have anything for the professional or client at the time, Concentric will actively search for the right fit for them instead of turning them away.

What our process looks like for candidates

The reality of our process is that it changes from person to person. Finding the right cultural fit strengthens team processes, builds healthier companies, and heightens employee retention. If candidates want to peruse job boards or have their resumes scanned for keywords, they’re not coming to us. We also realize the mental toll and emotional exhaustion that can come from the hoop-jumping multiple rounds of interviews invite.

Our recruiters start with an in-person meeting to get to know candidates personally, paying particular attention to the obstacles they’re facing in their current employment and discussing short- and long-term goals and ambitions. What does this look like, exactly? It can be anything from providing interview prep, practice sessions, and even defining those “next five years” if they’re a bit murky—the entire job search, with all the personal experiences— at no cost to the candidate. Then, they follow up as friendly faces at the first job interview and first day.

Concentric’s core goal is to build mutually beneficial connections between companies and candidates so that all parties can grow toward sustainable success in whatever form that takes. We further strive to invite and engage more individuals into the Concentric community, setting them up for hiring and career advancement in the information and technology spaces through transparent conversations and trusted referrals.
