The HIRE (Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment) Act was signed on March 18th and went into effect last month. It features two incentives for employers who hire and retain new employees. The act was put into place to attempt to accelerate the hiring of unemployed workers. Without an increase in the economy, businesses have been reluctant to hire new employees due to the cost imposed on them. The below incentives should serve beneficial for this new employment opportunities within the US.

IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman believes that “these tax breaks offer a much-needed boost to employers willing to expand their payrolls, and businesses and nonprofits should keep these benefits in mind as they plan for the year ahead”.

Incentive #1: As of February 3, 2010, if an employer hires someone who has been unemployed the previous 3 months for a new position then the employer does not have to pay the employer portion of social security on that person’s wages.

Incentive #2: Employers will receive a $1,000 income tax credit for every newly hired employee as of February 3, 2010, who is not a replacement for a previous employee and who is employed continuously thereafter for 52 weeks (1 year).

Your company’s situation may be such that you are not in a position to hire at this time. This should, however, not deter you from hiring summer temporary workers. There are several important aspects to consider that would help your company over the summer months.

1. Permanent Employees go on vacation leaving work that needs to get done.

2. Hiring Students will Invigorate Your Organization.

3. Temp hires enhance the bottom line.

What Question Have You Always Wanted To Ask A Recruiter?

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Yesterday, I was having a tough time trying to come up with my next blog post. So, I asked my twitter connections what question would they ask a recruiter if they could. I got some wonderful responses. I will answer each one of them, so if you have a question, add them to the comments section below.

I decided I am going to start an advice column here, once in awhile. A “Dear Audrey” column, like the famous “Dear Abby” column, but for job hunting and career advice.

The first question is from @MCP85 (Tony Jones) Do they check out a person’s social media persona, check them on facebook, twitter, their blogs? Can it effect the decision?

My Answer:

Did a very fast Google search for “Do hiring managers check online” and I found a survey quickly from September 2008, that 22% percent do check online profiles for candidates they are thinking of hiring. The number may be higher now or in other surveys, but why take a chance?

If a manager is checking online, of course if they find something negative it may affect the decision. So, if you are contemplating posting something you wouldn’t want your mother to see, don’t post it. If you have posted it, think about changing your privacy settings or removing it. What you post online stays forever, including tweets from twitter. Most recruiters I know are very resourceful when they want to find out information on the internet. Personally, I don’t check too much due to time constraints, but have seen things that were memorable for the wrong reasons about a candidate I was considering.
