☆ The No. 1 skill companies are hiring for is also the hardest to find, according to new research
  + stars: | 2024-05-03 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
"A strong work ethic" is the top skill companies are looking for in new hires, but is one of the hardest to find, according to new research from ADP. As part of its research, ADP surveyed more than 1,500 business owners, senior leaders and hiring managers about their hiring plans and priorities in 2024. Even as conversations about the importance of technical upskilling reach a fever pitch, soft skills emerged as the clear winner. "A strong work ethic" is a nebulous term. As artificial intelligence integrates more into the workforce, soft skills, or people skills, are invaluable assets to professionals, the report notes.

☆ This simple job interview trick can help you get hired 'on the spot,' says 19-year recruiting pro—but most people skip it

In a job interview, your body language can make or break your chances of landing an offer. This means that, in a job interview, how you speak is just as important as what you say, says Bert Bean, CEO of the staffing firm Insight Global. Bean has interviewed hundreds of job applicants in his 19-year career as a recruiter-turned-CEO. Showing that you are energized and enthusiastic about a role is the top "green flag" hiring managers look for in a job interview, Shekhinah Bass, an executive at Goldman Sachs, told CNBC Make It in August. It's important to note, however, that body language isn't the only way to show your enthusiasm or engagement during a job interview.

☆ Finding a job is getting harder even in a strong labor market: ‘It’s just a mess,’ says recruiting pro
  + stars: | 2024-02-16 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
The job market might look solid on paper — unemployment is low, job openings are high — but the reality for many Americans on the job hunt tells a different story. "I just think the numbers are underselling how hard it is for job seekers right now." Economists and recruiters say lingering expectations from the "great resignation" and businesses' fears about an imminent recession could be to blame for job seekers' malaise. "How people feel about the job market is informed by their recent experiences with the job market," Glassdoor chief economist Daniel Zhao recently told CNBC. So even if 2024 is shaping up to be a relatively healthy labor market by recent comparison, it doesn't feel quite as strong."

One of the best candidates Bert Bean has ever hired in his 19-year career as a recruiter-turned-CEO landed the job by talking about shrimp during her interview. "I remember thinking to myself: 'If you can do that, you must have an incredible work ethic' … it sold me." Although years have passed since that conversation, Bean says employers still value candidates with grit, adding that it's the top soft skill employers assess candidates for during an interview. "Especially right now, when employee productivity is slipping and companies struggle against inflation, you want someone who can persevere when times get tough." Take CNBC's new online course How to Ace Your Job Interview to learn what hiring managers are really looking for, body language techniques, what to say and not to say, and the best way to talk about pay.

The job market looks solid on paper. Over the course of 2023, U.S. employers added 2.7 million people to their payrolls, according to government data. Unemployment hit a 54-year low at 3.4% in January 2023 and ticked up just slightly to 3.7% by December. "The labor market has been fairly strong and surprisingly resilient," said Daniel Zhao, lead economist at Glassdoor. More than half, 55%, of unemployed adults are burned out from searching for a new job, Insight Global found.

In 2023, U.S. employers added 2.7 million people to the payroll, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But it's a different story for active job seekers. A staffing firm Insight Global found that recently unemployed full-time workers applied to an average of 30 jobs, only to receive an average of four callbacks or responses. So why does it feel so hard to get a job right now and is the U.S. labor market as strong as it seems?

☆ The No. 1 question to never ask in a job interview, says CEO who's interviewed hundreds: 'You risk sending the wrong message'
  + stars: | 2023-12-04 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
There is one question, in particular, you should "never" ask an employer, says Bert Bean, CEO of the staffing firm Insight Global: "What's the work-life balance for this role?" With this question, he explains, "You risk sending the wrong message about your career aspirations to a future employer." Asking hiring managers about the company's work-life balance can create an impression that you aren't engaged, reliable or committed to the role. "Your future employer shouldn't dictate to you what your boundaries should be." There are other ways to determine a company's approach to work-life balance outside of the interview.

The rise of remote and hybrid work has also played a part in concerns over job security and "proximity bias."
