Recruiting Employees for Your Texas Business

Are you the owner or manager of a business in Dallas or Houston? Do you often find yourself working with applicants who will need to relocate to the area from out of town if they accept a position with your company? Whether you are hiring employees who will move from another part of Texas or who will move in to the metropolitan area where your company is located, you will need to be able to provide them with information about what is involved in relocating to the area.

Provide Easy Access to Relocation Information

One of the first questions that any out-of-town applicant is going to have about moving to a large market like Dallas or Houston will be related to the cost of housing. It’s key to be able to refer candidates to a comprehensive resource where they can get information about what’s involved in finding a place to live in your area as a newcomer who is relocating for work. The UrbanLeasing.com website is just such a resource; when you refer people you are considering hiring to their site, the individuals you send will be able to learn about luxury loft and apartment living opportunities in the Dallas and Houston areas.

The site features information about rental and purchasing opportunities, so it’s a great way to provide the type of information that your potential future employees will need to help them decide whether or not to join your firm. And, assuming they do come to work for you, the UrbanLeasing.com team can help them find a spot that meets their needs in terms of space, location and budget while providing excellent customer service that includes helping them learn about what features and amenities are located in the areas where the properties they are considering are located to allow for informed decision-making.

Resumes have been very fluid over the years. Candidates, in their infinite wisdom, have put together their resume as best they could with advice from every expert in the industry. Some are told that function resumes are the best, others the chronological is best. For every expert you ask which is best you can almost certainly bet you will get a different answer from each. It often would appear that the expert would suggest it be fluffed up here, dressed up there and made prettier to attract the right attention. Did anyone ever ask what the audience, the Hiring Manager, was looking to see? Not very often. Read the rest of this entry »
