The California jobless rate rose to 12.3% last month from 11.9% in May, said the CEDD. Government workers hit the unemployment lines in droves, due to lay offs – that’s a lot of it. The question is, are those jobs really ever going to come back for those same people? Frankly, it seems like becoming a Free Agent (a contract employee with full, transferrable benefits) would be the way to go for a lot of them.
For companies looking to hire talented professionals with lots of experience, but not stick their necks out with a hiring spree (maybe they need to staff up for a 12-month project), bringing people on with Free Agent Source lets them hire without risk, but still get the kind of talent you’d expect from permanent hiring. Win for everyone.
