GEasy is Ready to Help Solve Nashville’s Worker Shortage
Tennessee is reporting around 250,000 jobs available right now, with about 500 new postings being added every day, so employers worry that not enough people are taking jobs.
The Employment Firm, GEasy Human Resources (GEasyHR) is promising uninterrupted labor supply to its Hospitality & Services Industry clients across Nashville, thanks to its now larger pool of skilled and qualified hospitality workers.
According to the company’s Head of Recruitment,
“Some pre-covid jobs seem to be returning, and we thankfully have a long list of individuals who were working and relient on jobs in the hospitality sector”.
On a local level, Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger says unemployment is 4 percent, which is lower than the national average. The reasons behind the worker shortage are complex and wide ranging.
Coppinger pointed out a drop in female participants in the workforce
since the start of the pandemic.
The Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce says employers are having to get creative with attracting new talent, with several initiatives underway Chattanooga.
Meanwhile firms like GEasy HR have launch exciting online campaigns to get workers back. The company is able to supply staff to its clients, despite the state-wide problems because of its flexible pool of workers and constant innovation.
