The Advantages of Global Hiring

Hiring IT talent from around the world offers several benefits:

1. Access to a Diverse Talent Pool:

3. Increased Flexibility:

● Remote work offers flexibility for employees, leading to higher job satisfaction and retention rates.

4. 24/7 Productivity:

● With team members in different time zones, companies can achieve continuous productivity and faster project turnaround times.

Strategies for Hiring Top IT Talent Globally

1. Utilize Global Job Boards:

● Post job openings on global job boards and platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor to reach a wider audience.

2. Leverage Remote Work Platforms:

10. Provide Continuous Learning Opportunities:

A word on Wardpark/Cumbernauld Studios

@docsama left a comment, on S's birthday, under one of my posts and I promised her an answer with more information, as soon as I got the time. Anyway, here goes - and @docsama, sorry for the delay:

Question is: who owns the Wardpark Film and Television Studios?

The answer was quick to find, in the not-so-old specialized media:

The story begins in 2013, with an ambitious Scottish entrepreneur, Terry Thomson - this guy (courtesy of The Herald, https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/15984820.analysis-three-projects-pipeline-help-productions-make-big-picture/):

He is the owner of the Thomson Pettie Group, based in Carluke (https://www.thomsonpettie.com/about-us), which has nothing to do with cinema:

You've read that right: they are 'manufacturers of fabricated metal parts and assemblies', primarily for the national automotive industry. Yet, in 2013, Mr. Thomson agreed to rent what he described as 'a dormant industrial property' - a warehouse, to be exact - to Sony, in order to host the filming and production of OL. Thus, he became the CEO of a newly created entity, The Wardpark Film and Television Studios (https://www.hackmancapital.com/scotlands-largest-most-iconic-film-studio-acquired-by-hackman-capital-partners-and-square-mile-capital/).

By 2017, Wardpark was doing so well, that a big expansion plan was announced, with the direct support of the Scottish Government, which invested £4 million via Scottish Enterprise, its business support, advice and funding agency:

And then, in November 2021, the little engine that could was sold to those two big US investors, Hackman Capital Partners (HCP) and Square Mile Capital Management LLC (now globally rebranded as Affinius Capital). In this montage, Hackman Capital Partners brought its own confirmed film studios and media management expertise...

... while Square Mile most probably funded a sizeable portion of the acquisition, simply because this is what they do best:

Perhaps an interesting detail: HCP owns and manages both the Culver City based Sony Pictures Animation Studios' Campus and the legendary Culver Studios, now rebranded by Amazon:

Back to Scotland, Wardpark Studio's sale made just about everyone happy. Mr. Thomson kept his CEO job and look who was more than thrilled about the juicy transaction:

Currently, the studio is operated by HCP's subsidiary, The MBS Group:

That means that MBS probably manages just about everything, as far as daily management is concerned, from business operations, staffing and/or property management, to lighting and grip, trucks and generators' fleet, expendables and props. Unless I could see a contract and have a precise idea, I can just enumerate all the services they offer.

At no point in time did S and C own anything of those studios. As for the Executive Producer part, that is another discussion entirely. I could be coaxed to write something about it, if you really want to know why Those Two are EPs and what does that really, really mean - because once again, I have seen and read a LOT of bullshit in here, especially in the Desperate Housewives Disgruntled Tumblrettes' corner.

Thank you for asking. It was fun to research and write and I hope it brought more clarity to you.

“The Great Depression reached into every corner of the country, but it did not affect all people equally. For many middle-class women of all races, the depression required certain changes in spending patterns: buying cheaper cuts of meat, feeding the homeless men who stopped at the back door, and doing without new clothes. Some of these women continued to do community volunteer work, raising money for the unemployed. They saw the food lines, but they did not have to join them.

Among women workers, race played an important role. The fierce competition for jobs fueled racial resentments. Mexican-American and African-American women were the first to lose their jobs and the last to get relief from welfare agencies. Often, they were already living on the margin of survival. Before 1933, when the Prohibition amendment making the manufacture or sale of alcoholic beverages illegal was repealed, many of these women turned to bootlegging, making their own beer or liquor and selling it.

…Even relatively prosperous farm women--owners, not tenants--in general produced as much as 70 percent of what their families consumed in clothing, toys, and food. They not only gardened but raised poultry. During the depression, women increased the size of their gardens and the number of their hens. They made more butter from their dairy cows and sold it. They cut up the sacks that held large amounts of flour and sewed them into underwear. In the previous decade, they had proudly begun to participate in a culture of store-bought goods. Now they began to can food again. Government agents dragged huge canning kettles across the mountains of northern New Mexico and eastern Tennessee so that women in remote farming villages could preserve their food.

Even with all this work, rural children suffered from malnutrition, and rural women faced childbirth without a doctor or midwife because they could afford neither the medical fees nor the gasoline for transportation. The women resented their declining standards of living, particularly those from better-off farm families who owned their own farms and had, during the 1920s, aspired to participate in the new domestic technology of indoor bath-rooms, modern stoves and heating, and super cleanliness.

…In 1936, a federal appeals court overruled an earlier law that had classified birth control information as obscene and thus illegal to dispense. That decision still left state laws intact, however. The number of birth control clinics nationwide rose from 55 in 1930 to 300 by 1938, but in some states and in many rural areas women still had no access to birth control. In 1937, North Carolina became the first state to provide contraceptives with tax dollar, and six others soon followed. Ironically, North Carolina’s reasoning was not that birth control was a human right but that birth control would reduce the black population.

Despite statistics showing that black women had fewer babies than white women with similar incomes and living situations, many white southern officials in states with large black populations feared a black population explosion. In 1939, the Birth Control Federation of American responded to eager southern state governments by developing “The Negro Project,” a program to disseminate birth control information, which they carefully staffed with local black community leaders. Whatever the logic, one quarter of all women in the United States in their 20s during the depression never bore children. This was the highest rate of childlessness for any decade. Many people simply decided not to get married, and marriage rates fell.

…In the mass media women seemed to be receiving mixed messages. On the one hand, in 1930, the Ladies’ Home Journal featured a former career woman confessing, “I know now without any hesitation… that [my husband’s job] must come first.” In 1931, the popular magazine Outlook and Independent quoted the dean of Barnard College, a women’s college in New York City, telling her students that “perhaps the greatest service that you can render to the community… is to have the courage to refuse to work for gain.” And on its front page in 1935, the New York Times reported that women “suffering from masculine psychological states” and an “aversion to marriage” were being “cured” by the removal of their adrenal gland. In this atmosphere, not only were women workers under fire, but women who centered their lives on women rather than on men came under attack. Lesbianism was no longer chic. Lesbian bars almost disappeared. Homosexuality was now seen by many people as just one more threat to the family.

On the other hand, movie houses showed zany screwball comedies with more complicated lessons. Often deliciously ditsy, incompetent women were rescued by sensible, capable men. Yet, the men in these movies were frequently portrayed as bumbling or slower-witted than the women. Sometimes the men were people who needed joy and whimsy restored to their lives, not an unexpected theme for a nation in the throes of an economic depression. In other movies, however, women were by no means incompetent. The women portrayed by Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, and Joan Crawford in the 1930s were often intelligent but needed men alternately to tame and to soften them.”

- Sarah Jane Deutsch, “Making Do with Disaster.” in From Ballots to Breadlines: American Women, 1920-1940

Losing my damn mind. I showed up for an interview at a staffing agency for some positions I applied for on Indeed. They were all like data entry, desk jobs etc.

And they suddenly start trying to get me to work intense physical labor jobs in manufacturing or packing facilities??? I physically can't do anything like that.

So I asked about the positions I had actually applied for, and they're just "oh we don't have anything like that".

What the fuck?

Across Alabama, a sprawling and partially interconnected network of suppliers and staffing agencies, many Korean-owned, exists to serve the Hyundai brands. Hyundai operates an assembly plant in Montgomery, the state capital. Kia builds cars across the state line in West Point, Georgia. Both states, so-called “right to work” jurisdictions whose laws allow workers to reject unions and thereby undercut the power of organized labor, have attracted numerous automakers and follow-on investments, as recently as this year, granting them billions of dollars in tax breaks and other incentives along the way. A key element of Hyundai’s supply network is its ability to provide “just-in-time” delivery of parts, a staple of modern manufacturing meant to minimize stockpiles of materials. To avoid halting assembly lines, Hyundai can fine suppliers – sometimes thousands of dollars per minute – for any delay, according to people familiar with its operations. Pressure to deliver, several current and former employees at suppliers told Reuters, intensified in recent years because of the labor and supply shortages that crippled manufacturers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The struggle to meet demand, labor law experts say, has increased chances that employers cut corners to keep assembly lines staffed, whether employees are legally allowed to work or not. “It seems like the stage was set for this to happen,” said Terri Gerstein, director of the state and local enforcement project at Harvard Law School’s Labor and Worklife Program. “Plants in remote, rural areas. A region with low union density. Not enough regulatory enforcement. Use of staffing agencies.” The shortage of labor across manufacturing, and the low pay offered by some plants and agents for factory jobs, often attract job candidates most pressed for work – particularly undocumented migrants and minors. “When you have workers who are desperate for jobs and they’re not empowered and you have a lot of competition, you often see a race to the bottom,” said Jordan Barab, a former deputy assistant secretary at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the federal workplace regulator.

When Carolina left Guatemala, she had no real understanding of what she was heading toward, just a sense that she could not stay in her village any longer. There was not much electricity or water, and after the pandemic began, not much food.

The only people who seemed to be getting by were the families living off remittances from relatives in the United States. Carolina lived alone with her grandmother, whose health began failing. When neighbors started talking about heading north, she decided to join. She was 14.

“I just kept walking,” she said.

Carolina reached the U.S. border exhausted, weighing 84 pounds. Agents sent her to an H.H.S. shelter in Arizona, where a caseworker contacted her aunt, Marcelina Ramirez. Ms. Ramirez was at first reluctant: She had already sponsored two other relatives and had three children of her own. They were living on $600 a week, and she didn’t know Carolina.

When Carolina arrived in Grand Rapids last year, Ms. Ramirez told her she would go to school every morning and suggested that she pick up evening shifts at Hearthside. She knew Carolina needed to send money back to her grandmother. She also believed it was good for young people to work. Child labor is the norm in rural Guatemala, and she herself had started working around the second grade.

One of the nation’s largest contract manufacturers, Hearthside makes and packages food for companies like Frito-Lay, General Mills and Quaker Oats. “It would be hard to find a cookie or cracker aisle in any leading grocer that does not contain multiple products from Hearthside production facilities,” a Grand Rapids-area plant manager told a trade magazine in 2019.

General Mills, whose brands include Cheerios, Lucky Charms and Nature Valley, said it recognized “the seriousness of this situation” and was reviewing The Times’s findings. PepsiCo, which owns Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats, declined to comment.

Three people who until last year worked at one of the biggest employment agencies in Grand Rapids, Forge Industrial Staffing, said Hearthside supervisors were sometimes made aware that they were getting young-looking workers whose identities had been flagged as false.

“Hearthside didn’t care,” said Nubia Malacara, a former Forge employee who said she had also worked at Hearthside as a minor.

In a statement, Hearthside said, “We do care deeply about this issue and are concerned about the mischaracterization of Hearthside.” A spokesman for Forge said it complied with state and federal laws and “would never knowingly employ individuals under 18.”

Why Do Some Companies Struggle with Staffing in Baltimore?

Staffing is a critical component of a company’s success, yet many businesses in Baltimore find themselves struggling to attract and retain talent. With its diverse industries—from manufacturing to healthcare and hospitality—Baltimore’s job market presents unique challenges that can make it difficult for companies to effectively meet their staffing needs. Understanding the reasons behind these struggles is key to overcoming them. Here are some of the main reasons why companies in Baltimore may struggle with staffing.

1. Skills Gaps in the Workforce

One of the most significant challenges facing companies in Baltimore is the skills gap. While there may be a large pool of available workers, many lack the specific qualifications or technical skills that businesses are looking for. This gap can be especially problematic in industries such as manufacturing, technology, and healthcare, where specialized skills are essential for job performance.

Why It’s a Problem for Employers: Companies may spend considerable time and resources searching for candidates with the right qualifications, only to find a limited pool of talent. This delays the hiring process and can result in positions remaining unfilled for extended periods.

How It Affects Job Seekers: For job seekers, the skills gap means that opportunities may be available, but they may not meet the necessary requirements. Many candidates are either overqualified for entry-level positions or underqualified for more technical roles, leaving a mismatch between job seekers and open positions.

Solution: To address this issue, some companies are investing in training and development programs to upskill their current workforce. Partnering with staffing agencies like SI Staffing, which specialize in industries like manufacturing and healthcare, can also help companies find candidates with the necessary skills more efficiently.

2. High Competition for Top Talent

Baltimore’s economy is powered by several thriving industries, which means there is stiff competition among businesses for top-tier talent. From healthcare organizations to tech startups, many companies are vying for the same pool of skilled workers. This competition can drive up salary expectations and make it harder for companies to retain talent.

Why It’s a Problem for Employers: When competition for talent is high, companies may need to offer more competitive compensation packages, including higher salaries, better benefits, and work-life balance incentives. Smaller businesses may find it difficult to compete with larger corporations that have more resources.

How It Affects Job Seekers: For highly qualified job seekers, high competition can work to their advantage, as they may receive multiple offers and be able to negotiate better terms. However, less experienced candidates may struggle to stand out in a crowded job market.

Solution: To stay competitive, companies can focus on improving their work culture, offering flexible work arrangements, and building strong employer branding. Working with a Staffing Agency in Baltimore like SI Staffing can also help companies identify and attract high-quality candidates before their competitors do.

3. High Turnover Rates

Employee turnover is another significant challenge for businesses in Baltimore. In industries like hospitality and retail, turnover rates can be particularly high due to the nature of the work and the availability of alternative job options. High turnover is not only disruptive to business operations but also costly, as companies must continually invest in recruiting, hiring, and training new employees.

Why It’s a Problem for Employers: High turnover can lead to reduced productivity, increased training costs, and a negative impact on team morale. It can also make it difficult to build a cohesive, experienced workforce.

How It Affects Job Seekers: For job seekers, high turnover rates often result in frequent job changes, which can make it difficult to build a stable career path. Constantly switching jobs can also affect job satisfaction and long-term growth opportunities.

Solution: To combat high turnover, companies can focus on employee retention strategies such as offering competitive pay, professional development opportunities, and fostering a positive workplace culture. Partnering with a Staffing Agency in Baltimore for temporary or contract workers can also help fill roles quickly when turnover occurs, minimizing disruptions.

4. Challenges in Finding Cultural Fit

Beyond technical skills, finding candidates who are a good cultural fit for the company is another staffing challenge. A candidate may have the qualifications for a role, but if they don’t align with the company’s values or work culture, it can lead to dissatisfaction on both sides and ultimately, turnover.

Why It’s a Problem for Employers: Hiring someone who isn’t a good cultural fit can negatively impact team dynamics, productivity, and job satisfaction. Employers may face challenges with communication, collaboration, and long-term retention if the candidate doesn’t mesh well with the team.

How It Affects Job Seekers: For job seekers, working in an environment that doesn’t align with their values or preferred work style can lead to disengagement and dissatisfaction, ultimately leading to them seeking new opportunities.

Solution: To improve the chances of finding a cultural fit, companies can refine their recruitment processes to focus on behavioral interviews, personality assessments, and cultural alignment. Staffing agencies that understand the company’s culture, such as SI Staffing, can be valuable partners in identifying candidates who not only have the right skills but also fit well within the company.

5. Inefficient Recruitment Processes

Many companies in Baltimore struggle with inefficient recruitment processes, which can delay hiring and result in missed opportunities to secure top talent. Slow recruitment processes may be caused by a lack of dedicated HR resources, outdated hiring practices, or an overwhelming number of applicants to sift through.

Why It’s a Problem for Employers: A slow or disorganized hiring process can frustrate both employers and job seekers. Top candidates may lose interest or accept offers from other companies if the process takes too long. Additionally, companies may rush to fill positions and end up with poor hires, further exacerbating staffing challenges.

How It Affects Job Seekers: For job seekers, a slow recruitment process can be discouraging, leading them to lose interest or pursue other opportunities. Long gaps in communication can also create a negative perception of the company.

Solution: Streamlining the recruitment process by adopting modern hiring technologies, setting clear timelines, and improving communication with candidates can help address inefficiencies. Partnering with a Staffing Agency in Baltimore like SI Staffing can also expedite the hiring process, as agencies handle much of the screening, interviewing, and candidate selection.

Conclusion

Staffing challenges in Baltimore stem from a variety of factors, including skills gaps, high competition for talent, high turnover rates, cultural mismatches, and inefficient recruitment processes. Addressing these issues requires a strategic approach that includes investing in workforce development, improving employee retention, and refining recruitment practices.

Partnering with a reputable staffing agency like SI Staffing can provide companies with access to skilled candidates, specialized industry expertise, and streamlined hiring processes, helping to overcome these common staffing struggles. For businesses and job seekers alike, understanding and addressing these challenges can lead to better hiring outcomes and long-term success.
