The US unemployment rate continues its downward trend, and while that's good news for our slowly growing economy, that collective groan you hear just might be from people like me who are responsible for finding good talent.
Kronos® continues to grow at an astounding rate, with revenues projected to top $1 billion, which means that the market for Kronos consultants will remain fairly stable. We anticipate this to be true even as Kronos® moves to shift more of its clients to the Cloud. So, not to channel Sam Roberts, but - where have all the consultants gone?
An interesting trend that we have noted lately is that many companies are aggressively recruiting consultants to full-time positions. In the last six months, at least three excellent WFM consultants with whom we have worked for many years were made "offers they couldn't refuse" (and yes, I am hoping this doesn't mean they woke up with a horse's head in the bed). Others are kept very busy on contract jobs as the industry scrambles to upgrade to the latest version of Kronos WTK (spoiler alert: I hear version 8.0 will be released early next year - expect to hear more at KronosWorks 2014 in Vegas)!
This is my long-winded way of telling you that we are actively recruiting Kronos consultants. Who are we looking for?
The individual who will find us the perfect fit is a self-starter, a team player, and is willing to speak up and be heard. With a strong business and systems background, our perfect team member blends good practices with common sense, is able to see the big picture and is willing to work on any part of the project that needs help. Our ideal candidate fights hard for the success of our clients, and is committed to growing with our company.
We typically look for Applications Consultants who can implement workforce management solutions into client sites. Our consultants interact with our clients in a variety of industries and settings, including on-site and telecommuting opportunities, but primarily work on upgrades and/or implementations. We require a minimum of 7 years of experience with the Kronos suite of applications.
We have an abundance of work - if you or anyone you know is between contracts or coming off of a contract, please email your resume to me, Amy Doughten doughten(at)improvizations(dot)com, and I promise to contact you within 48 hours. Come work with us!
