Yes, you got the major message at the end about information. The way I see it as a client, there is endless info I would love to have quickly and easily provided by my staffing agency. Some topics are trends in employment, trends you're seeing with candidates (their experience levels, their education, their soft skills), tips on managing generations of workers, and one of the biggest is compensation. That's huge. What are other co's paying for positions similar to what I employ. Take a 360 look at everything that touches a company when it comes to staffing. Start asking your clients what they want, it's a great reason to call them (make it brief and about them!) and just say you have the top five areas your clients want info on and see what they say. Make up a list of what you think are the top five ares (put comp) as #1. I love this area because there's a wealth of opportunity out there for anyone who is a creative and an innovative thinker. Next week's blog will be of interest because I will give you a marketing secret tool that agencies have right at their fingertips. Alphonse,

What hit home for me is your last point. That agencies possess a wealth of knowledge and that they don't share with their clients. I am not surprised but I did not know that Clients continually seek information. What kind of information are you talking about? As the marketing coordinator of my agency, I am constantly looking to attract client with quality content but I just don't know what the clients want. If I knew, I would gladly share with them through our integrated marketing-communication strategies. Thank you again! First, I would like to thank you for your post and your quality.
