Chris Schwenk’s Take on Trends in the Staffing Industry
Chris is someone who keeps his finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the staffing world. He’s noticed the ongoing debate between working in the office versus working remotely, especially after the pandemic. “Companies are in a bind. People are equally if not more productive when working at home, but there are still these large overheads for office buildings and the effect it has workplace markets is extreme.” He went on to explain how companies are trying to incentivize people to come back because of the negative effect empty offices have on nearby restaurants, food trucks, coffee shops, and other businesses. When not staying current on job trends, he also keeps his skills up to date. “Right now, Python Engineering is big, anything AI or cloud related. Knowing these skills will definitely keep you marketable.”
