Why do people talk to recruiters…the answer may seem obvious, because they need a job. BUT, this is not always the case, and a trend we’ve been seeing more of lately!

It is officially the first day of summer, and it's looking like it’s going to be a hot one! I mentioned this in my newsletter last week. Also, we welcomed another rescue to join our pack—meet Tilly! She is a 4.5-year-old AKC-registered yellow lab.

I am often asked what has kept PeopleZest going, what has made it successful? One of my top answers is always—relationships. Relationships can be tricky to navigate, though. Some are easily formed, others take work.

This year is flying by already and we can’t believe April is here, spring is in full bloom at the farm! We can all get so busy with everyday life that we forget to take a moment to think about our life and career goals. Do you ever stop and ponder the possibility of a career move or where you would like to be long-term?

It’s hard to believe twenty years have passed by since I first started PeopleZest! Two decades ago I left a company I loved, JPI—to go out on my own. Working there was one of the best experiences I have had in my career.

March marks the 20th anniversary of PeopleZest as an executive recruiting company. There are so many moments to celebrate: past, present, and future. First, though, we thought it would be fun to have the owner, Jonna, answer a few questions about herself!

Like many of you, the beginning of the year for peoplezest is about reflection, growth, and priorities. It is a time to look back on last year and review what worked, what didn’t, and how that can intentionally transition into progression for this year.

Fall has settled in with crisp days and longer nights, and some areas have even seen their first snowfall! November is a special month of gratitude and giving.

From the interview process to the offer letter, the focus on landing that perfect career opportunity is often placed on the job seeker's side. In today’s employee market, with news everywhere about the complexities of finding and retaining top talent, it is easy to focus on the candidate responsibilities in the process.
