Tips with the Talent Advisors is a series of helpful tips that aim to enhance your professional development and career growth. Anna Castrodes, a Senior Talent Advisor at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, shares a valuable insight on how to prepare for a job interview.

Contemplating adding “find a new position” to your 2024 New Year’s resolution list? Year-end (now) is the time to assemble your strategy. New hires spike at the end of Q1 and the beginning of Q2. That, in part, is due to those who have already found their job and are waiting for their bonus, but many firms with Jan-Dec fiscal years are back in hiring mode. New positions are posted in Jan/Feb, and the interview cycle takes us to the end of Q1 or into Q2. If you want to have a chance to explore your value in the market at what is historically one of the most active times, don’t wait until mid-January.  Contact us now to discuss your practice and priorities, and we will customize a search strategy based on your unique goals.

Begin Again 🔰 Incorporating second chance opportunities requires thoughtful planning, support systems, and collaboration between government agencies, nonprofits, employers, and the community. By focusing on the potential for positive change and the societal benefits, second chance initiatives can play a vital role in promoting rehabilitation, reintegration, and a more just society. #IMPACT #COMMUNITY #EMPLOYERS #DELAWARE #REGISTRATION

Freeing Your Talent: The FTC's Game-Changing Move on Noncompetes If you've been following the business buzz, you've heard about the FTC's big move on noncompete agreements. Yep, those contracts that can feel like invisible shackles for your top talent. States like California and Washington, D.C., have been booting noncompetes, and others, like Colorado and Virginia, are scaling back. But the FTC's decision ramps things up, potentially making it easier for your employees to break free. Sounds like a win for workers, right? But hold on—there's a legal showdown brewing. Some big names aren't thrilled and are gearing up for court. Before you panic about your trade secrets, know this: while the FTC's ruling might complicate things, there are exceptions, especially for top dogs in the C-suite. If your employee makes over $152k and has policy-making authority, there's an exception on existing agreements (but not for new agreement). But for the rest of your crew, those noncompetes might not pack the same punch. And here's the twist: not every industry plays by the same rules. Banks and certain nonprofits get a pass, while others have to toe the line. Lawsuits are already flying, with bigwigs squaring off against the FTC. Buckle up—it's gonna be a bumpy ride. So, what's the bottom line? It's time to reassess those noncompetes. Are they still worth it in this new world? Only time will tell, but change is coming fast, and you don't want to be left behind. 🛎 Like to stay up-to-date on recruiting? Sign up for our newsletter on elraysearch.com

Recruiter friends - at this stage of the market, the most important thing you can pitch to a candidate is not the names of your client's investors, the amount they've raised, or the 2021 valuation they raised at - it's traction. Marketer friends - at this stage of the market, the most important thing you can evaluate a company on is not the names of the investors, the amount they've raised, or the 2021 valuation they raised at - it's traction. Traction = - New Logo Acquisition - Gross Revenue Added - Gross Revenue Retention - Net Revenue Retention - Burn rate - Runway You can't always share all this stuff. You can't always get answers to all this stuff. But you should still make it a habit to ask and share if you can.
