Mike Rasmussen, CIR, PRC, SHRM-CP, Sr. Talent Advisor, The Source and Recruit Company
The Source and Recruit Company is a unique partner and I’ll get into why below, but first some important perspective that I think sets the tone on why a value-added Recruitment Services partner needs to be considered in 2023.
Fact: the hiring atmosphere is still competitive. Case in point with data on regions we actively market to:
What is the takeaway from this data? The hiring landscape is still one that is tough to handle for organizations of all sizes. Candidates have options. Some sectors may have been hit with layoffs, tech for one, but other sectors such as construction are still in dire need of workers. A statistic provided by Construction Dive, a Construction Industry news hub, quoted the Associated General Contractors of America that 91% of all contractors struggle to find workers.

So, who am I? I’m the Source and Recruit Company’s newest hire – Mike Rasmussen. After 3 months observing the operation, the knowledge, the eagerness, and the excitement of making our clients smile, I’ve found the culture to be well – rather refreshing. I’ve worked in corporate recruiting, so I understand having a 30+ requisition workload and having a desperate need for help. I’ve been on the agency side too and experienced the realities of organizations struggling to fill positions. I’ve sat through '“Request for Proposals” from the inside to find “preferred staffing vendors”. In every instance I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly from what staffing firms have to offer. In all my years of experience – I’ve never encountered a model so genuinely designed to benefit the client as I’ve found here at The Source and Recruit Company.
As I look at my market in Utah with a current 2.4% unemployment rate, I’m thrilled to be able to offer a service that most Utah employers haven’t experienced before. I look forward to getting to know more about my local market and understanding its needs.
