Three Books Every Manager Should Read in 2018

Knowledge is power. Whether you’re looking for new jobs in Allentown, PA or trying to fill open positions on your team, the more you know, the better the outcome.

Being a manager is hard work. Chances are, your team is made up of a very unique group of individuals who require different things from you. There’s no handbook to explain the most effective way to reach each person, so you just have to do your best.

Reading the words of other managers and business experts can be monumentally helpful. Since January is one of the chilliest months of the year, stay inside and occupy your mind with these three incredible reads.

CEO Letter

As a staffing and recruitment professional for over  30 years, I have seen many changes in the industry. Over that time, I’ve witnessed a transformation in the way organizations view staffing services. Today, we see more and more companies using staffing services as a strategic tool, rather than just for temporary fill-ins.

At HTSS, Inc., our focus is on helping companies create proactive workforce plans. Our goal is to help our clients use staffing strategically to increase capacity, overcome hiring freezes, access specialized talent, better manage increased workloads, and enhance overall productivity.

For our candidates, we help to uncover truly rewarding job opportunities—jobs that are a match to each candidate’s skills, and jobs that offer key experience and growth potential.

We look forward to strengthening our relationships with our current clients and candidates, as well as forming new and exciting partnerships in the future.

Sincerely,

Pat Howells
