On the whole, the NJ unemployment rate was 9.7%. Monmouth county unemployment rate was 8.7% and Ocean County: 10.0%.

Here at BDES, we are seeing a slight improvement over last year at this time.

Message from Barbara:

We currently have many talented candidates available! Many of these candidates are now ready to accept temporary and temp to hire positions.

This method of hiring can save you valuable time and money in sourcing quality personnel. First, you interview a qualified candidate. Second, offer an opportunity for the screened individual. Third,observe the temp on the job. Fourth, after you have had a chance to evaluate their performance in the position and you are satisfied, offer the candidate a full time job with your organization!

You will eliminate the time to interview many unqualified candidates and reduce the chance of having to eliminate a non productive employee, reducing the possible legal and emotional ramifications of firing an employee.
