The American Staffing Association strives to provide programs and services that exceed your expectations. The annual member satisfaction survey—which is now open—is an opportunity for you to tell the association how it’s doing. Your participation is critical in helping ASA learn what is important to you and how well the association is serving you.

ASA members should have received a link to the short survey. Responses are due next Friday, June 30. If you have questions or did not receive a survey link, contact Tim Hulley at 703-253-1154 or thulley@americanstaffing.net.

One of the top issues of concern for staffing and recruiting professionals continues to be how they can grow their talent pipeline and overcome the ongoing talent shortage. Communicating to job seekers in a way that resonates with them and captures their interest has never been more critical.

ASA conducted extensive research to understand the mindset of today’s job seeker and has created an online course in conjunction with the New Language of Staffing research and resulting strategies. The course—exclusively for staffing professionals with ASA member firms—features video modules, online quizzes, and more. ASA-certified professionals who complete the course can earn continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal.
