Press Room

New York, NY -- Given the proliferation of social media and the hesitation of corporations to hire in the last few years, the staffing industry has undergone many changes to adapt to changing economic times and emerging technology trends. Social media has changed the way recruiters communicate with, search for and screen candidates and broadcast job vacancies. The changing economic markets has put a greater emphasis for staffing firms to have clear engagement contracts and fee structures while understanding their legal obligations.

At the September 13, 2012 "NJSA Law Day" event hosted by the New Jersey Staffing Alliance, Joel Klarreich covered the best practices of social media for recruiters and sales staff and, in another interactive session, he discussed the legal essentials for staffing managers and owners to protect themselves.
