Recently, Jimmy has been reading "The Dream Manager" by Matthew Kelly. The author's insights reveal a powerful truth: 👉 Many of our internal employees have dreams that remain unfulfilled. 👉 Some may not even realize they can dream bigger. 👉 Others may lack the resources or guidance to achieve those dreams. It's time to make a positive shift. Here’s our take on what a leader would want to know when managing their team: Identifying Aspirations: - Encouraging every team member to reflect on their dreams. - Creating an environment where it's safe to share and explore those dreams. Providing Resources: - If you have a dream, let's discuss how you can achieve it. - Every dream deserves breaking down the components step-by-step. Supporting Life Beyond Work: - Offering guidance on various goals like travel, education, and personal development. - Providing tools and resources to make these dreams a reality. We’re not just about work; we’re about life. We believe in supporting each team member's vision and goals, because we know the value of a healthy team—their fulfilled life leads to a fulfilled team.

According to her sons, Bobbi is the world's greatest mom. To her husband, she is the world's greatest wife. To us, she is the glue that holds everything together, even the shingles on the roof. Without a doubt, Bobbi is our operational extraordinaire. Her dedication and versatility shine through in her role here at CRG where she oversees the in-house accounting activities. She ensures that the financial operations of the company run smoothly and manages our technology and travel arrangements, faithfully keeping our engines running behind the scenes. Bobbi and her husband have been married for 28 years, raising their three boys together and even marrying one off a few years ago! When Bobbi is not managing her responsibilities as President of the McKinney HS Football Booster club, accepting the award for Special Delivery Parent of the Year, or meticulously managing operations at Cross, she's likely on a sunny vacation with her family near a body of water or back in her home state of North Carolina. Bobbi finds immense satisfaction in the collaborative efforts and outstanding team chemistry at CRG. She cherishes the supportive and enjoyable work environment fostered by her colleagues, which amplifies her passion for her job.

We often speak about relational solutions, and in today's fast-paced business environment, the value of personal connections cannot be overstated. Here are a few key strategies we use to foster these connections: 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲 - This strategy not only lays a stable foundation for our partnership but also ensures that our services can be seamlessly integrated within their organization. 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 - The phrase "shaking hands and kissing babies" perfectly encapsulates the essence of grassroots networking—getting out there, smiling, and engaging with the community on a personal level. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 - Building trust and securing business through face-to-face interactions and understanding company culture is critical.

Six months ago, we partnered with a food and beverage manufacturer based in North Carolina. Due to rapid market growth and rising product demand, they needed help expanding their workforce with precision on a tight timeline. Here’s what they told us: 📌 We need to expand our engineering department by 30%. 📌 We need 1 Maintenance Manager, 1 Maintenance Manager, 3 senior engineers and 7 technicians. 📌 We can’t settle for candidates who aren’t technically qualified or a true cultural fit. 📌 We have 3-6 months before this goes beyond mission-critical. The challenge was clear: scale rapidly while finding top-tier, specialized talent. We know from experience that balancing volume with precision is no small feat. Enter our recruitment team, led by Michael. Here’s how we tackled it: ✏️ We crafted a tailored recruitment plan, knowing these matters require a calculated and precise approach. ✏️ We scheduled a myriad of interviews, ensuring candidates met both technical and cultural criteria along with industry knowledge. ✏️ Despite the difficulty, we secured senior-level talent before finalizing the technician team. In less than four months, we successfully expanded their engineering department, playing a pivotal role in the growth of the company. We are now their preferred recruiting firm, fulfilling their staffing needs nationwide. Here are some significant stats from the project: ☑️ We submitted the winning candidate for a Manufacturing Engineer within four days. ☑️ We placed a Controls Engineer within two months. ☑️ We filled the Maintenance Manager role in less than three weeks. ☑️ For Maintenance Techs, we’ve submitted 28 candidates, with 18 interviews and 8 offers since mid-December. Our work impacts the trajectories of businesses and the careers of those behind them. That’s why we’re always committed to placing the right people in the right seats, ensuring future success for all. #hiring #recruiting #jobplacement #careeropportunities #humanresources #staffingfirm #crossresourcegroup

The "war for talent" has been heating up recently, and it’s a whole new ball game. Candidates now have more power than ever, demanding higher salaries, better benefits, and flexible working arrangements. The days of the rigid 8-to-5, Monday-to-Friday job are fading. Our clients have adjusted creatively and offer more dynamic work setups to attract and keep the best candidates. The theme has been about meeting the modern workforce where they are. We noticed this shift after 9/11. Initially, there was a big drop in jobs, leading to a surplus of candidates. As things settled and the market grew again, we hit a candidate shortage. It's been a constant rollercoaster of supply and demand. COVID-19 brought another wave of change. The job market shrank, but companies showed real grit, pushing through and still creating jobs even in tough circumstances. Over the past 20 years, businesses have become more resilient, learning to weather recessions and downturns with impressive perseverance. In this ever-changing landscape, we encourage our clients to stay flexible and open-minded. Those companies that can adapt to these new expectations will have the edge in securing the talent they need. It’s all about staying competitive and ensuring growth and stability in a market that’s constantly in flux. #hiring #recruiting #jobplacement #careeropportunities #humanresources #staffingfirm #crossresourcegroup

In a post-COVID world, many candidates have transitioned to seeking remote work opportunities. Our firm utilizes digital communication tools to stay connected. Even still, the importance of in-person interactions cannot be overstated. Most of our team works from home, with only a few reporting to our headquarters in Anna or the Bryan office. Regardless, it is true that maintaining a strong sense of connectedness is critical to thrive as a team. This is why in-person interactions remain critical for our success. That's why we host quarterly culture meetings. These gatherings allow us to physically come together, discuss our business, address our strengths and weaknesses, and develop strategies for improvement. Being in the same room fosters a sense of unity and helps us refine our processes, ensuring we work more effectively as a team. These touchpoints are vital, especially since our day-to-day interactions are predominantly virtual. We also recognize the efforts of our CARE team in keeping everyone engaged and supported. They ensure our remote employees feel connected, appreciated, and trusted. By prioritizing the needs of our team and incorporating flexibility into their workday, we’ve created an environment where everyone feels valued. We encourage our clients to foster the same culture to increase employee retention and attract culture-aligned candidates. Balancing regular virtual communication with periodic in-person meetings helps us maintain a strong, cohesive team, no matter where we are working from. #hiring #recruiting #jobplacement #careeropportunities #humanresources #staffingfirm #crossresourcegroup
