📰 Big news for the Buffalo tech community this week! The Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse region secured $40 million in federal funding as a tech hub supporting the national effort to increase American semiconductor manufacturing. “This is the federal government saying that the I-90 corridor is America’s semiconductor superhighway," New York Senator Chuck Schumer said. Out of 400 applications, and after a year-long process, this upstate New York regional tech hub was one of just 12 selected to receive funding from the CHIPS and Science Act. #Technology #Manufacturing #Buffalo

Episode 15 of #ClaireShares is here, and this week we're shining a light on how to distribute your job postings and find the ideal candidates you're looking for! From popular sites like LinkedIn, Indeed and ZipRecruiter, to niche communities like Slack and Discord, industry-specific platforms, alumni networks and more, I'll cover it all. 😊 The key here is finding the right platform to engage on depending on the needs of your organization. And remember, good talent attraction practices and building relationships with candidates is a long-game, so start today! And throughout that process, leverage your networks and personal brand to attract more of the candidates you're looking for. 💙 💛 Send me a message if you have any questions! I'd love to help you. 😊 #BeALighthouse #TalentAttraction #JobPostings

Job postings are meant to call the right person in! Salary transparency isn't a requirement for job postings in all parts of the country. But more and more states are beginning to mandate this as a legal requirement - New York instituted such a rule in September 2023. Having a well-defined range, and letting candidates know some of the factors that could affect where they may fall in that range, goes a long way towards attracting the right candidates to your open jobs! Make sure to catch up on episode 14 of #ClaireShares with Claire Stroh, MBA, PHR, SHRM-CP for more tips on creating effective job descriptions. Tomorrow, Claire will share episode 15 on distributing those job postings, to enhance that call you're putting out to the candidates you are seeking!

A general, vague job posting doesn't benefit anyone - the candidates applying, or the hiring team reviewing applicants. Specificity is key, but maybe not in the way you think. Some specificity in the skills and experience required helps potential applicants self-qualify if the job is right for them. Add too many specifics, though, and you risk turning away great people who might excel in the role but may not fit all the must-haves. And as Claire Stroh, MBA, PHR, SHRM-CP explains below, candidates want to learn more than just what's required of the job! Can they see how they would fit as an employee on your team? Some specificity in sharing core aspects of your culture can help attract great people who you want to apply.

How do you define whether an applicant is qualified? Is it their past experience and what they have learned to do? Or is their capacity to apply that experience and do the job successfully in the future? In all likelihood, it's a bit of both. But depending on the role you're recruiting for, really challenge what your must-haves are, and how those appear to candidates considering applying to your open jobs. A job posting is a marketing asset designed to attract the right candidates for your team. Our latest episode of #ClaireShares with Claire Stroh, MBA, PHR, SHRM-CP is your guide to creating effective job postings in your company!

Today, Lighthouse Technology Services co-hosted the Cereal Social with Serendipity Labs here in the Seneca One building. We had an awesome turnout and it was great to meet new people and get together for some morning networking! Fun fact, the water in the right hand corner of this photo was "fruity pebbles" flavored. How creative! Check out the next Cereal Social where I'm told there will be a surprise guest, July 18th!

Cereal Social is on!! Come on up to Seredipidy Labs on Floor 29 of Seneca One and say Hi! if you’re around this morning!
