August, closed. Setup, complete. Wellness got real attention, peak season prep started early, and a few thousand people made a move on their next opportunity.

Before September takes over, fill in the blank:
"This fall, I'm going to ______."

Your competitors are staffing for peak season right now. The math is simple. The labor pool tightens every week between here and Q4, employers who lock in pipelines in August get first pick, and everyone else pays rush prices for what's left.

Peak season rewards the prepared. Let's get you ready.

On Women's Equality Day, we recognize the women who move work forward, from production floors to boardrooms and everywhere in between.

Equality is a standard you build every day: in who gets hired, who gets heard, and who leads. To the women shaping the workforce, we see you, and we're better because of you.

Workers increasingly see their employer relationship as a "situationship," with nearly 60% unsure of their long-term future at their company. Retirees are underestimating health care costs, now averaging $185,500 for a 65-year-old retiring in 2026. And McKinsey sees robotics creating more than $1 trillion in annual economic value by 2040, powered by human-machine collaboration rather than job replacement.

Unpopular opinion: the most impressive interview answer usually loses to the most specific one.

"I'm a hard worker" tells a hiring manager nothing. "I caught a scheduling error that saved my last team a missed shipment" tells them everything. Try bringing specifics into your next job interview and watch the results.

According to Indeed's Laura Ullrich and Glassdoor's Daniel Zhao, senior-level job postings have climbed 15% as employers seek experienced talent to lead AI adoption, even as limited hiring and career mobility leave workers with less leverage and lower confidence than the headline numbers suggest.

Their advice for employers: rebuilding trust depends less on compensation and more on transparent communication, clear career pathways, and stable leadership.

Congratulations to Celeste Randall, our VP of Solutions Design and Service Delivery, on being named to the 2026 Talent 100.

The list, organized by Noon AI, recognizes 100 people moving HR and talent acquisition forward. About half of the honorees are nominated by peers in the industry, half by a committee of senior practitioners who go looking for leaders who haven't gotten enough credit yet. No fees. No applications. You get on it because of the work.

Celeste started out in high-volume call centers and sales before she found her way into staffing. Today she designs and implements the large-scale recruiting programs behind our enterprise partnerships. From her profile: "AI doesn't fix broken systems. It works best when it supports strong foundations."

That has been her approach the whole time. Get the foundation right, then scale it.

We're proud of you, Celeste.
