Staffmark

Why should a job seeker or a client care that Staffmark Group has an internal advisory board?

Because it means the people behind our seven Business Resource Group Alliances now have a direct line to senior leadership, and that turns into real support for the talent we place and the clients we serve.

Jennifer Fitzpatrick, our SMG R.I.S.E. Chair, breaks down what changed and why it matters beyond our four walls: https://smgroupna.com/smg-rise-shaping-opportunity/

Thanks for leading this work Jenn!

SMG R.I.S.E.: Shaping Opportunity | Staffmark Group SMG R.I.S.E. moved from a single Alliance to Staffmark Group's Advisory Board, shaping opportunity in hiring, careers, and belonging at every level.

August has a reputation as the slow month. The people who finish 2026 strong know better.
While everyone else waits for September, this is when smart moves get made: pipelines built, resumes sharpened, plans locked.

What are you setting up this month?

August is National Wellness Month and this month, we're spending it on what actually sustains great work: rest, boundaries, and teams that look out for each other. Wellbeing is a strategy. The strongest careers and companies are built by people who treat it like one.

"The best career decision I ever made was ___________."

Maybe it was taking the job that scared you. Walking away from the one that drained you. Betting on yourself when no one else would. We learn the most from each other's turning points, so share yours.

Your story might be the nudge someone else needs today.

July's almost a wrap and there's still time to make it count. If you spent the month meaning to update your résumé, explore new roles, or finally apply, the good news is simple: the next chapter doesn't start in August. It starts the moment you decide.

The people who change their careers don't wait for a fresh calendar page. They move while the idea's still warm.

So before the month closes: what's the one move you've been putting off? Make it this weekend.
We'll be here, ready to help you take the next step.

The best interview answer isn't the most impressive one. It's the most honest one, told well. Hiring managers can spot a rehearsed line from across the room.

What actually lands? A real story. The problem you faced, the move you made, what you learned. Specifics beat buzzwords every time.

Three quick prep moves before your next interview:
→ Pick 3 stories that show how you think, not just what you did.
→ Research one real thing about the company and bring it up.
→ End with a question that proves you're already thinking like part of the team.

You're not there to be perfect. You're there to be memorable.

Manufacturing continues to outperform expectations.

The ISM Manufacturing PMI expanded for the sixth consecutive month in June, supported by strong new orders and growing production activity. Yet manufacturers remain cautious about hiring, highlighting the ongoing tension between healthy demand and economic uncertainty.

Thirty-six years ago this week, the Americans with Disabilities Act changed what opportunity looks like in this country.

It affirmed a simple, powerful idea: talent isn't defined by limitation, and the workplace should be built for everyone ready to contribute.

More than three decades later the work continues, not as a box to check, but as a belief worth living. The most resilient teams make room for every kind of strength, every way of thinking, every path to the table.

Access to opportunity makes all of us stronger. That's not just good values. It's good business.
To everyone building more inclusive workplaces: keep going.

Strong businesses aren't built alone. They're built with allies who show up before the problem does. When a manufacturing partner came to us facing a seasonal ramp they couldn't staff fast enough, the easy move would've been to send résumés and hope.

Instead, we built a plan: the right roles, the right people, a pipeline ready before the surge hit.

The result wasn't just filled positions. It was a production line that never slowed and a team that could focus on growth instead of gaps.

That's the difference between a vendor and an ally. One reacts. The other helps you stay three steps ahead.
