#WeAreGreenKey: Spotlight on Kornelia Klukowska

Welcome back to #WeAreGreenKey, where we shine a spotlight on our powerhouse recruiting team. 

We recently chatted with Kornelia Klukowska, Executive Recruiter on the Accounting and Finance National team at Green Key. Coming directly from the accounting industry, Kornelia started her recruiting career six months ago and is already succeeding tremendously in her role. She elaborated on her time at Green Key thus far and how she believes her previous experience in accounting has helped her thrive here.  

What about recruiting first sparked your interest? 

I used to be an accountant, which was what I majored in while in college. I enjoyed it, but I’m more of a people-person, so I always wanted to find ways to help people. One of my good friends was a recruiter and said so many good things about it. I felt like I needed a change that was more interactive. I started at Green Key this past January and it’s been an amazing six months.  

What motivates you as a recruiter? 

People who are super thankful after placement. Sometimes you can really change someone’s life, whether it’s through their salary or something else that bettered their circumstance. The rewarding feeling afterward is what keeps me coming back.  

What is the most important thing you’ve learned about recruiting thus far? 

It’s so important to be personable and get to know your candidates. You have to really learn the ins and outs of their life in order to work with them properly and accustom to their needs. 

What are your goals moving forward? 

Hopefully soon I’ll be able to lead my first job and keep moving up. Eventually I would love to take a leadership position.  

What has your training looked like so far? 

I definitely want to give a shout out to my team; they’re amazing! I’ve never bonded with coworkers in previous roles like I do now, which is funny, because I’ve never met them in person. Everyone on the National team is really great and I feel like I know them on a personal level. 

What sets Green Key apart from other staffing agencies? 

On our team, our recruiters actually care about their candidates and are very personable. We have a mentality to always keep our purpose in mind, to always stay in contact and maintain honesty.  

How do you feel like your career in accounting helps you in your role? 

Having a background in accounting, especially at a Big 4, has helped a lot in this role. Being young and able to give career path advice to candidates is invaluable. I still have more to learn about certain industries, but my experience set a good foundation for me. It’s given me a lot more confidence as an accounting and finance recruiter.

Temporary Staffing Jobs In 2028

We came across an interesting analysis of what the next 10 years of temporary employment may look like. It’s based on the biennial 10-year projections of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The government’s outlook is that overall non-farm employment will grow by a somewhat anemic 5.6% through 2028. Temporary help services — temporary workers provided by staffing firms like us — will grow by 2.3%. These are projections, which, though based on all sorts of data and history, amount to best guesses.

When you drill down, as analyst Bruce Steinberg does, the projections become more useful and more reliable. For example, the BLS projects that temporary office and administrative jobs, which make up a significant percentage of all temporary help, will decline by 2028. It’s the only category other than the farming, fishing and forestry category to lose positions.

Why the decline? In a word, automation. In discussing the outlook for all office and administrative support occupations, the BLS says, “Technology is expected to substitute or supplant some functions that workers in office and administrative support occupations do.”

Truck drivers, and the laborers who move and handle goods by hand, taxi drivers and some others that make up the transportation and material moving occupations, are the single largest percentage of temp workers placed by agencies. It’s a category the government expects will still be the largest percentage of temp workers in 2028. That’s mostly due to the projected increase in laborers. Their numbers are expected to increase by 27,600 or 3.7%.

What’s curious about the government’s outlook is that it expects the country’s need for truck and other motor vehicle operators to also grow. We say curious because almost not a week goes by without news of more autonomous trucks being tested. Could be that the predictions of fleets of driverless trucks by 2028 might be a bit too optimistic.

At the top of the fastest growing temp jobs is an unexpected group – lawyers. Over the 10 years covered by the BLS and Steinberg’s report, temporary lawyer jobs will grow 15.7%. But that only amounts to an additional 1,200 more jobs, since the total temp lawyer workforce of employment agencies will total 8,600.

Besides covering the various temporary employment occupations, Steinberg also includes charts showing the jobs with the most growth (home health aides +36.6%, personal care aides +36.4% and software developers +25.6% are the top three) and those that will lose jobs (word processors and typists -33.8%; data entry -23.2% and postal workers and switchboard operators both down 23.8%).

It isn’t too hard to figure out what’s behind both the increases and decreases — automation and artificial intelligence. The jobs that can be automated will be. Those requiring a human touch and advanced cognitive skills, nurses, accountants, market analysts, health care workers, and cooks and chefs among them, will grow.

Green Key Unlocked: LinkedIn Profile Tips to Attract Recruiters

In today’s competitive job market, having a strong LinkedIn profile is essential for career success. Whether you’re actively job hunting or simply want to expand your professional network, an optimized profile can make a significant difference in a tight market. We caught up with Brooke Stemen, Director of Talent Acquisition to share a few tips to help you boost your LinkedIn presence and catch the attention of recruiters.

Optimize Your Profile

Start by ensuring that your profile is complete and up to date. Use a professional profile picture and write a compelling headline that summarizes your expertise and value proposition. Also, be sure to customize your URL to include your name for a clean and professional look. Stemen elaborates, “Think of your profile as your first impression, you always want to put your best foot forward and present yourself in a professional manner.”

Craft a Compelling Summary

In short, your LinkedIn summary is your opportunity to tell your professional story and highlight your unique strengths and experiences. LinkedIn goes further to say, “It’s an open-ended space (sort of; 2,600 characters max) where you give an overview of your professional life. Your summary or About section is the one place you define yourself in your own words, free of start dates and titles. Whether you use it to put career choices in context, highlight your biggest achievements, or show off your personality, the summary is your chance to put your best self out there. It strengthens your first impression in a way no other Profile section can.”

Highlight Your Achievements

Don’t just list your responsibilities- highlight your accomplishments and accolades. Most importantly quantify your impact whenever possible. Use bullet points to showcase key accomplishments and demonstrate your value to potential employers or clients. Whether you were employee of the month or winning incentive trips, your resume and LinkedIn is not a place to downplay your impact and achievements.

Utilize Keywords

Incorporate relevant keywords throughout your profile to increase your visibility in LinkedIn searches. Recruiters source candidate profiles by using keywords you can list on your profile to find the best candidates for their open roles. Stemen describes it as, “Think of it as optimizing your ‘Recruiter SEO’” by adding hard and soft skills, tools, systems, industry terms, and job titles that recruiters or clients might use when looking for someone with your expertise, and make sure to include them in your profile.

Build Your Network

Connect with colleagues, classmates, mentors, and industry professionals and recruiters to expand your network and increase your reach and network. Not only is this a fantastic way to stay knowledgeable about what is going on in your industry and connect to leaders in your field, it may connect you to your next role. Be sure to personalize your connection requests whenever possible to make a meaningful connection. Recruiters are constantly posting about their hot jobs, by staying connected to recruiters in your industry you may just scroll past your dream job one day.

Engage with Content and Stay Active

Share valuable content, engage, and comment on posts, and connect with others in your network to demonstrate expertise and stay top of mind. Regularly update your profile with new achievements and stay active by posting and engaging with industry insights and celebrating your colleagues’ wins, ensuring a strong presence and ongoing professional growth.

By implementing these strategies, you can elevate your LinkedIn profile and position yourself as a standout professional in your industry. Remember, LinkedIn is not just a digital resume- it’s a powerful platform for building your personal brand, expanding your network, and unlocking new opportunities.
