Salt Lake City’s PrincePerelson Scales up for Volume Hiring in Country’s Strongest Job Market

While the pandemic has weighed on economies across the country, Salt Lake City has prevailed and has become the strongest labor market in the country. With the city’s hiring needs growing, one of the leading recruitment companies is leveraging its experience in the Utah market to help meet the need quickly.

A well-respected Salt Lake recruiting company for nearly 30 years, PrincePerelson is known for his insight into the unique needs of Utah businesses and his extensive talent network in the greater Salt Lake area. While the city’s unexpected job growth took many recruiting teams by surprise, PrincePerelson said its connections in the market have enabled the company to keep pace with the demand for skilled candidates.

“Salt Lake had a strong market that was hit by the pandemic, but few people could have predicted how well they would do during a difficult time,” said CEO Jill Perelson. “We observed the trends very closely and were able to scale in order to meet the growing need for recruitment from our customers in advance.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, no other area expanded its workforce like Salt Lake City did during the pandemic. The journal’s results were based on a report from 53 regions, each with more than one million inhabitants. They stratified cities according to unemployment rate, wages, workforce size and payroll.

The Journal said Salt Lake was thriving because of its less restrictive public health mandates, a young and well-educated workforce, and the emerging tech sector that was booming during the pandemic. While the national unemployment rate is 6%, Utah’s is below 3%.

PrincePerelson said its customers experienced a surge in staffing needs almost overnight as the Salt Lake economy has been booming for the past few months. This has resulted in companies struggling to meet hiring requirements.

“Companies rarely have the technology and connections to find, screen, and qualify applicants in a short amount of time, and they often sacrifice quality,” Perelson said. “We have processes and networks with which companies can find a high volume of quality candidates if necessary.”

PrincePerelson’s Volume Hiring Division has seen the highest demands as companies want to hire more agents for customer service and success, as well as sales reps.

PrincePerelson won the “Best of Salt Lake City Award” for employment agencies, the “Best Places to Work” award from Utah Business and the “Fastest Growing US Staffing Firms Award” from HR analysts.
