🚨 Hiring is slowing down — and precision matters more than ever. 🚨 Job openings just fell to a 10-month low (7.18M in July), while layoffs climbed to their highest in a year. The labor market is shifting, and for Central Kansas employers, this means one thing: 👉 You can’t afford a mis-hire.

💥 The $500,000 Problem Your #CIO Might Be Overlooking: Windows 11 💻 We’re officially five months away from the Windows 10 end-of-support date: October 14, 2025. And, TEKsystems is finding that many organizations still don’t have a comprehensive plan to migrate to #Windows11. Here’s the reality: * ~30% of enterprise devices typically don’t meet #Windows11 hardware requirements. * That could mean 2,000–3,000 devices needing replacement in a large org. Add in 2,000–3,000 hours of labor to deploy, image, test, and validate those devices. * Most #fieldservices teams don’t have that bandwidth—so you’re likely looking at bringing in outside help to refresh those devices by mid-October. 💸 Total cost? Easily $500,000+—and that’s before factoring in licensing or ESUs at $61/device per year to buy more time. If you haven’t budgeted for this, it’s going to be a tough conversation with leadership. The question isn’t if you’ll migrate—it’s when and how costly it will be. If you're still planning your Windows 11 approach, DM me. I’d be happy to share how TEKsystems is helping organizations minimize disruption and cost.

Quick hiring trend I’m seeing in the Indianapolis market: Reliable workers are getting picked up in 24–72 hours. If your hiring process still takes a week+, you’re losing people — not to competitors… but to speed. Fast processes win talent today. #staffing #talentacquisition #recruiting #marketinfo
