HR expert offers revealing take on what questions should be off-limit in interviews
In September 2021, All of Us or None vs. Hamrick was denied a review by the California Supreme Court. Now, the bill is up for a vote once again. If a review is once again denied, then California will continue to prevent employers from asking for job applicants’ date of birth and/or driver’s license numbers.
“By preventing employers from asking for DOB or DL numbers, it makes it much more difficult and time-consuming to do any kind of background check on job applicants,” says Rob Wilson, HR expert and President of Employco USA, an employment solutions firm based in Chicagoland with locations across the country.
HR plays an essential role in the success of your company. HR is a strategic part of the success of your business. Your company must recruit, hire, develop and retain top talent to remain competitive. To do that, you need HR professionals with expertise in managing processes and maintaining compliance with regulations that have consequences if not performed correctly. To do this in-house comes at a cost. Partnering with an HR outsourcer can offer insight and guidance to ensure your HR needs are supported and that you achieve your HR objectives while helping you save money.
Here are some of the benefits of outsourcing your HR:
Reduce Costs
Looking for ways to reduce costs or maximize spending is essential to remain competitive. Outsourcing HR roles and activities can help reduce overall costs compared to keeping them in-house and on your payroll. From streamlining processes and managing HR tasks to lowering your benefits package, outsourcing HR functions helps you increase profitability. Partnering with an HR outsourcer like Employco enables you to control employee costs and gain a competitive advantage in stabilizing your company’s future expenses.

Employment trends expert weighs in on new findings and what employers can do to reduce the ever-rising employee attrition rate
Last April, a report from Gartner HR predicted that the annual turnover of U.S. employees would increase by a full 20% this year. Now, a new survey from professional development company Kantata shows that 4 out of 10 full-time American employees are seeking to go freelance.
“The Kantata survey shows that flexibility and freedom are the new must-haves for employees,” says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA, an employment solutions firm with locations across the country. “The pandemic is partially behind this new drive for more autonomy. Results showed that 60% of American workers say that working remotely became more attractive to them recently.”
