The Triad job market remains active, but more competitive than it may seem. In a recent appearance on WFMY News 2’s 2 Wants To Know, Graham Personnel Services COO Will Graham joined Anchor Tanya Rivera to discuss why many job seekers are applying without response, what employers are prioritizing, and how both sides can better navigate today’s hiring environment.
Key Takeaways from the Segment:
- High application volume is causing silence – Job seekers report submitting many applications but receiving few responses, a common issue as more candidates apply for the same openings.
- Resume quality matters more than volume – Will Graham emphasized submitting clean, ATS‑friendly resumes tailored to each posting. Matching keywords and formats improves visibility.
- Personal follow-up makes an impact – Candidates who send a quick email or message, highlighting why they fit, confirming availability, and asking for next steps, stand out to employers.
- GPS helps bridge the gap – Graham noted that partnering with staffing firms like Graham Personnel Services helps candidates bypass filtering systems, access unposted roles, get faster feedback, and find better job matches.
Whether you’re looking for your next career move or need to build your workforce, Graham Personnel Services is your trusted partner in the Triad and nationwide.
