It’s hard to believe that the new year is almost upon us.  Like many of you during this period, we’re feeling incredibly proud of the work that we have carried out in 2022 – namely due to the many benefits it brought around for refugees and labor migrants.  In a year plagued by humanitarian crises, such as the war in Ukraine and the resultant refugee crisis , we have been blessed with the ability to help those who need it most – whose lives are now improved because of Joblio. Our company stands apart, not only because of our efficiency but also because of our values and humanistic approach. To put it simply, our desire to make a difference is what helps us to make a difference. Inevitably, Joblio will continue to grow in 2023 because of our professionalism and the good karma we carry with us.  A Holiday Message from Jon Purizhansky , Joblio’s CEO and Founder.  “As the year comes to an end, we get to reflect on our accomplishments and create plans for the...

At Joblio, our core aim is to help connect foreign talent with employers that desperately need them – cultivating relationships that are mutually beneficial and allow businesses to thrive. Above all, we’re passionate about ensuring that the opportunities we provide to job seekers enable them to better their lives through upward mobility. What is upward mobility?  “There are various definitions of upward mobility, but they all relate to ‘ the experience of moving up into a more comfortable economic position in society ,’” said Jon Purizhansky , CEO and Founder of Joblio. “For example, by making it easier for companies across Canada to hire foreign talent, we’re providing talent with more opportunities to progress in their careers. This lowers unemployment, while also giving them the chance to obtain higher-paid jobs,” he said. “Our aim to provide foreign talent with upward mobility aligns closely with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals , particularly those that ‘p...

Right now, Canada is experiencing a significant labor/talent shortage. In fact, a study conducted by Proof Point found that “ more than half of Canadian businesses say labor shortages are limiting their ability to increase production—up from 40% before the pandemic and 30% a decade ago .” The impact of these shortages are far-ranging. Firstly, unfilled vacancies cost businesses considerable amounts of money every day, with a recent study predicting losses of   $454 a week or $1800 a month when a job remains vacant . Unfulfilled vacancies also mean that your current employees are forced to fill in the gaps left by their absent teammates. This can cause both efficiency and productivity rates to plummet, putting your business on a downward spiral that can be hard to recover from. Overbearing your current workforce can also lead to burnout, which will worsen employee turnover rates. “As such, it’s crucial that business owners across all industries find new ways to conquer ...

In order to survive and even thrive during a recession, small business owners need to be strategic about their finances. Here are some tips on how to fund your budding small business during tough economic times. 1. Cut costs where you can, without sacrificing quality In today's challenging economy, businesses must be smart about where they spend their money. One area where businesses often cut corners is in the quality of the products or services they purchase. However, this can be a false economy, as inferior quality products or services can end up costing more in the long run. To get the most bang for your buck, look for ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality. For example, instead of buying the cheapest products you can find, look for ones that offer good value for the price. Similarly, when hiring staff, don't just go for the lowest bidder; instead, look for vendors who offer good quality at a fair price. By being smart about where you spend your money, you can keep c...

  In previous blogs, we’ve touched upon the importance of the UN’s Sustainable development goals when it comes to building a better, more equitable future for all. While the goals are altruistic, their implementation will also benefit businesses of all sizes moving forward. With that in mind, here are just some of the ways in which the SDG’s can help you to grow your business. The SDG’s can solve the staffing crisis.  Canada is currently facing a rather alarming staffing crisis. For example, “There were 34,315 vacant nursing jobs in Canada at the end of 2021, a 133% increase from 2019” As these figures are reflected in just about every industry, it’s clear that the problem isn’t going to go away on its own. “By working to uphold the UN’s aim to “promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all”, business owners can find new ways to fill these vacancies, such as by hiring foreign talent or ref...

  In our last blog, we outlined the United Nations Sustainable development goals, alongside the steps we are taking as a company to support and uphold them . However, we also thought it was important to touch upon the reasons why these goals were outlined in the first place. “Understanding the motives behind these goals puts us all in a better position to support them and ensure the changes are brought to fruition. After all, it provides us with a framework for action we can take to help, both on a personal level and within the company itself,” said Jon Purizhansky , CEO and Founder of Joblio With that in mind, here are five reasons why sustainable development goals are important. Setting Goals works: Setting goals is one of the most effective ways to bring about change. That’s why we’re so often encouraged to set targets and goals at work. Furthermore, “in a complex world, organizations and countries can align their agendas and prioritize funding” through effective goal...
