Break out the cheesesteaks, everyone! hireVision’s President and CEO, Tina Hamilton, was quoted this week by phillyBurbs.com in a feature article on local labor market trends. The article, “Local labor market accelerating” by Christian Schappel, focuses on the Bucks County area, but the information Tina shared also resonates with much of the greater Philadelphia region:

“Companies are in need of people they can mold,” Hamilton said. “It seems like one of the strategies companies have is to find people who are willing to learn and have a strong work ethic.”
