Onward Search and our Chicago staffing team were excited to attend the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in Chicago this month because the attendees were many and the news was good!

These are the forces that drive Internet retailing and make it possible for people like you and me to enjoy an ever evolving e-marketplace and shop online with ease.

Happy Friday, faithful Onward Search fans! Looking back through our team’s feeds, I noticed a significant amount of chatter this week about major sporting events, the most prominent of which being the World Cup. Here’s how the OS team weighed in on all the games this week.
Onward Search recruiters always make a good impression everywhere they go, so I wasn’t surprised to find one of them featured in a Chicago Now blog this morning. After meeting at a couple of Chicago based networking events over the past year, Brendan Tripp, author of The Job Stalker, interviewed Account Executive Courtney Davis about her experiences in staffing. Courtney describes what the job market might bring in the next few months, offers advice to job seekers and explains what makes Onward Search so great.
