Riverway is excited to announce the launch of our Accounting and Finance Division!

Hello, my name is Ashley Moujaes, Branch Manager at our Bellaire office. I can’t tell you what a privilege it is to join the Riverway team and it is an honor to work with the number one Temporary Placement firm in Houston TX. This is an exciting time for Riverway, as we continue to grow our team and add our new Accounting and Finance Division.

Being at the front desk, I see everyone's first impressions when they walk into our office. First impressions can make or break your opportunity so here are 10 tips I've come up with to make sure that you are best candidate for the position!

In our minds we think a staffing company is nothing more than a place that is supposed to find us a job. As recruiters we try our hardest to find each qualified candidate a job, but there are a few things regarding appearance that could definitely hurt you in the interviewing process, if you’re not careful. Below are a few tips that will help you succeed in being that qualified candidate.

Riverway encourages all candidates to be themselves during an interview. However, there are dos and don’ts when it comes to what you say to a Hiring manager and/or Recruiter.

October 2014 - The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® Competition is honoring Riverway Business Services on November 3rd, 2014 for its commitment to excellence in human resource practices and employee enrichment.

Join us on Thursday, October 9th at 12:30pm for a complimentary RESUME-WRITING SEMINAR

Sherri Nuccio will share state-of-the-art best practices to consider when building your resume. And let's not forget cover letters! She will discuss and show examples of effective resumes and the different types of resumes to choose from depending on what type of job you are applying for.

Riverway is excited to be one of those businesses and we hope to make connections and find the RIGHT candidates! We are prepared to hire qualified applicants to fill our job openings - which are always up-to-date on our website. We will have information about current job openings while we're there, but we are a staffing company and receive several new job orders from our clients daily, so keeping up with our website and your recruiter is key to your job search success!

People find themselves searching for a new job for several different reasons. In 2008, at the height of the Great Recession, the number of people that found themselves in the market for a new position reached upwards of 2.5 million. Several mistakes can be made when going through the rigorous task of securing employment and being prepared can make the process significantly easier.

Recruiters should be regarded as your teammate in the job search. We want you to feel like you are not in this alone, but we need you to be right there with us. You work hard when job hunting and recruiters work hard to help you, but it can come crashing down due to a little something left off of your resume or application.

Riverway's Balanced Employee series continues with our expansion on motivating employees following Herzberg's Two Factor Theory. The two-factor theory (also known as Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory and dual-factor theory) states that certain workplace factors cause job satisfaction while a separate set of factors cause dissatisfaction, all of which act independently of each other.

With the end of the year rapidly approaching, there are many distractions ahead that can taint your employees’ motivation.

The dreaded question, "Tell me about yourself," is a staple in job interviews, yet it continues to stump even the most seasoned professionals. This seemingly simple request often catches candidates off guard, leading to stumbling responses and missed opportunities.

One effective way to make your resume shine is by strategically incorporating keywords. These are the secret sauce that can catch the eye of hiring managers and automated applicant tracking systems (ATS).

In the fast-paced world of job hunting and career advancement, your resume is often the first impression you make on potential employers. It's not just a document; it's a snapshot of your professional journey, skills, and accomplishments.

In today's job market, where networking and being online are crucial for career growth, LinkedIn is a go-to for people looking for new opportunities. It's more than just an online resume—it's a place to connect, engage, and discover exciting career options.
