It has been said that seniors are the most under-utilized segment of the workforce today. And how true it is!
For employers, bringing an individual onto the workforce team who has maturity, extensive real-life experience, and skills that have been honed with time, is a golden opportunity.
For members of our Retirement Team, the opportunities are no less exciting. Many seniors are looking for a place to provide valuable, meaningful service, earn some extra cash, but still have the time and freedom they need to play with grandchildren, travel or simply relax doing things they enjoy.
That is why engaging as a temp employee is perfect. In fact, many of our Retirement Team members enjoy the term “career temp”. You work when you want, for as long as you want, doing jobs that you like. And when you are ready for a break, you simply opt-out of our “Available” list. You enjoy freedom, flexibility, income and fulfillment.
Take a moment to discover why you are such a valuable asset to employers and how becoming a member of the GSS Retirement Team could possibly give you exactly what you are looking for.

You Are Needed
Being in your golden years, you have at least three things that employers are looking for right now in temporary employees. And, because these three elements represent a valuable asset to them, they are often willing to pay a premium price for your services.
Experience – Learning curves can be disastrous to the bottom line, especially considering how expensive training can be. Mistakes drain resources, cost time, and money. Employers today are looking for individuals who will require the minimal amount of training and have enough experience to get the job done quickly and correctly. More often than not, they need people who can move from one task to another with a bit of grace. They realize that through your real-life experiences you most likely have done a number of tasks and honed a wide range of skills. Because of that, they need you now more than ever.
Maturity – When you’ve experienced a wide variety of working environments, you typically learn to be a little more patient, a bit more understanding and considerably calmer in the face of obstacles and challenges. These qualities result in more stable work environments, less tension between employees and more productivity.
Dependability – Showing up at the right place, at the right time and being ready to work is a habitual skill that no employer takes for granted. And having a sense of duty and responsibility to call in well ahead of time when circumstances demand or emergencies arise is like giving a Christmas present to employers. Typically, our Retirement Team members are noticeably more dependable, reliable and stable. They honor commitments, arrive on time and do their best at the tasks given.
So, why not capitalize on your years of experience and expertise today? As you can see, the work force needs you. Call either of our Treasure Valley offices and let them know you are ready to go to work. Together, we can discuss whether a temp, temp-to-hire, or permanent placement position would best meet your needs.
