Elevating Talent Acquisition in a Post-Pandemic World: The Adinek Group’s Journey

By: Small Business Trendsetters

The Adinek Group has emerged as a pivotal player in workforce management, reshaping talent acquisition and workforce planning. Founded by Kenida Lewis in 2020, the company has quickly established itself as a leader in the industry, leveraging Kenida’s nearly two decades of experience. The Adinek Group’s innovative approach and commitment to excellence have driven its rapid success, particularly during the challenging times of the pandemic. 

The company was born out of necessity during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many, Kenida faced furlough but turned this setback into an opportunity. Recognizing the urgent need for staffing solutions in the essential worker sector, she utilized her expertise to help organizations maintain their operations amidst the chaos. This critical intervention not only kept businesses afloat but also laid the foundation for The Adinek Group’s future endeavors. 

Service Offerings 

Reincorporated in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada, The Adinek Group offers a comprehensive suite of services. These range from professional search and temporary help to large-volume staffing. A notable achievement includes providing staffing for events related to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, a milestone that underscores the company’s capability in handling high-volume staffing needs. Additionally, The Adinek Group offers a unique screening service, aiding corporations in efficiently identifying top talent from a vast pool of applicants. 

Recruitment Insights 

Kenida’s insights into the corporate world are valuable, particularly for companies aiming to attract the right talent. She emphasizes the importance of creating inviting and unintimidating job descriptions. In today’s competitive job market, traditional, verbose job descriptions are being replaced by more dynamic and engaging narratives that resonate with potential candidates. This shift not only broadens the talent pool but also makes the application process more approachable. 

Furthermore, Kenida highlights the power of social media in recruitment marketing. Platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have become essential tools for reaching a wider audience. She advises companies to get creative with their social media presence, showcasing a day in the life at the company to attract potential candidates. 

Advice for Job Seekers 

For job seekers, Kenida offers practical advice to navigate the competitive landscape. Leveraging one’s network is crucial, as it significantly increases the chances of rising to the top of the applicant pool. She also stresses the importance of applying early when job postings go live, as recruiters often review applications on a first-come, first-served basis. This strategy can prevent qualified candidates from being overlooked due to the sheer volume of applications. 

Emerging Employment Trends 

In terms of emerging employment trends, Kenida observes a significant shift towards non-traditional roles and contract work. Many candidates now seek opportunities that offer work-life balance and allow them to diversify their skill sets. This trend presents a challenge for companies, which must adapt to these evolving preferences by offering more flexible work arrangements. 

Client-Centric Approach 

The Adinek Group’s approach to talent acquisition is uniquely client-centric, considering candidates, hiring managers, and organizations as equally important. This balanced perspective ensures a comprehensive recruitment process that benefits all parties involved. The company also provides career coaching and resume review services, further demonstrating its commitment to helping candidates succeed. 

Professional Networks 

Kenida’s involvement with the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) has been instrumental in expanding The Adinek Group’s network and securing new opportunities. Participation in WBENC events has facilitated valuable connections with decision-makers, enhancing the company’s visibility and credibility. 

Looking ahead, The Adinek Group aims to continue its growth by securing contracts with organizations that value a great corporate culture. Their mission, “People, Purpose, Placement,” underscores a dedication to matching talented individuals with purposeful roles, fostering growth and success for both candidates and organizations.
