Seems like an awesomely streamlined process and one that will alleviate some of those painfully long, counterintuitive and repetitive online application processes.

Because we know the value of education, we want to help our employees achieve their academic goals. To encourage the professional and personal development of every ProfitFuel employee, the company has established a policy to reimburse employees for qualified continued education and training expenses that are successfully completed.

Employees that take advantage of this perk will not only benefit from the money that is spent on their tuition, but they will also benefit by being better educated workers. And this often results in increasing their value in the marketplace. It’s like getting a raise twice!

This benefit applies to all full-time team members that have been employed for over 90 days. All courses will need to be pre-approved by leadership and course work must be completed on employees’ own time. Reimbursement is contingent upon passing the class.

Employees will also be required to lead a relevant discussion session for fellow employees covering the material learned in the coursework. By sharing the learned material with co-workers, this will function as a study aid and it also gives fellow employees the opportunity to learn something new too!

This is a great addition to the company’s already outstanding perks and benefits that are currently offered! Come join our team and take advantage of all of the great things that are happening here at ProfitFuel!

More than ever, companies are utilizing popular sites like Facebook and Twitter to gather additional information on potential employees. In some cases, the information they find has dissuaded them from hiring a (previously) potential candidate.

It is now more important than ever that you are careful about what you post on social media, blogs and other internet sites. Although it is time consuming for hiring managers to research potential recruits, it is a sign of the times – and there are companies that specialize in this service. Hiring managers want to make sure they find the right fit so they will (and do) use these resources.
