The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and CSS Jobs Interface was helpfully supported by the department to obtain its DBE Certification last month. The Staffing Agency qualified for the DBE as a company owned by veterans and led by a diverse team. 

CSS Jobs Interface has promised to continue providing competitive pricing, like most DBE certified contractors do, and even FREE Recruiting! Free because background and qualification checks are already among Jobs Interface’s primary services. 

A Department of Transportation study found that DBE firms offer bids that were on average 10% lower than non-DBE firms! This is just one of the potential cost savings for employers that staff their projects through DBE Certified staffing agencies.

Hiring a DBE Certified Contractor Attracts Savings!

In some sectors there are other substantial cost saving results that will come from choosing CSS Jobs Interface.

The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) found that, “projects with DBE participation experienced an average cost savings of 9.8% compared to projects without DBE participation”. 

The NCHRP attributed the savings to the reliable efficiency and streamlined operations that DBE certified contractors bring to the table. CSS Jobs Interface already boasts the highest standards of professionalism and integrity across Nashville, fitting the mold of the average DBE contractor.

Other cost saving benefits can be accessed through Government incentives. Public agencies often provide incentives to promote DBE participation. 

Look out for Incentives!

Some of the incentives are also written into contracting requirements set by government agencies and organizations receiving federal funding. In fact. “Federal regulations require a DBE participation goal of at least 10% on transportation projects”, according to the Department of Transportation. 

CSS Jobs Interface already understands the incentives that some of its clients hope to gain from using its staffing agency. Through its partners, the agency now helps clients to meet requirements, ensure compliance, avoid penalties, and maintain business plans.

Open Up New Networking Opportunities

Tennessee’s restaurants, hotels, factories and construction businesses can now benefit from CSS Jobs Interface’s DBE networks. Relationships that reward businesses using DBE certified contractors are not uncommon. These relationships can open doors to subcontracting opportunities within other projects. 

The U.S. Small Business Administration reported that subcontracting opportunities accounted for approximately 23% of DBE firms’ revenue. This statistic highlights the potential for financial growth through relationships that can be formed across the DBE network. 

CSS Promises Clients Enhanced ROI

CSS Job’s Interface’s General Manager Terry Woodson, is confident that more of the company’s clients will see enhanced returns on investment (ROI).

The combined benefits of competitive pricing, cost savings, and access to incentives all amount to improved ROI”, Mr. Woodson said.

Mr. Woodson argues that Jobs Interface is not satisfied with making money for itself, and endeavors to bring income to hundreds of clients and workers. “We applied for DBE Certification so that we could offer even more benefits to all of our stakeholders”, he said. 

The company aligns with a vision of economic empowerment and wants to contribute to a more lucrative business landscape across Tennessee.

This summer Jobs Interface plans to use its status as a new DBE certified contractor to offer compelling financial benefits to qualifying clients. At the same time clients are already promised competitive pricing, cost savings, accessing government incentives and subcontracting opportunities through DBE networks. 

The company’s management is convinced that clients’ financial outcomes will be improved because CSS Jobs Interface goes beyond financial gains itself. It is proud to be able to  provide new opportunities for both its clients and workers through the DBE Program.

Remote jobs and contract employment are two popular alternatives to traditional full-time jobs, each with their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

It is worth comparing and contrasting the two options to help some of our readers to determine the right fit for you.

Remote Jobs:

Remote Jobs allow employees to work from anywhere in the world, so long as they have a stable internet connection. It is becoming increasingly popular due to the convenience and flexibility that it offers. So think about its pros and cons.

Pros:

• Flexibility: Remote jobs offer workers the flexibility to work from anywhere, making it easier to maintain a work-life balance.
• Increased Productivity: Disciplined remote workers tend to be more productive because they can work in an environment that is comfortable and familiar.
• Cost Savings: Remote jobs save workers money on commuting, wardrobe, and meals.

The Cons:

• Limited Social Interaction: Remote workers may feel isolated and miss the social interaction that comes with working in a traditional office environment.
• Lack of Structure: Remote workers need to be self-motivated and disciplined to create and stick to a daily routine.
• Distractions: Working from home can lead to distractions from family members, household chores, pets etc.

What the Statistics say:

• According to a 2021 report by FlexJobs, remote work increased by 115% between 2005 and 2019.
• A 2020 survey by Buffer found that 98% of remote workers would like to continue working remotely, at least some of the time, for the rest of their careers.
• A 2021 report by Owl Labs found that companies that fully embrace remote work have 25% lower employee turnover than those that don’t.

Contract Work::

It is time to consider contract employment. This refers to jobs that have a specific start and end date. Contract workers are typically ‘independent contractors’ hired for a specific project or task. These workers are paid a predetermined fixed or hourly amount for their work.

The Pros:

• High Earning Potential: Contract workers typically earn higher wages than permanent employees.
• Flexibility: Contract workers can work on multiple projects or for multiple clients, which allows them to have a more flexible schedule.
• Variety: Since contract workers get the opportunity to work on different projects, it helps to keep their work interesting.

The Cons:

• Job Insecurity: Contract workers who are not signed to an effective staffing agency like CSS Jobs Interface may have to continually search for new projects or clients, possibly leading to job insecurity.
• Limited Benefits: Contract workers are not typically eligible for benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, or paid time off. Although some staffing agencies award workers handsomely for loyalty.
• Limited Stability: Contract workers may not have the same level of job stability as permanent employees, as they are often hired for short-term projects. A relationship with agencies like CSS Jobs Interface gives contractors access to their available projects.

Statistics:

• According to a 2020 report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 10.6 million independent contractors in the U.S. in 2017.
• A 2020 survey by Upwork found that 59 million Americans freelanced in 2020, representing 36% of the total workforce.
• A 2021 report by the Freelancers Union found that 42% of freelancers have increased their rates since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparison:

1. Flexibility: Both remote jobs and contract employment offer flexibility in terms of where and when work is completed. However, remote jobs may offer more flexibility in terms of daily work schedules, while contract employment may offer more flexibility in terms of project selection and variety. 
2. Earning Potential: Contract employment typically offers higher earning potential than remote jobs, but may come with more job insecurity.
