Turning the Table on Today’s Tight Job Market

Rose Report: Issue 38

RFS Human Capital ManagementAfter years of job seekers scrambling to find jobs, the tables are turning. Today’s tight job market is having a deep impact on a company’s ability to hire and retain top talent.

Remember when the posting of any open position would result in resumes of candidates flooding in? Today, the scenario can be very different. According to the June 2018 Wall Street Journal article, American Job Openings Now Outnumber the Jobless , for the first time since such record-keeping began in 2000, the number of available positions exceeded the number of job seekers. With a labor shortage and intensified competition for workers, companies are having to rethink the ways they recruit, hire and retain employees.

To meet the tight job market demands, many companies are looking much more seriously at adopting a human capital management (HCM) approach. Gartner defines HCM as a set of practices related to people resource management. These practices are focused on the organizational need to support specific competencies and are implemented in three categories: workforce acquisition, workforce management and workforce optimization.

How does HCM help a company’s staffing and retention efforts? Simply put, HCM evaluates all workforce practices to maximize a company’s return on their investment in their employees. HCM benefits organizations by making talent acquisition more focused, helping them hire the right employees, and then providing them with the training and opportunity to use their skills to the fullest. Ultimately, HCM brings out the best in your employees and differentiates your business in the marketplace.

By Ted Rose July 31, 2025
If your organization is grappling with financial complexity, delayed reports, or mounting compliance pressures, you're not alone. Whether you’re a government contractor preparing for a DCAA audit, a nonprofit managing grants and restricted funds, or a rapidly scaling business struggling to track profitability and cash flow, one thing is clear: You cannot grow with confidence unless your financials are clear and dependable. That is why Rose Financial Solutions created the ROSE Financial Clarity Guarantee, a commitment to delivering financial systems, insights, and support that equip you to lead with control and clarity.

It is a promise that your business will receive: On-Time Monthly Financial and KPI Reporting Guaranteed Pass on Your Audits and Reviews Improvement in Your Financial Results Our Finance as a Service (FaaS) model brings together experienced professionals, proven processes, and advanced technology to reduce complexity, provide you with the data you need to make better decisions, and unlock your full potential. Government Contractors For government contractors, financial clarity is not optional. A misstep in cost allocation or rate calculation can delay payments or trigger an audit failure. With shifting regulations and heightened oversight, the margin for error is reducing. ROSE helps government contractors: • Build and maintain DCAA-compliant accounting systems • Track indirect rates and cost pools with precision • Prepare audit documentation with confidence The result is reduced compliance risk, improved cash flow, and stronger competitive positioning on future contracts. Nonprofits Nonprofit organizations operate under intense scrutiny. Donors, board members, and grant-makers expect timely, transparent financial reporting, and internal teams are often stretched too thin to keep up. ROSE supports nonprofits by: • Delivering accurate, board-ready financials • Automating fund tracking and reporting • Ensuring audit readiness and compliance for grant and restricted funds With ROSE, nonprofits regain the operational clarity needed to grow impact, steward resources, and build donor trust. Growth-Focused Businesses For high-growth companies, finance is often a bottleneck. Rapid expansion brings increasing financial complexity, and internal teams frequently lack the bandwidth or expertise to keep up. ROSE empowers growing businesses by: • Providing near real-time financial dashboards and forecasts • Managing back-office operations with scalable systems • Offering financial insights without the overhead of a full-time hire The outcome is clear financial visibility, improved strategic decision-making, and readiness for investment, acquisition, exit, or expansion. Get a Cost Estimate for Your Business The ROSE Financial Clarity Guarantee is a results-driven approach grounded in decades of experience helping organizations scale with confidence. We’ve helped our clients grow from start-up/early stage to $100+ million in revenue with countless successful exits.
