One of the main areas that JSG recruits for is Engineering. From Aerospace Engineers to Software Engineers to Structural Engineers and everything in between, we recruit them all for hundreds of companies throughout the US and Canada. The Engineering industry has experienced a 10.3% steady growth rate over the last 10 years and with new technologies emerging every day, it doesn’t look like hiring will slow down anytime soon! We asked a couple of our Engineering recruiting experts to share their thoughts on today’s market.
“Our region’s Engineering needs are in the energy/utility space, simply because that is what are clients specialize in. In that space specifically, we have seen heavy demand for positions directly related to utility infrastructure projects (transmission/substation/grid modernization). Most of these roles are common project needs with very specific industry experience, i.e. Project Managers, Schedulers, Estimators, EHS Specialist, etc. These needs are in various states, and many of these modernization projects are multi-year endeavors. So, not only does it provide stability in the marketplace for consultants, but it also provides continued hiring needs as the scope of projects progress from cradle to grave. We do not anticipate any slow down over the next 3 quarters of 2018. Demand for these project-specific skill sets continue to increase as grid modernization spreads across more remote locations where the local talent pool is not as deep.”
“In the greater Chicago land area, JSG provides engineering staffing services for primarily the corporate manufacturing, engineering services, and construction industries. In 2018, JSG has seen a high demand for engineering talent in all 3 market segments. This goes for both contract and direct hire openings. The most recent employment statistics released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for April only reinforces this hiring trend, since 3 out of the top 5 industries that experienced job growth include engineering, manufacturing and construction-related roles. In the greater Chicago area, some of the more in-demand job openings that we recruit for include: Civil/Structural Engineers, Mechanical or Electrical Design Engineers, Machine Design, Controls Engineers and Project Engineers with specific construction/building systems backgrounds. In the current economic environment, it is important for companies to be prepared to act quickly on engineering talent that meets their hiring criteria. If not, there is a strong chance they will compete with multiple offers. This risks losing that candidate to another opportunity. The high demand for engineers does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.”

Here at JSG, we view our employees as family. Which is why, this Thanksgiving we wanted to share a little piece of our family with you and yours by sharing some of our favorite recipes. Some have been passed down from generation to generation, some signify family celebrations and holidays, and some just sound absolutely delicious. We hope that a few of these will inspire your holiday or every day menu and warm your family table.
Grandma’s Garlic Dip
“My Grandma found this recipe on a Philadelphia cream cheese package many years ago and only served it at the holidays. It has been passed down to all the generations of our family and I haven’t met anyone that has heard of this recipe.” From the kitchen of Pamela Rose, Collections Analyst – JSG Westmont
Knorr Spinach Dip
“This is the easiest and most in-demand recipe I make. My friends request it every time we get together and we make it as an appetizer for almost every family holiday!” From the kitchen of Patrice MacMillan, JSG Marketing Manager
Chicken & Gravy
“It’s so so simple and so delicious! It’s perfect for these chilly fall nights we are having in the Midwest.” From the kitchen of Kaitlyn Gorman, HR Admin – JSG Westmont
Chicken & Rice Casserole
“My family adores this stuff and makes for great leftovers. Even works great as dip for tortilla chips when you’re running low!” From the kitchen of Nick Mason, Technical Recruiter – JSG Westmont
Crescent Wrapped Chicken Parm
“I am not the best cook or anything, but this is something I love to make and it is very good!” From the kitchen of Brent Davi, Technical Recruiter – JSG Westmont
Crockpot White Chicken Chili
“I just made this for Chili our Halloween PotLuck here at JSG Westmont Office. A friend of mine on my bowling team shared it with me saying it was super easy and super Delicious! It turned out fantastic!! I am definitely going to make this again! Maybe with a little more spice!” From the kitchen of Jamie Nickos, Sr. Cash Application Specialist – JSG Westmont
Homemade Turkey BBQ
“A great turkey BBQ recipe we all use AFTER the holiday turkey dinner made with the fresh turkey leftovers. It’s been a hit for years and years and requested by many!” From the kitchen of Patty Rhoads, JSG Safety/Risk Manager
One Pan Italian Sausage & Veggies
“We have always struggled to get the kids to eat “healthier” and everyone in my family loves this recipe and its convenient to make.” From the kitchen of Andrew Lopez, Recruiter – JSG Westmont
Stuffed Peppers
“This is my mom’s recipe and I don’t know where she got it but I absolutely love it.” From the kitchen of Steve Sorenson, Business Development Manager – JSG Westmont
Swedish Meatballs
“My family is very Swedish so we have a traditional Swedish Christmas Eve dinner every year. One year my great aunt refused to make the meatballs when talking with my mom on the phone. She made the meatballs every year and if she didn’t make them we wouldn’t have them. When she told my mom that she didn’t want to make them my mom hung up on her. My aunt called back, thinking the line was just disconnected. She continued to talk about how she wasn’t going to make the meatballs; my mom hung up on her again. This continued for about 20 minutes before my aunt realized that my mom was purposely hanging up on her for not making the meatballs. Needless to say she made the meatballs that year. Last year was our first year without her so we all pitched into make the meatballs together; definitely a bittersweet moment.” From the kitchen of Linnea Rummage, HR Generalist – JSG Westmont
Toad In The Hole
“This is a dish that my Mum makes for me every time I am back in England for the holidays. I don’t have her recipe, but I managed to find one which is very close. The dish is called Toad in the Hole, and it is good, old fashioned English comfort food. I’m not too sure how well it would go down in an American household, but we love it back at home.” From the kitchen of Paul Hopkins, Technical Recruiter – JSG Jacksonville
Broccoli Casserole
“My Mom always makes this delicious casserole for our whole family to enjoy.” From the kitchen of Marla Kilgore, Senior Recruiter – JSG Knoxville
Fresh Corn Salad
“This is a popular dish we make in the summer for friend and family get-togethers. It’s nice and fresh and doesn’t fill you up too much unless you eat the whole bowl.” From the kitchen of Jim Halvorson, Branch Manager – JSG Westmont
Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes
“If you don’t have an Instant Pot – I highly recommend getting one! We use ours at least 3 times a week and it makes weeknight meals a breeze!” From the kitchen of Patrice MacMillan, JSG Marketing Manager
Rice Pilaf
“This recipe for Pilaf has been handed down from my Grandmother: Rose Varthoui Arzumenian Farsakian Armenian cookbook. They escaped Armenia to the US during the Genocide where at least 664,000 and possibly as many as 1.2 million died.” From the kitchen of Cathy Kennedy, Director of Business Development – JSG San Jose
Tabouleh
“The vibrant and fresh “Toubleh” salad has always been an old time favorite of my family. As a child during the festive seasons, my taste buds would jingle when my mom would say, “Guess what we’re having this evening?….Tabouleh!” The good old memories still float in my mind as a married man today. I still visit my mom during festive seasons (as many times as possible) and can’t wait to savor her artistically made Tabouleh…made especially for me. I hope you can make and enjoy it too!” From the kitchen of Youssef Alonzo, Account Executive – JSG Spokane

Kahlua Cake
“This is my mom’s go-to indulgent dessert for every special occasion. When I was in college, she even sent me Kahlua cakes by mail! It is the most rich and moist cake you will ever have – so insanely delicious!” From the kitchen of Patrice MacMillan, JSG Marketing Manager
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
