90% of US Hiring Managers Say One Thing Speeds Up the Process — And Most Candidates Don’t Use It

Paul Zboichyk2026-04-13T01:01:46-04:00April 13th, 2026|Tags: business services, Express Employment Professionals, professional education, staffing solutions|

New survey shows referrals build trust, accelerate decisions and give candidates a clear edge many overlook.

OKLAHOMA CITY — A referral may be the closest thing to a “shortcut” in today’s job market, and a new Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey shows just how powerful that endorsement can be. A striking 90% of U.S. hiring managers say employee referrals make hiring more efficient, and 91% say a strong internal reference can open doors that would otherwise stay closed.

Yet despite its impact, most job seekers aren’t tapping into it.

A referral does more than boost visibility. It fundamentally changes how hiring managers perceive a candidate.

89% trust candidates’ stated skills more when someone recommends them.
80% prioritize interviewing referred candidates over equally qualified non-referred applicants.
76% believe referred candidates perform better on the job.

In a crowded labor market, a single name can be the difference between getting noticed and getting overlooked.

But while referrals can be a deciding factor for hiring managers, job seekers rarely recognize their value. Only 40% believe a referral helps them stand out, revealing a significant disconnect between how influence is perceived on each side of the hiring process.

Referrals Work When Relationships Are Real

Hiring managers value referrals, but they also value authenticity.

93% have been contacted by former colleagues after long periods of no communication.
38% say it happens all the time or often.
68% are less likely to provide a reference if the only time someone reaches out is when they need one.
66% consider whether the person maintained the relationship over the years before agreeing to help.

The power of a referral doesn’t begin when a candidate needs a job. It begins long before that through trust, history and genuine connection.

The Strength — And Limits — of a Referral

Even with its undeniable impact, hiring managers are realistic about the boundaries of a referral.

91% say a reference doesn’t always mean the candidate is the right fit.
49% strongly agree.
70% worry that relying on referrals can limit team diversity.

Referrals open doors, but they don’t replace a true assessment of skills, culture or potential. They accelerate opportunity, not guarantee it.

“Referrals have always carried weight, but what this data shows is that they carry responsibility too,” said Bob Funk Jr., CEO, President and Chairman of Express Employment International. “The strongest recommendations come from relationships built on consistency and genuine connection, not convenience. When people invest in each other over time, they create opportunities that no algorithm can match. A referral isn’t just a name on an email. It’s trust earned through showing up. That’s what moves careers forward.”

Modern Stress, Future Solutions: Heights Wellness Retreat Empowers Consumers to Prioritize Their Well-Being

Paul Zboichyk2026-04-13T00:46:52-04:00April 13th, 2026|Tags: Cryotherapy, Heights Wellness Retreat, Massage Franchise|

Wellness Authority Offers Education + Resources to Combat Increased Stress and Support Active Recovery

SAN ANTONIO — Stress is no longer occasional; it’s become part of daily life. A recent study found Gen Z and Millennial adults are experiencing peak stress levels at younger ages with the majority feeling burned out by their 30s. The growing levels of stress impacting how Americans work, sleep and move through their routines.

Shifting the conversation from awareness to action, Heights Wellness Retreat is reframing the conversation around self-care – it’s not a luxury, but a necessary, proactive investment in long-term health and well-being. Through expert-backed strategies and innovative services, the brand helps individuals better manage stress and build sustainable wellness routines.

“Today’s stress isn’t just occasional, it’s something people are navigating every day,” said Shane Evans, Co-Founder and CEO of Heights Wellness Retreat. “Our goal is to provide practical, sustainable solutions that support both immediate relief and long-term well-being, so self-care becomes part of everyday life, not just an afterthought.”

Understanding the Reality of Modern Stress
Today’s stressors are more complex than ever. Demanding schedules, constant digital connectivity, and limited time for recovery are creating a cycle that impacts both mental and physical health. While awareness around wellness continues to rise, many consumers still struggle to turn that awareness into consistent, effective habits that fit into their daily lives.

As a trusted guide and resource for recovery, stress management, and long-term wellbeing, Heights Wellness Retreat is providing expert-backed strategies to help consumers build sustainable routines:

Prioritize Active Recovery: Wellness is often reactive, addressing pain or burnout after it happens. Active recovery shifts that mindset. Short, targeted experiences like meditation or cryotherapy create momentum around self-care. While quality sleep and rest remain essential, recovery does not have to be time-intensive to be effective.
Support Circulation to Maintain Energy: Movement plays a critical role in how energized and balanced people feel. Supporting circulation can help reduce physical tension and promote recovery through services like lymphatic drainage and infrared saunas.
Use Wellness Services to Complement Daily Habits: Touchless therapies such as cryotherapy and red-light therapy are most effective when used alongside consistent habits. These tools are designed to support recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote balance – not replace foundational wellness practices.
Personalize Your Approach: Wellness is for everyone and there is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Personalized routines aligned with individual needs and goals are more effective, and more sustainable over time.
Think Long-Term: True wellness comes from consistency. Integrating recovery and self-care into daily life, rather than just treating it as a one-time fix, will lead to more meaningful, lasting results.

A Thoughtful Approach to Modern Wellness
At Heights Wellness Retreat, wellness is proactive, personalized, and designed to fit into modern life. The brand continues to expand its offerings with innovative wellness technologies and services that support the path to holistic wellness, including lymphatic drainage, cryotherapy, meditation, red light therapy, infrared sauna, and more. These services provide convenient, customizable options to nurture the body, mind, and spirit.

Their daughter, Laurel, will also play a role in the business, supporting the studio’s social media content.

“After spending years coaching group fitness and seeing how powerful that sense of community can be, I knew I wanted to bring something similar to Bridgeland,” said Chance. “We recognized an opportunity to introduce more boutique fitness options to the Cypress community, and we’re excited to create a space where people can challenge themselves, connect with others and build a strong fitness community.”

The 2,400-square-foot studio will feature 15 custom reformers, offering 50-minute, high-end classes combining strength, cardio, and Pilates-inspired movements set to DJ-curated music.

MOLLY MAID® INTRODUCES “A FRIEND LIKE MOLLY” CAMPAIGN, ELEVATING TRUST AT THE HEART OF ITS BRAND PROMISE

Paul Zboichyk2026-04-10T21:49:21-04:00April 10th, 2026|Tags: Molly Maid, nation's leading residential cleaning franchise, Neighborly, residential cleaning|

New integrated campaign reframes home cleaning through reliability, care, and human connection

Media Kit

DALLAS — Molly Maid®, a Neighborly® company, is leaning into what matters most to today’s homeowners — trust — with the launch of its newest brand campaign, “A Friend Like Molly.”

Trust is the foundation of the campaign because when customers trust the people behind the clean, they get something even more valuable in return: their time back. “A Friend Like Molly” is designed to highlight that exchange, positioning Molly Maid as a reliable partner that consistently delivers a high-quality clean, enabling customers to confidently focus on what matters most.

“A clean home is expected, but how you get there is what builds loyalty,” said Michael Silva-Nash, President of Molly Maid. “This campaign is about reinforcing that Molly Maid isn’t just dependable — we’re thoughtful, we listen, and we show up the way our customers need us to, every time.”

“A Friend Like Molly” highlights the qualities that drive repeat business and long-term trust: customer connection, attentiveness to individual household needs, and a consistently reliable experience. Rather than focusing solely on outcomes, the campaign brings the full customer experience to life — from the moment the service provider team arrives to the lasting confidence customers feel after the job is done.

Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of classic sitcoms — when life felt more predictable and dependable, the campaign introduces “Molly” as that go-to friend who always has it together: thoughtful, detail-oriented, and consistently reliable. She’s the person you can count on without question, bringing a sense of ease and trust that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly familiar, with a little fun and magic along the way. The concept is rooted in a truth — that the qualities you value in the person or service who cleans your home are actually the same qualities you value in a friend.

The campaign will roll out across paid, owned, and earned channels, with social and PR extensions designed to engage audiences in more relatable and unexpected ways. By tapping into everyday moments and real customer expectations, Molly Maid aims to bring fresh energy to a service category that has traditionally focused on function over feeling.

With a network of more than 400 locally owned and operated franchises, Molly Maid continues to support strong systemwide growth. This campaign was created in partnership with Serious Work, and highlights the qualities that drive repeat business and long-term trust: customer connection, attentiveness to individual household needs, and a consistently reliable experience.

With “A Friend Like Molly,” the brand reinforces its core promise, builds brand affinity and awareness, and differentiates itself in a competitive marketplace.

Molly Maid delivers trusted, professional home cleaning services backed by its promise: A Clean You Can Count On®. To learn more about Molly Maid and its services, visit www.mollymaid.com.

Molly Maid® is a residential cleaning franchise with more than 400 franchise locations that collectively perform more than 1.7 million U.S. home cleanings annually.

As spring arrives and we enter Home Inspection Month, experts at Ideal Siding are encouraging homeowners to take a proactive approach with a simple exterior inspection to identify and address issues before they escalate.

“Winter puts every part of a home’s exterior to the test,” said Alex Filipuk, CEO and Founder of Ideal Siding. “Freezing temperatures, snow, and ice can create damage that isn’t always visible right away. A quick inspection in the spring can help homeowners catch problems early and avoid costly repairs down the line.”

Why Spring Is the Ideal Time to Inspect
Spring offers the first clear opportunity to assess winter damage and prepare for the months ahead. Identifying and addressing issues early can help prevent moisture intrusion, improve energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of a home’s exterior.

As the weather warms up, homeowners should walk around their property and look for the following:

Siding Damage: Check for cracks, warping, loose panels, or signs of trapped moisture that may have developed during freeze-thaw cycles.
Gutters and Downspouts: Clear out debris and ensure water is flowing properly away from the home. Look for sagging sections or loose attachments.
Roofline and Fascia: Inspect for signs of ice dam damage, loose boards, or areas where water may have seeped in.
Foundation and Drainage: Look for cracks or pooling water near the base of the home that could lead to long-term structural issues.
Windows and Doors: Check seals and caulking for gaps or deterioration that can impact energy efficiency and allow moisture inside.
Paint and Trim Wear: Peeling, bubbling, or fading paint may signal underlying moisture problems.
Mold, Mildew, or Rot: Examine shaded or damp areas for organic growth, especially along siding and near the foundation.

“These issues may seem minor, but they’re often early indicators of larger problems,” said Filipuk. “Addressing them in the spring gives homeowners a clear path to protecting their investment before summer storms and humidity set in.”
