A New Job with Old Friends

Leaving a job can feel a lot like a break-up. Many people spend years developing strong relationships with their coworkers. Time and effort are put into learning personal routines, what makes people the best possible versions of themselves and where people feel like they best fit in on a project.

Because of relationships like this, there are employees that just aren’t willing to jump into the candidate pool and put their resume out there. They turn their head to the missed promotion and the lack of opportunity and continue to perform at a high level.

For those candidates, staying with their trusted coworkers is worth it. Plus, let’s face it, starting over at a new company with new people is a daunting proposition.

But what if it wasn’t?

In the last 8 months companies have had to lay off some of their best employees, and even full teams of people. These are the same employees that potentially had no intention of leaving and were not entertaining the idea of other job offers at the time.

While these layoffs have created some opportunities for coworkers to find opportunities to work together with a new company or on a new project, it left us wondering, why can’t job prospecting look like this all the time?

There are several studies that show morale can be directly tied to productivity. When teams mesh well and feel supported, they simply achieve more. Frankly, that can be hard to find and often takes getting through some ups and downs first.

So, let’s skip the break-up!

If you are ready to move to that next project or opportunity but you aren’t ready to leave your team, we have your solution at The Molekuls Project.

We want to offer candidates the rare opportunity to continue working with the coworkers or teammates that keep them coming to work every day.

So, imagine transitions to a new workplace where employees were able to be hired together in those same high achieving teams.

Here are the advantages we find with hiring in teams:

1. Speed and effectiveness. A team’s best work happens when everyone complements one another.
2. Groups who move jointly with colleagues to a new employer will enjoy an initial salary premium. [research reference]
3. Over a 50-year career, you’ll spend at least 35% of your waking hours working. Bottom line, who you work with matters.
4. Individuals have great ideas, but teams have solutions. Because of this, teams that work well together are highly valued by companies.
5. Working well together opens new doors and provides the recognition employees deserve in their career.

Your team is only one step away from the next great opportunity. Sign up and pair yourself with other coworkers or teammates that will allow you to go into a new position ready to perform on day one and be notified when the right opportunity presents itself for your team.
