Build a Tailored Strategy With an Award-Winning Colorado Staffing Agency
In the current economic climate, utilizing innovative staffing solutions is crucial for Colorado companies. Bad hires quickly turn into costly mistakes. However, while uncertainty persists, businesses have both opportunities and challenges in talent acquisition.
Lakeshore Talent’s tailored staffing solutions enable you to remain adaptable, agile, and focused in this perplexing jobs market where flexibility is key.
Understanding the Colorado Job Market
Colorado’s economic landscape is diverse, with sectors such as education, health services, government, and construction poised for growth in 2025. Research by the Business Research Division in collaboration with the State of Colorado, and insights from almost 150 leaders from business, education, and construction are forecasting that the state will add around 36,700 jobs in 2025. That’s a growth rate of 1.2%.
Most notably, the demand for healthcare and education services is expected to boost the jobs in these sectors by 2.3%. In addition to this, employment in the government sector is anticipated to rise by 1.3%, with local government positions increasing by 2.1% as the effects of the pandemic continue to dissipate.
However, challenges persist. As of December 2024, Colorado’s unemployment rate climbed to 4.4%, the highest in three years, surpassing the national average of 4.1%. Additionally, job openings in the state declined by 3% between September and December, a sharper decrease than the national average of 0.7%.
Overall, it’s a complex and murky picture for the Colorado jobs market. Recent statistics underscore the challenges that businesses face as they search for specialized skills.
Moreover, the evolving nature of work, with the rise of contract, gig, and hybrid employment models, adds layers of complexity to workforce planning.

5 Tips to Find the Best Staffing Solutions for Your Business
Employing the right staffing solutions is critical for business success in a competitive and challenging jobs market.
Whether you need temporary staff to manage seasonal demands, full-time employees for long-term growth, or specialized recruitment services to streamline hiring, having a well-thought-out staffing strategy can make all the difference.
Here are five essential tips to help your business find the best staffing solutions.
Assess Workforce Needs
Take a step back and analyze your company’s workforce needs:
- Are you experiencing high turnover?
- Do you need specialized skills that are difficult to find?
- Is your workload fluctuating due to seasonal trends?
Understanding these factors will help you decide on the best staffing model, and ensure that you are not simply filling positions, but building out your workforce strategically.

A Colorado staffing agency like Lakeshore Talent will have unique insights and connections that are crucial to developing an effective staffing solution into today’s jobs market. With deep local market knowledge and a commitment to your success, we can tailor our approach to help drive your business growth.
Invest in Employee Benefits
Attracting and retaining top talent requires more than just a competitive salary. There has been a generational shift in what the best candidates consider most important to them. They want to work for companies whose culture aligns with their own values, and they also place high value on benefits packages that include healthcare, paid time off, retirement plans, and professional development opportunities.
This is why we lead the way in the benefits we provide to our contract employees, helping us to develop and maintain a dedicated and engaged workforce that delivers exceptional results.
Utilize Outplacement Services
If you do find a need to transition employees, our outplacement services support departing employees with resume writing, interview coaching, and LinkedIn optimization. Such services will help your company navigate workforce transition smoothly, while reducing the burden on your HR department, and helping to foster goodwill through difficult periods.
Leverage Payrolling and RPO Services
Managing payroll and recruitment can be time-consuming and complex. The landscape is like a minefield of compliance regulations, tax requirements, and employee benefits administration. By outsourcing payrolling services, you improve efficiency and reduce costs, while simultaneously mitigating risks.
Similarly, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) provides scalable hiring solutions, giving you access to a dedicated team of recruiters who handle sourcing, screening, and onboarding candidates.
The result? Such services enable your company to focus on core business operations, while ensuring workforce needs are managed with precision.
