The Cannata Report will collaborate with Copier Careers to deliver content focusing on hiring and retention in the copier/MFP dealer channel of the office technology industry. With this partnership, The Cannata Report and Copier Careers aim to improve the outlook for attracting and retaining top industry talent by providing office technology dealers with the most up-to-date information on marketplace trends, recruitment and employee retention strategies.  

The Cannata Report and Copier Careers are combining their expertise to create a multitiered partnership that will include bimonthly columns co-authored by Copier Careers and The Cannata Report, and featured in The Cannata Report's print edition and on its website. In addition, they will jointly produce a video series featuring Jessica Crowley, senior vice president of Copier Careers, and CJ Cannata, CEO of The Cannata Report, that will focus on the changing dynamics of the job market and provide actionable insights and strategies for office technology dealers and candidates.

The collaborative content partnership starts with the publication today of the first installment of a bimonthly column, "Copier Careers Insights." The first column — "Employer's Market or Candidate's Market in the Office Technology Dealer Channel?" — reports on how wage inflation, generational turnover, low unemployment and competition from outside industries, including the IT and medical technology industries for candidates, among other factors, is impacting hiring and recruiting in the office technology dealer channel. The Cannata Report's editor-in-chief, Scott Cullen, interviews numerous executives from Copier Careers who share what office technology dealers can do to attract top talent and fill their job vacancies and why they feel the office technology industry is nearing a breaking point.

In addition to video, online and print content, The Cannata Report will share current job postings from Copier Careers Job Board on its homepage.

"As longtime readers and contributors, we are excited to be collaborating with The Cannata Report," said Paul Schwartz, president, Copier Careers. "Hiring and retention has always been a top pain point for industry employers, now more so than ever. With our combined wide reach and deep industry knowledge, we are confident our partnership can provide actionable insights to the Cannata community."

"We are thrilled to join forces with Copier Careers to provide our audience with valuable ideas and innovative solutions to help solve the hiring and retention crisis the office technology industry faces today," Cannata said. "We hope this collaborative partnership will assist office tech dealers and candidates as they negotiate the industry's changing landscape."
