Latest job recruiting trend in tight market: ‘No vaccine required’
WRAL ^ | 11/17/2021 | Alicia Williams

In the search for workers in this tight labor market, companies have courted new hires with the promise of higher wages, sign-on bonuses, ample vacation time, and childcare.

The latest: “No vaccine required.”

That three-word phrase is popping up across online job listings (sometimes emphatically in all caps and accompanied by exclamation marks) as businesses seek to turn the federal government’s proposed vaccine decree on its head and attract employees — notably those from a talent pool that’s been turned off by or turned away from employers that require a Covid-19 vaccination.

Under the series of federal regulations, which have met some legal challenges that could delay or stop their implementation, private businesses with more than 100 employees, certain health care workers and federal contractors will be required to be fully vaccinated or, in some cases, undergo regular testing for the Covid-19 virus.

And although the reasons behind the “no vaccine required” job listings vary by business — for some owners, it’s philosophical; for others, it’s desperation amid an unbalanced labor market — several employers say it’s working.

When Primal Life Organics amended its job postings to include the phrasing “*NO VACCINE REQUIRED,*” the company saw an increase in applications from the single-digits to 30 or 40, said CEO Trina Felber, who founded the Akron, Ohio-based maker of natural skincare and dental products in 2009.

Why?
Most new infections are on the vaccinated.

Electronics engineering jobs with no vaccine required? 34+ years in circuit-board-level design, RF, microprocessors, the works. I’ll probably need a new job soon.

I just recently (last week) got a vaccine-free job and told my former boss I wished his vaccinated ass well...

Well, really I just told him I respected his decision and it was time for me to move on. And my two weeks began two weeks ago, c-ya!

“Face masks prohibited”.

Hubby was working for this sort of place as an essential employee during the initial shutdowns. He loved it.

He eventually was laid off and got another job where masks were mandated all day.

Was there 2 weeks and brought home Covid.

I’ve heard employees are so hard to get that long-haired freaky people may now apply!
