What are your strengths? What would be the best compliment to the challenges you face. Are you a great recruiter? Hire a policy and on boarding person. Do you need a benefits person? Are you a true hr generalist? Hire a recruiter. Hire skills that compliment the areas you struggle with and can support your weaker areas.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
