Growth Potential Should Be Part of the Job-Hunter’s Formula

Ashley DeGroot | April 23, 2021

As you look forward to developing a successful career, you will eventually begin to evaluate potential employers. There are numerous criteria like pay, benefits or the possibility of travel or relocation, but one of the most important factors to consider is the potential for growth, both for you and the organization. Career growth opens the door for new experiences, increased compensation and greater responsibility. Many organizations offer development paths, but dynamic, expanding companies like Paycom are primed with career-advancing opportunities for those motivated individuals willing to jump in and participate.

Finding an organization with similar growth goals can provide a host of benefits. Let’s look at a few!

Diversity in team and experiences

As companies grow, a natural part of growth is hiring and expanding roles. When you’re part of a growing organization, you’ll be surrounded by a driven, diverse group of people who can help broaden your perspective to include new ideas, techniques and ways to address future challenges.

Participation in the latest products, processes and techniques

As part of a growing team, there’s a chance to make leading-edge activity a part of your day-to-day work. Growing, innovative organizations like Paycom are the perfect place for those who’d like to add participation in the latest tools, initiatives or industry developments to their resume.

Professional development opportunities

An environment filled with new challenges offers ample room to grow, and you can unlock your potential as you meet these new opportunities. Are you ready for the mantle of leadership? Maybe you’re primed to tackle even more ambitious technical endeavors? Whatever the shape of your growth may be, a company growing along with you is bound to have the opportunities you need to take your professional game to the next level.

Transferrable skills

Some of the most valuable skills you’ll learn are the ones that can be applied to wildly different challenges, and these could easily prove to be the backbone of your career growth. Your time in customer service could build the communication skills required for marketing, or preparing weekly schedules for interns may help you succeed in the future as a corporate trainer. Dynamic, multi-department organizations such as Paycom value growth and internal promotions, and they’re excited to see their employees become versatile, multi-talented professionals. Developing those soft and easily transferrable skills is how it happens, and it can happen anywhere!

Upward mobility

This is a classic and a factor you’ve likely already considered. Does the corporate organization chart offer a ladder for you to climb? Take that a step further and factor in the future growth of the organization. Paycom, for example, supports its growth by expanding its roster of talent, which in turn creates many new positions at all levels of the organization.

You’ve made a great choice in prioritizing growth opportunities, and keeping these factors in mind, you’ll make smart choices as you move ahead. If you’d like to start making some growth-oriented career moves today, consider applying for a job at Paycom!
