HR Talks – Episode 3

 

 

January 2021 marked the beginning of seismic disruption in the hiring landscape, which has created a fierce market for top talent. Why? In addition to the extremely high demand for talent, typical candidate pools that organizations recruit from have drastically changed.

Today, there are two major types of candidate pools to hire from: 

  1. Talent that is hesitant to make any career moves.
  2. Talent that is itching to make a change and is ready to leave their current organization.

That said, talent pool 1 is harder to reach and connect with than ever before. On average it can take anywhere from 5-10 contact attempts to reach these individuals, and before, it only took 2-3. And, while talent pool 2 may sound easier to connect with, the reality is that for every candidate that leaves an organization, there are 2-5 companies trying to hire them.  

With such an intense hiring landscape, it is imperative that organizations have a smart hiring and retention strategy put in place. So, to better understand the best practices to find, attract and retain elite talent, we’ve partnered with a panel of recruitment experts for a live discussion on June 23rd at 1:00 PM EST. We hope you can join us!
