Leveraging Transferable Skills, A Broken Hiring Process, and More!
Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:
Q: Will you accept a lower salary OR switch jobs to be able to work from home 1-2 days a week?
- Yes, I want a flexible job - 46%
- No, I like being in the office - 19%
- No, my current job is flexible - 35%
It’s clear that there’s a significant number of job seekers who would consider a move if given the opportunity for a hybrid schedule. Two opportunities stand out from this: 1) For those of you looking to hire new people, you have something tangible to pitch. 2) If you are fully onsite, consider a different model to retain your best employees. Do you have the best employee value proposition to attract the best talent? The experts at Alaant are here to help you with your recruitment brand, strategy, and implementation – not JUST recruiting.
