Shifting Trends

In 2021, millions of Americans quit their jobs for new opportunities or left the workforce altogether. The mass exodus that became known as the Great Resignation was caused by prolonged pandemic issues, lack of work-life balance, the surplus of job openings, among many other factors. However, according to Joblist, one in four employees who left their job are now experiencing quitters' remorse, leading to the Great Regret.

The U.S. has reached record high 'quit' rates, and unfortunately, there is no sign that the quitting culture is ending anytime soon.  

According to a new study from Gartner, the annual turnover rate is expected to increase by 20% compared to pre-pandemic levels. To put this into perspective, companies losing one-fifth of their employees in a year will now lose a quarter. This alarming statistic can impact a business's ability to sustain normal operations and growth. 

The nurse shortage has been magnified since the COVID-19 pandemic due to high turnover rates, healthcare demands, and strained working environments. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be close to 200,000 registered nurse openings annually until 2029. A shortage this severe can quickly lead to a national crisis.

As organizations work to achieve pre-pandemic employment levels, it's essential you are well equipped to make the right hires for your business. Count on an RPO partner to source quality candidates that match your EVP and culture while attaining high-volume hiring needs with speed and agility.

With the advent of automation, 3-D printing, robotics, and data science, the candidates of today’s manufacturing industry are changing. The competition for qualified, specialized manufacturing talent has become the most prominent challenge facing companies today. The NAM Manufacturer’s Outlook Survey for the fourth quarter of 2021 found that 82% of manufacturing companies struggled to find qualified candidates for open positions.

Here’s a tongue twister: if recruiters can’t find recruiters, how will recruiters get recruited to recruit? Lately, “now hiring” signs have become an all too familiar sight on any excursion to brick and mortar businesses. A scroll through your LinkedIn feed will present the same information: everyone is hiring. 

For many hospitals in early 2021, the roll-out and staffing of the COVID-19 vaccination program fell to the talent acquisition (TA) team. Battling an already struggling workforce and nursing shortage, hospital TA professionals were scrambling to garner the essential business as usual.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed the processes companies use to recruit candidates. One of the biggest takeaways from the COVID-19 pandemic is that much of the hiring process can be performed virtually, which only reduces time to hire and puts more pressure on hiring managers. As a result, many recruiters will continue prioritizing virtual interviews as the first (or even only) step in the interviewing process. 

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic was a complete shock for everyone. What started as small talk amongst friends and family spiraled into a nationwide pandemic. Offices and schools were closed, remote work and school became the new normal, and staying safe from the virus became the main priority. For recruiters and talent acquisition professionals, their already busy jobs were thrown into unprecedented chaos when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. in early March of 2020.

While some recruiters had to step into overdrive to hire for already hard-to-fill positions, others were suddenly forced to stop hiring processes altogether. Other recruiters were let go or had their jobs put on pause for weeks or months on end. The majority transitioned from in-office positions to working from home with little-to-no training and learning new technologies while also helping hiring managers understand how to juggle remote interviewing, recruitment, and onboarding. 

I think we can all agree that, for any organization to succeed, it’s essential to recruit, hire and manage the very best people. And that begins by developing the best processes for these critical functions.

Recruitment and hiring are crucial to the culture and success of a company. However, if you’re like many Human Resources (HR) and Talent Acquisition (TA) leaders, you know it can be incredibly time-consuming. Not to mention it is not always at the top of the to-do list amongst other projects, yet it is one of the most imperative organizational functions. Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) is a game changer for many organizations whose HR and/or TA departments are spread thin and need to focus on other important tasks.

Talent acquisition (TA) differs from recruitment. Talent Acquisition is a long-term, continuous strategy to acquire top talent for your company vs. recruitment where you are filling short-term vacancies with active candidates. To have the best TA strategy, you must possess a good understanding of how talent acquisition operates—and why it matters.

The majority of organizations face the "insource vs. outsource" decision in multiple aspects of their businesses.

Do you know the definition of an "employee value proposition" (EVP)?

An EVP is a statement communicating the value your company's employees gain from working in your organization. Defining your EVP and communicating it to job seekers is critical to becoming a World-Class Recruiter.

People. They're at the core of everything we do. Without people, the world does not exist. Business does not function. Commerce does not happen. So why do they take the backseat when it comes to business?

Organizations face the “build vs buy” decision in multiple aspects of their businesses. Should I expand into a new market segment or purchase a new company? Should I buy a new location or build my own site? Should I gain market share through building a more robust team or acquire a competitor?

It's not cheap when an employee leaves your business, whether through resignation or termination. The costs associated with employee turnover are both tangible and intangible.
