Talk to almost any Human Resources professional or recruiting agency and they’ll tell you these are unprecedented times. Employers no longer have the upper hand in hiring; candidates do. With businesses at all levels struggling to fill vacancies, how can you compete, not break the budget, and still hire?

For some, it might take a massive overhaul of your recruiting program, for others, it’s as simple as retooling or tweaking job descriptions and job titles. Or, you might be one of the fortunate ones who just needs to get creative about the salary and hiring process overall. No matter what bucket you align with, there’s something to hear in this session.

We’ll also discuss interview types, styles and what questions can get you into a legal quagmire.

Why Should You Attend

With the “Great Resignation” and now the “Quiet Resignation”, you might have experienced trouble filling positions, especially if your organization is one in which salary might not be as competitive as other larger corporations. 

Almost every industry is in “fear, uncertainty, and doubt mode” about their talent pool. In one field, roughly 61% of businesses struggled to hire professionals. 

We’ll talk about redesigning roles, job descriptions, titles, and going grassroots on what your hiring needs are, and aren’t.

Time is also set aside to review illegal interview questions and bias in the hiring process.

Topic Background

Just as COVID changed the faced of how we interact, socially, it’s changed the job market. Employees are now seeking not only mission and value-alignment, but also, they’re also looking for competitive salaries sometimes 20% more than what an organization might have budgeted.

There is hope and a pathway. You just have to get creative.
