Recruiters, you deserve a round of applause. Strike that — perhaps a very long vacation or, say, a hefty raise would be more fitting. The past two years have been a roller coaster for your profession. After a hiring slowdown spurred by COVID-19 in 2020 and layoffs across many recruiting teams, hiring has come roaring
Talent acquisition can’t bring diversity to the workforce on its own. Even when a company is successfully recruiting and hiring employees who look like the broader community or their customer base, much still needs to be done to ensure the success of the workforce. That is the Achilles’ heel of many companies, says Cynthia Owyoung
Many of the jobs that today’s students will be doing in 2030 haven’t been invented yet. The big question for talent acquisition teams everywhere: What will those jobs be?

Hiring the best talent, whether active or passive, requires exceptional recruiting skills. This is especially true today with turnover accelerating, companies getting into bidding wars for the strongest people, and candidates being offered multiple opportunities, with the biggest compensation package often winning the battle.

Reboarding, for its part, could be thought of as onboarding’s lesser-known cousin — the two processes share some similarities, but reboarding’s end goal is to help acclimate both new and long-tenured employees to new ways of
In the midst of the Great Reshuffle, it’s more crucial than ever to keep top talent. For starters, replacing employees is shockingly expensive — a trillion dollars a year in the U.S. alone.
