On-demand Webinar: Resourcing Revolution – How to Hire in a Candidate-led Market

Posted on by cspivack

Tables have turned. The roles have revolved. For the first time in decades, candidates rather than employers have the upper hand in controlling their fate.

Those involved in recruiting new staff, whether it’s the hiring manager or the professionals working in talent acquisition and HR, are facing candidates in the driving seat: prospective hires who are able to command more negotiating power when it comes to not only salary, but the entire package.

In the era of hybrid working, your next hire may also want to dictate where they work and when.

This Personnel Today webinar, in association with RPO specialist PeopleScout, will provide insights into how you can succeed in the current candidates’ market. Watch now, on-demand.
