How High Inflation and The Great Resignation Are Impacting Recruiting

As any TA professional knows, hiring candidates for open roles has never been more difficult. And now, with workers quitting their jobs at record-high numbers, keeping your workforce can seem just as challenging. With rising inflation and more job openings than job seekers, workers feel more empowered than ever to quit in search of a pay increase. 

 

So, how can recruiters find enough candidates to backfill their open jobs in a tight labor market? And, what is important to job seekers that have a plethora of options? Join Appcast’s Labor Economist, Andrew Flowers, to discuss the impact of high inflation and “The Great Resignation” on recruiting and get actionable strategies that will help you attract and hire the candidates you need.

Work for My Day and TIAA’s Approach to Hybrid Working

[INTERACTIVE SESSION]

The Components that Make a Winning HR/TA Relationship

The business and its hiring managers can often be a challenge, but we expect that and have ways to solve for it. The candidates can often be a source of frustration to our recruiters. But, again, we expect that and have ways to solve for it. When our compatriots in HR also start becoming a challenge, what is TA to do!? We have to nip that in the bud before our recruiters run for greener pastures. Join this session so we can talk about and share ideas on making HR our strongest partners, proponents, and allies.

Optimizing a Centralized Talent Acquisition Model for High Volume Recruitment

The onset of the pandemic in 2020 accelerated our need for all recruitment to shift to a centralized model.  While creating the model, it became clear very early on that consistent processes, defined measurements, and change management were crucial elements for success, along with speed.  During this session, we’ll discuss how remote teams may leverage processes, data and tools to provide real-time visibility into high volume recruitment even for the busiest stakeholders.
