As the labor market continues to change, economists are intrigued as some industries are adding jobs by the thousands while others are making similar-sized layoffs. For example, as companies like TikTok, Google, and Microsoft make significant cuts to their workforce, we can’t help but liken it to pandemic times and wonder if we’re seeing the next monumental wave of layoffs. Past layoffs were repercussions of overhiring. Now we’re seeing a different pattern, one far more preventable. Article in comments on the hidden and preventable reason for layoffs. #RNN #RecruitingNewsNetwork #Layoffs

It's no secret that the cost of a college education continues to climb. In 1963, the annual cost of tuition at a 4-year public school was $243 ($2,482 when adjusted for inflation). Today's in-state tuition averages $9,750 annually, while out-of-state tuition is almost 3x higher. But the rising cost of pursuing higher education is beyond financial—it can affect students’ mental health long past graduation.

There have been some erroneous claims made that with the help of generative AI anyone can be a sourcer — but I don’t think this is true. AI lacks that creative ability to understand, critically interpret, and, most importantly in my opinion, spot patterns. Article in comments on why the best tool for sourcing is (still) a sharp mind. #RNN #RecruitingNewsNetwork #Sourcing #AI
