Staffing employment can be a good bellwether of economic trends, and the recent sector-specific #JobsReport data indicates a strong but cautious labor market. The market’s overall strength continues to create opportunities for staffing companies to address specific talent needs in the short-term, helping employers fill an estimated 9 million open positions, as well as to source and deploy talent for project-specific engagements. Thanks to ROY MAURER of SHRM for the chance to share my thoughts on recent data and industry trends. Read more at https://bit.ly/3HOGRMS.

Are you like me in that you are scratching your head regarding these findings? Even with all the available technology and tools available, needing to improve the Candidate Experience has been a focus topic for decades! It’s dismaying that not only does this continue as a topic, but that the data is revealing that their experience has gotten worse. IMHO, til now, ALL of the solutions being brought forward are “band-aid” approaches that DO NOT address the core issues that are leading to this. A poor Candidate Experience is not THE problem, it is a symptom. Craig Fisher and I are standing by if you are interested in talking about addressing the core issues. 😀

This part. The highest rated employers in our CandE benchmark research tend to use AI recruiting technologies (which is less than 20% of our participating employers). But, it's been rough in recruiting and candidate resentment is on the rise. Candidate resentment impacts a business and its brand because candidates who report having a very poor recruiting experience are less likely to apply again, refer others, have any brand affinity, or make purchases from that company.
