As a job-hunter, you’re focused on finding a position that’s a good fit for your skills and interests. But how do you know if the company is a good fit – that the organization aligns with your own needs and ideas? Hiring experts advise looking for these “green flags.”
Technology is rapidly changing the business environment. Estimates indicate that within the next year, more than 50% of American workers will need new skills to continue to perform their current roles. In response, forward-thinking companies are investing in “upskilling.”
It’s been a crazy couple of years for hiring personnel. Between the pandemic and the resulting Turnover Tsunami, human resources departments have been hard-pressed to keep their companies fully staffed. Whatever is in store for 2022, it’s time to develop a staffing plan to meet those challenges.
Workers have left their jobs in record numbers this year, with many industries experiencing an unprecedented competition for talent. If you want your company to be a casualty of the Great Resignation, don’t pay any attention to some of the top reasons employees quit.
Now more than ever, employers are focusing on diversity within the workplace. And while it may sound easy to “just hire more diverse staff,” in practice, it isn’t that simple.
In the interest of developing a diverse workforce, companies must focus on a range of hiring factors, including age. Baby Boomers are retiring from their careers just as members of the newest Generation Z (born 1996 or later) begin theirs.
Interviews are an essential part of the hiring process. They enable employers and candidates to meet and discuss the company and the open position. There are many questions an interviewer could ask a job applicant – but do you know the questions you should not ask?
If it’s been a while since you thought about your company’s online job application, it’s time for a review. As businesses across the U.S. continue the struggle to find qualified applicants, re-assessing your company’s application process makes sense for several reasons.
Before a job interview, you prepare to answer various questions about your expertise, skills and career goals. Are you ready, however, when the interviewer asks, “Do you have any questions for me?”
Experts predict a looming “Turnover Tsunami” as waves of workers – more than 50%, according to some estimates – prepare to make career moves.
