Webinar: Strategies to Find the Right Talent for Growth Companies

About This Webinar

Filling an open position these days feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. The competition for talent is a global race and the number of unfilled roles continues to rise, but is this challenge more prevalent in specific industries?

With trends showing that the power now lays on employees, is simply offering remote or hybrid work options and fun perks enough to appeal to the right talent? Another factor that seems to have been overlooked these days is talent retention. Are you able to keep your employees happy to prevent them from voluntarily leaving? Roughly 5.8 million people have voluntarily left their jobs in the US as of July 2021 as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The question is, what is driving employees to leave?

During this 60-min live panel, we will explore these topics and provide actionable tips to help you navigate these challenges.
