The candidate shortage is well documented. The follow-on effects of changing candidate behaviour, ghosting and counteroffers are almost universal, and I have addressed them several times. You are facing it too, every day. Recruiters must change their inputs if they want to change the outputs. That means doubling down on questioning, relationship-building, avoiding assumptions and […].

In 2020, the disruption and changes organizations faced forced many businesses to make quick changes to processes. Companies implemented work-from-anywhere or remote work policies, performance management practices were reformed, and technology played an even more critical role in the success of teams. HR leaders placed a larger emphasis on employee mental health and well-being, and many workers shifted toward a purpose-driven approach to work.

A few weeks ago, a startling article from the New York Times showed that almost 1 million mothers have left the workforce. Before the pandemic, more women were employed than men for the first time ever. Today, we’re back down to 1980s levels of women in the labor force. These grim statistics have caused some people to begin to refer to the current recession as the shecession (short for “she-recession”) because of the unequal impact it has had on women.

As our workforce evolves, so must the way we support it. With more employees choosing to work beyond age 65, HR leaders are increasingly being called upon to guide aging employees through one of the most complex transitions in their professional lives - from employer sponsored plans to Group Medicare. Without clear guidance, confusion around eligibility, coverage options, and cost implications can lead to uncertainty and missed opportunities for optimized benefits.

There is so much angst about random candidate behaviour right now. ‘Erratic, mind-changing, counteroffers, ghosting.’ The response from most recruiters has been predictable. Change nothing – yet hope for candidates to change. Good luck with that plan. If ever we needed proof that recruiting requires a dynamic, evolving skill set, Covid provided that.

During the London 2012 Olympics Usain Bolt set a new event record. Streaking by the competition in a staggering 9.63 seconds, Bolt solidified his position as the fastest man on the planet. It would make sense then, during the 4 x 100m relay, with three teammates who are all statistically slower than Usain, that their overall time would reflect this, right?
