Here's what's happening this week:
Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:
Q: If you're in the job market, how long have you been looking?
- Less than a month - 21%
- 1-6 months - 25%
- 6+ months - 29%
- Not actively looking - 25%
The results of this week's poll highlight a key reality in today’s job market—while some job seekers are finding opportunities quickly, a significant portion have been searching for six months or longer. This extended job search signals challenges in matching talent with the right roles, whether due to skill gaps, market conditions, or hiring processes that aren’t moving fast enough. For employers, this is an opportunity. There’s talent actively looking, but are they finding you? If your hiring process is slow or lacks visibility, you may be missing out on qualified candidates ready to make a move. At Alaant, we help businesses streamline hiring, attract top talent, and make the right connections faster. If you’re struggling to fill roles or want to optimize your recruitment process, let’s talk!
