Here's what's happening this week:
Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:
Q: What would you do if a recruiter contacted you about your career?
- Ignore or ghost them – 13%
- I’d be open to talking w/ them - 85%
- Feel annoyed & block them – 2%
Stats don’t lie. In case it’s not clear, your employees are taking the call. They may not move just yet, but the fact that 85% of candidates are willing to take the call says that employers can do more to retain their most valuable resource – their people. It’s an investment of time, energy and money to recruit and retain top talent. Don’t take yours for granted. The experts at Alaant are here to help. Reach out today with questions about what you can do to hold onto your workforce.
