Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:

Q: Have you ever rehired a past employee OR returned to a former employer?

  • Yes - 61%
  • Yes, but I regret it - 18%
  • No, I would never - 8%
  • I am considering it - 13%

Our findings reveal that a majority of respondents have rehired a past employee or returned to a former employer, underscoring the value of maintaining strong relationships with top talent. However, a notable percentage expressed regret or hesitation, highlighting the complexities involved in rehiring or returning to previous roles. These findings suggest that while there are clear benefits to leveraging established talent connections, careful consideration is needed to ensure a successful transition. If your organization is exploring these options, our team at Alaant can help you navigate the process and make strategic talent decisions. Let’s connect to discuss how we can support your hiring or rehiring efforts!
