Sep 13, 2022

We are living in unprecedented times when it comes to the job market. The great resignation, exodus, reset, whatever you want to call it, never before in history have more people quit their jobs in one swift motion. 

Due to this massive reshuffling of skills and careers, it has become an employee’s market, where they are calling the shots and employers are scrambling for the right people.

Don’t worry, it's not all doom and gloom because as an employer you can take advantage of this massive shift by changing your hiring practices to suit the needs of the time. 

Now more than ever it is imperative for employers to hire not just a great candidate but someone whose values align with the company’s on a foundational level. This ensures retention in a job market where people are switching jobs almost yearly, and can help with growing your company as well.
