Will resumes survive the AI era?

The job market’s current state is a major issue as this has led to a disillusioning and disheartening experience for potential candidates. This problem has arisen due to typical hiring processes that rely on electronic resume screening techniques. The practice, which has been in place for a long time, can often be confusing and unpredictable for job seekers. This has led to a growing trend of candidates rejecting the status quo and speaking out against the inefficacy of this outdated method. Many feel that the inequities encountered during the hiring process are tied to political factors and bias towards certain types of candidates. Additionally, it is disheartening for applicants to spend countless hours applying for positions that ultimately don’t align with what they are looking for.

Because of these circumstances, job seekers are now calling for more transparent and communicative hiring practices. This will recognize and appreciate their unique skill sets and backgrounds. Not only does this benefit candidates and improve their overall experiences, but it also creates a competitive advantage for employers who must maintain top talent retention and recruitment to remain successful in today’s job market.

Should you layoff people who aren't skilled?

Our response is, no. You should not layoff people because they do not have the technical skills to do work for your company. 

There simply isn’t enough people to do the work. The fact is that if you have someone that is good attitude and culture fit for the company and works well with the team, it will take you a minimum of 6 months to find a replacement. 

Can your business afford that?

Where are people moving too and why?

workforce building and succession planning

When it comes to running a successful business, there are a multitude of factors to consider, but one of the most critical is undoubtedly the location of your company. The geographical position of your business can have a significant impact on a wide variety of factors, from its overall ability to maintain long-term success, to its ability to attract and retain top-level talent. Whether you’re operating in the retail or service industries, it’s essential to carefully consider the location of your business and how it factors into your overall strategic planning.

When it comes to sourcing the best people for your organization, it’s critical to keep an open and broad-minded approach. This means that when crafting job postings and other hiring-related communications, you should take the time to strategically consider all possible locations where your potential candidates might be located. By taking a comprehensive and well-rounded approach, you’ll significantly increase your chances of finding and securing the top talent that your business needs to thrive in today’s highly competitive landscape. So, don’t sell yourself short – think big, and your business will benefit in ways you never thought possible.

Pay for time, skills, or performance?

The answer is all of the above. Pay by job title has proven to produce possible pay inequity and typically doesn’t compensate high performers over average. 

We help you offer reasonable pay for the skills and scope of the job when you create your job profiles.

People don't go to school anymore

It’s clear that people are opting and looking for new ways to get the knowledge they need to be able to do what they want to do.

This is not just for Universities. Drop in enrollment is report for public K-12 schools, colleges and trade schools.

So where are they going? We know. Match with people who are learning from experts to do the work you need done when you match with candidates in your work hub.
