The COVID-19 pandemic is upon us. Unprecedented measures are being taken not only in America, but also around the globe. Many organizations are following CDC guidelines of limiting interactions to help curb the spread of the virus and requiring workers to work remotely.

However, for some, this is brand new and you may not be sure how to get started. Here are some tips.

Depending on the size and age of your organization, you have potentially hundreds -- if not thousands -- of candidates in your database. And most of them are dormant candidates.

In its annual Baker’s Dozen feature, HROToday ranks the top companies in the talent management technology industry based on customer feedback surveys.

Guess how many of the people being hired today already have jobs (passive candidates)? Forty percent? Fifty-five? It’s 70 percent! That’s right, 70 percent of the global workforce is made up of passive candidates, people who are not actively looking for work, candidates who will have to be found, courted and then “sold” on your job opportunity.

Offering the chance to work remotely is one of the top perks you can offer to attract job candidates and retain employees today. Yet many employers – and their managers in particular – may be nervous about not being able to actually see their employees in person. The fear is that employees will mostly goof off and not be as productive.

So it’s now 2020. A new year.  A new decade. And the last decade was pretty busy when it comes to market: - Artificial intelligence started making its mark on the recruitment process - The decade could really be named “The Decade of the Candidate” or “The Talent Wars Decade,” because the hiring market evolved to a point where employers started marketing to candidates (and candidates started ghosting employers with impunity)

The PEO landscape is changing. Big time. The PEO sector grows at a 14 percent higher rate than the U.S. economy overall and if you want to remain competitive, it’s wise to offer an expanded service offering. Your customers NEED help with finding great talent!

As the unemployment rate continues to remain low, companies are still faced with the challenge of finding the talent they need to fill roles. And with the cost per employee increasing in terms of compensation and benefits, it is more important than ever that the talented workers you hire are the right choice the first time, and that you have a solid foundation for how you manage your labor costs moving forward.

Across every industry, many recruiters are left with tough-to-fill openings that MUST be filled by year’s end. For those organizations, they may feel as if they’re scrambling to meet those goals. But for others, the holidays can be a bit slow when it comes to recruiting.
