#RedBranchWeekly: Are You Ready for the Future of Talent Acquisition?

By Alison Wurth:

I’m far from the first or last person that will say it: recruitment is changing and it will continue to do so. Millennials are dominating the workforce and have no issue with moving from job to job – seeking the best offer they can get. The top reason millennials leave their companies is because they received a better job offer from another company. This is at 30% and in a candidate-driven market, this is expected to rise.

So what does this mean for you? In short, you need to stay a step ahead of the changes, be proactive about your talent pipeline and maybe even start to think globally. But this should be nothing to worry about! The pros at Oleeo, IQTalent Partners and XOR.ai have the tips and tricks you need to stay ahead of the ever-changing world of talent acquisition. Ready to get a step ahead of your competition?
