Questions Include

  • Talk about the complexities associated with managing employees across multiple worksites, job locations, and countries. How is it further complicated by the needs of salaried v hourly workers?
  • Increased engagement, lower costs, improved retention, and a shorter hiring process are a few of the benefits of a shift to internal mobility. We’ll talk about hiring from outside the org shortly. But first, are companies prioritizing internal hiring? If so why?
  • New skills are the top growth competency for recruiters. These skills are focused on diversity and inclusion, making decisions, and learning how to use an HR strategy. They need to be able to bring clear and continuous talent data to the marketplace, implement a new employer brand, and streamline the virtual hiring process. Tell me more about how recruiting has dramatically changed over the past couple of years.
  • Organizations across the globe have reshaped their talent acquisition procedures with increased use of Automated HR tools and AI. Many employers believe that the entire recruitment process will be automated by the end of the 2020s. What’s your take?
  • In the wake of the pandemic, we have seen a dramatic increase in the hiring of recent graduates and first-timers. Wages have gone up too. “According to a recent report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average starting salary for the college Class of 2020 was $55,260 — 2.5% higher than that of the Class of 2019 ($53,889 ) and 8.5% higher than the Class of ’18 ($50,944). Among graduates who majored in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, average earnings were even higher.”  Why are companies so reliant on grads to fill the talent gaps?
  •  “The concept of a successful onboarding process was fundamentally redefined by the pandemic and remote work.” Can you wrap up today by sharing what you’re seeing that’s working when it comes to making employees feel welcomed as part of the onboarding process?
