How to Hire ‘Em & How to Keep ‘Em: Webinar Sneak-Peek

The word on the street is this – it’s a candidate market.

What does that mean?

It means that today’s job seekers have the power to accept or deny job offers much more liberally than they did last year – or just a few months ago. The current unemployment rate is hovering around 5.5 percent, which means less qualified candidates applying to your job openings and more employees seeking higher positions.

This rings especially true within the areas of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

If you’re a job seeker within these fields, you’ve got it made. But if you’re trying to recruit or hire in these areas, you may come upon some obstacles.

For example:

• Qualified job seekers are accepting jobs with your higher-paying competitor
• Not-quite-qualified job seekers are applying for jobs beyond their skill set
• The overall number of candidates applying to STEM jobs is shrinking
• Qualified employees are shopping around for higher paying jobs, because their skill sets are in demand – this could mean your employees are too!
