Recruiting & Onboarding Strategies for Winning Talent during the Great Resignation

You know the challenges we are up against right now. In November of 2021, 4.53 million Americans quit their jobs (see here). And, according to Harvard Business Review, “41% of employees in the global workforce are considering resigning from their roles, and 36% of those leaving their roles do so without having their next job in place.” This trend is called the “great resignation”. A focus on flexibility, working conditions, and compensation can all positively impact retention, but what can we do to win new talent this year?

 

As soon as a candidate starts to think about making a switch, as HR, Talent, and People leaders, we need to make sure all of the interactions they could have with our company are positive. From sourcing to recruiting to analyzing and onboarding – we need to design our processes and interactions with a candidate who has recently resigned in-mind.
