COVID-19 Series: How to Capitalize on an Uncertain Talent Market

Talking Talent with PeopleScout

Despite the challenges of 2020, there is a silver lining for employers. This year has created one of the best hiring markets that employers have seen in a long time. At the end of 2019, employers were facing skills shortages and record low unemployment; it was difficult to find candidates for almost any role. Now, there are a vast number of top-tier candidates who are looking for new jobs. But, those in-demand candidates won’t stay on the market forever and the employers that start hiring now will have a competitive advantage: They’ll be able to capture those high-caliber workers first. So, how do you get ahead? We asked PeopleScout Vice President of Global Growth Operations and Solution Design, Krista Sullivan de Torres, to talk about how employers can capitalize on the current talent market.
