Recruiting in 2018
2018 will continue to be a tight market for talent. Across the US, employers have been struggling to find skilled candidates for openings they need to fill. The economy has essentially been at full employment since early 2016 when the unemployment rate dropped below 5 percent. For many skilled positions, the unemployment rates are even lower. According to US Bureau of Labor Statistics data, unemployment rates for many key financial and technology positions are less than 2%. At the same time, turnover rates are up, with increasing numbers of workers confident that they can improve their career prospects with a new employer.
With businesses continuing to expand at a steady pace, employers are developing new criteria and new strategies to overcome recruiting challenges. Read more about intensive approaches to talent sourcing and how GEA provides a resource for Georgia employers. |
