Pam Verhoff with Advanced RPO Talks Recruiting Challenges and RPO Solutions
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the Bureau of Labour Stats in December of 2016, the top 3 (and 6 out of top 20) most new jobs are heathcare jobs. With the increased demand of heathcare jobs, health care service providers will have increased challenge of finding qualified candidates, and will need more aggressive and innovative recruiting solutions to meet demands. In this edition of our #AskAnRPOExpert series, the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association talks with Matt Baker, President and CEO of KNK Recruiting about healthcare RPO as a viable solution for healthcare recruiting needs.
Social media isn’t always the first place that talent managers think of when it comes to sourcing talent, but one might argue that in the near future, it might be. As of June in 2015, there are about 83 million millennials, which represents more than one quarter of the US population. That’s a segment of the population who is well-adjusted with social media. Understanding and engaging in that landscape is becoming increasingly important, if not mandatory for recruiting and staffing professionals. In this edition of our #AskAnRPOExpert series, we asked Richard Eib, Partner at 212 Staffing and Mark Bohdanyk, Marketing Manager at HireMojo to talk about the basics of social recruiting, why it’s growing and how it can play an essential role in the hiring process.
Technology has changed many aspects of the human resources industry. Its had an especially powerful impact on recruiting. From more advanced applicant tracking systems to creating more transparent applicant-employer relationships. In this new series, we interview experts about the compelling issues facing the industry today. We asked Ryan Baca, Vice President at About Talent and Mike Tastle, Senior Vice President at Accolo to answer some of our burning questions about technology and its influence on the recruiting and hiring landscape today.
