“Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places”
More candidates doesn’t necessarily mean better candidates – yet all too often, staffing agencies and employers spend thousands of dollars to attract new candidates, without first knowing if they already have relevant talent and where the gaps lie. Next-generation recruitment – and business – strategy is all about having detailed intelligence on supply and demand – which skills are hiring managers looking for, what do you already have in-house, and what do you need to be pursuing?
