Despite an incredibly unpredictable 2020 where COVID-19 sent shock waves through the US economy, job seekers plan to search for jobs in 2021. While only 10% of job seekers said that finding a job in the new year would be easier than the year before, there’s plenty of positivity on the horizon. To learn more about how these candidates plan to up their job search game in 2021 and more, check out Nexxt’s latest infographic.
Just because 2020 is over doesn’t mean that the search for the essential worker is over. So long as people are waiting for their vaccine, and ordering groceries online, and driving through testing centers, we’re still going to need to focus on continuing our hiring of those that kept us going through 2020, the brave, the courageous, the essential worker.
For those tasked with hiring essential workers – we have to think about all aspects of the hire, from where we find them, who we target, how we message them, when we can onboard, and what we do to keep them engaged.
What happens when our employer brand doesn’t match up with our candidate experience?
We enter the New Year with new goals, new perspectives, new year, new me. One thing that doesn’t need to be revamped is our top Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). We can apply new programs and we can revitalize a lot within our organization to attract new candidates in 2021, but ways in which we measure our success will just need a renewed focus so we can observe our progress.
