The current economy is facing a talent deprivation crisis where there is a shortage of skilled workers to meet the demands of companies. Competition for top talent is fierce and as a result, companies are constantly seeking new and innovative ways to stand out from the crowd and attract the best candidates.

Once upon a time in the enchanted Kingdom of Recruitment, there was a powerful tool that made the lives of recruiters easier. This tool, was known far and wide as the ATS, the all-powerful Applicant Tracking System that had the capability to find and bring forth the best talent to recruiters.

Recruiters do amazing work. From connecting people with great opportunities and shepherding candidates through the hiring maze, to persuading talented professionals to accept a job offer and so much more.

It’s no surprise that the recruiting landscape has shifted over the last several years and candidate expectations are looking a whole lot different than what you may be used to.

It’s tough out there for talent acquisition teams across all industries. However, healthcare recruiters are facing particularly difficult challenges to attract and hire talent beginning with severe and persistent clinical worker shortages.

Is poor communication costing you great hires? Employer brand messaging has become more essential than ever in today’s hiring climate.

In recognition of International Women’s Day, we went straight to GR8 People’s favorite sources of inspiration—CEO Diane Smith and Chief Product Officer Jayne Kettles. Given their successful track record as co-founders of two prominent talent acquisition technology companies over the past 20 years, we couldn’t imagine better voices to weigh in on the state of women in the workforce.

Those who have existing Talent CRM programs in place can attest that success is rooted in authentic and credible candidate communications, which require an in-depth understanding of one’s target audiences—often in the form of candidate personas—and the ability to personalize the experiences of your talent pool members.
