Frenzied hiring activity stemming from the pandemic created a supercharged atmosphere for recruiters and unprecedented growth for talent companies. But that demand has since decreased. To thrive in the new landscape, recruitment organisations need to reevaluate goals and priorities.
In her contribution to The Global Recruiter “Moving On Up” panel, Chief Financial Officer Leslie Stroope discusses the relative business outlook of today.
