ON-DEMAND
We have all seen the stats. It’s a candidates’ market. The demands from hiring managers are acute – they need great hires and they need them now.
But when you need volume hires fast, how do you guarantee quality of candidate? How do you ensure your process is fit for purpose? What could you cut back and what is essential?
Talent acquisition professionals and hiring managers are facing unprecedented pressures and they need to understand which industry innovations they could you use to meet their hiring objectives.
This Personnel Today webinar, in association with recruitment process outsourcer PeopleScout, looks at how talent acquisition professionals and HR generalists can keep their hiring managers on-side, maintaining speed and agility without damaging quality of hire.

Watch now to understand:
- What the main drivers are for the candidates’ market

The 60-minutes webinar gives attendees a practical insight into the tools and methods used by employers who are recruiting large volumes of people.
