Challenges in Talent Acquisition

Talent acquisition is increasingly complex due to a tight labor market and economic shifts. With unemployment at 3.6% and millions quitting jobs monthly, companies face challenges in filling positions, particularly in human-centered roles like healthcare and service industries. Many organizations lack strategic handling of recruiting processes, with only about one in four companies exhibiting mature practices. This ongoing difficulty is exacerbated by declining labor force participation, early retirements during the pandemic, and the challenges posed by childcare for workers.
