I’ve noticed a significant shift in how companies are approaching talent acquisition since remote work became mainstream. Candidates now expect flexibility, which adds an interesting layer to negotiations. Just last week, a client mentioned they lost a top candidate because their remote policy wasn’t competitive enough. How are you all managing these new expectations during the recruiting process?
I’ve had similar experiences; one client had to up their remote offerings just to keep up — it’s like dating — if you won’t let someone work in their PJs, they’ll find someone who will! What strategies are folks using to attract candidates with these higher expectations?
Flexibility’s key now — i’ve seen clients use tools like Zoom to enhance remote culture, which really helps. How do you keep candidates engaged during the process?
