Data shows that the fight for talent remains fierce as many continue to look for better offers, even if they have already accepted a role.

The Gartner Voice of the candidate survey analysis of nearly 3,500 candidates across the globe in May 2023 found that flexibility was the top reason for candidates accepting an offer, with the other top drivers being better work-life balance (45 per cent) and higher compensation (40 per cent).

Many organisations are recognising that just because something has always been done, it does not mean it is always the optimal route. Similarly to how the thought of fully remote work once made some uneasy, we are now looking at another solution: the necessity of recruiting employees based on their attitude rather than simply on their academic expertise.

Companies are increasingly migrating toward performance-based hiring methods. According to a recent study from Remote, skills-based recruiting has increased 63% in the past year, as more employers are favouring expertise over academic credentials.

Life constantly brings a mix of challenges and opportunities both at work and outside of it. Rather than simply focusing on academic accomplishments, companies should give importance to assessing candidates based on their capacity to address real-world problems and solve tasks. Many companies are finding that what makes an employee truly valuable is their adaptability, willingness to learn, and ultimately, a good work ethic.

Social media is much bigger than marketing and branding alone. To truly harness the power of social, it must be used org-wide.

But empowering other teams to tap into social for business insights and create content—for your channels or theirs—requires the right training. In this article, you’ll learn about the core benefits of social media employee training, and what you need to get started.

Hiring from the outside costs 20% more, takes longer and often hurts morale for existing workers.

HR executives know that internal talent development is the right thing to do. It builds employee loyalty, reduces turnover and gives hiring managers a clearer picture of what they’re getting—an employee being considered for a new internal role already has a clear track record within the business and understands the company culture.

But many middle managers are reluctant to let go of their best workers.

At the beginning of this month, Canada’s federal minimum wage rose from $15.55 to $16.65. This move was impactful, as Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) noted at the time, because “around 26,000 working Canadians earn less than $15.55 per hour.”

Coinciding with that minimum wage increase on a federal level, Canadians in more than half of the country’s provinces will soon see their minimum wage rates increase at a regional level.

As a community, we need to change our perception of what education and training look like and rapidly modify many long-held talent acquisition structures which were designed to focus on traditional higher education degrees as prerequisites.

This isn’t to say that the requirements for many critical jobs in our region which remain open and unfilled stipulating a minimum of a bachelor’s or master’s degree aren’t valid in their intent. In fact, there are jobs which require degrees for licensing or by mandate. Yet there are far more jobs, with high projected growth potential, which don’t have any such industry or legal requirement. Instead, these job prerequisites simply suffer from legacy language in outdated job descriptions and stale position postings – zombie job requirements.
