“We have to come up with creative solutions to make things easier for the candidate.”
In this candidate-driven marketplace, companies cannot afford to have application processes that slow down candidates.
“What will you offer employees to entice them to come?”
To attract candidates, companies must consider
- Competitive salaries

- Flexible hours
“What is our ‘true north?’ What are we looking to do as a company? Are we benefiting the world? Are we offering solutions out there to the marketplace that truly are a benefit and betterment to the society in which we live?”
