Social Media Wittering Away?

This week on TRF we cover:


  • Big thanks for our listeners who participated in our little survey. Some great suggestions that we will incorporate into the show!


In The News:


  • The US labour market is still chugging along with a 3.7% unemployment rate and 216,000 new jobs added in December. 


  • 217% increase in the number of Canadian employers using apprenticeships to fill the labour and skills shortage, all in the SMB sized companies.


Tip of the Week


  • Volunteer. Never loose sight of what it feels like to be a job seeker. Supporting a job seeker with tips and advice is looks good on you!


Recruiting Insights


  • Explaining pay policy to employees and to job seekers is art and science, well its math actually. Only 38% of HR pros surveyed felt they could effectively explain it to their managers. 


  • Hiring the wrong person is expensive and deflating is not news to any of us. Mastering the intake to get the job description right is key.


  • Gartner research predicts 50% of consumers will limit their interactions on social media by 2025 We see this as an early warning sign in recruitment advertising
