It’s easy to forget that every employee hired into your organization was once a candidate applying for a new job opportunity. These applicants chose your company over hundreds of others in the hopes of starting a new career journey. And it’s a jobseeker’s market today.

The economy has now produced more than 21 million new jobs since the labor market collapsed in 2010. Today’s jobseekers can be more selective, so the pressure is on when it comes to planning for a solid hiring process and attracting the best talent.
