In this Trending Topics episode, Sam and Lex discuss the rising trend of boomerang hires — AKA employees who return to their former employers after some time away.

Throughout the conversation, they explore the benefits of these boomerang hires — including faster onboarding and fresh perspectives — while also addressing the challenges recruiters face in integrating boomerangs into their hiring strategies. 

Incorporating a boomerang play into your hiring strategy may or may not make sense depending on the industry you work in, the size of the companies you're hiring for, etc. — but with boomerangs becoming more common, it's certainly worth at least considering whether engaging former employees could be a good move.
