We welcome back to the podcast Kelly Fuller, Vice President Talent and Workforce Development at the Columbus Chamber.

The need for skilled/qualified applicants to fill the Columbus pipeline is critical right now. We provide you with an overview of the current Central Ohio workforce (interviewing/hiring/retention), particularly since the pandemic.

In today’s recruiting processes, what issues do special populations face in their job search?

How has retention impacted the workforce?

And what does 2023 bring to the hiring process?

Here's a link to the resources mentioned in this episode.

We would love to hear from you.
