Technology and Covid-19, how the pandemic’s changed candidate and employee behavior, and the challenges employers face in today’s labor market.

The world of work has changed in many ways, and one fascinating area is the adoption of a more agile approach to talent. Project-based contracting is on the rise employers work to ensure they have the right skills at the right time in rapidly changing business environments.
