AJ, a headhunter and founder of Future Force, is back on the show in today’s episode to discuss the great resignation with Maria. Drawing upon his vast amount of experience and insight, AJ reveals how the great resignation has affected recruiting for staffing agencies, managers, and businesses as a whole.
He starts the conversation by explaining what the great resignation is and how candidates have been ghosting interviews and not showing up. AJ also talks about Future Force and also what they are experiencing as even small businesses are finding it difficult to fill open positions. He then discusses factors that help with customer retention apart from benefits and compensation. Finishing up, AJ addresses the key question of whether or not this great resignation phenomenon will continue in 2022, by sharing his opinion that there will be a turnaround and it will become an employer’s market as opposed to what we see now.
