Sessions

Hiring has never been more difficult for employers. In fact, recent SHRM research shows that 63% of CHROs are planning to increase spending and investments in talent acquisition and recruitment in the next 12 months. But how can organizations leverage their investments most effectively?

It’s no surprise that many organizations have increased compensation to attract and retain workers amid the tight talent market, but this strategy alone might not be the most sustainable long-term solution. Using new SHRM research, this session will discuss the hiring challenges and skills shortages organizations are facing and identify the recruitment strategies organizations are currently finding to be the most effective. The session will also explore alternative recruitment strategies that organizations may be overlooking, such as skills-based hiring, and investigate the impact of pre-employment skills assessments and artificial intelligence on this practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the challenges organizations are facing as they seek to retain top talent and recruit new talent with the skills they need.
• Identify effective strategies organizations can use to remain competitive in the current talent market and beyond.
• Gain insights into how skills-based hiring and training can help organizations access new talent.
