The Recruiting Challenges of 2021 & What We Can Expect in 2022

Many companies experienced hiring challenges this year and will have the same challenges in 2022. Due to those challenges, employers had to realign their staffing and business goals. As a national recruiting firm, TruCapital Partners associates with a variety of business leaders, hiring managers, and talent acquisition professionals across various industries. We are on the forefront of hiring trends and the impact on our clients’ businesses. TruCapital Partners can offer solutions to the evolving staffing strategies for 2022.?

Available Talent

With the sharp economic downturn of 2020 and elevated levels of unemployment, most of our business partners were surprised to discover the 2021 employment market did not offer as many qualified candidates as they have hoped for. The staffing challenges our clients faced this year include more turnover than expected, lack of quality candidates, and candidates turning down offers. An overwhelming number of companies are finding the need to partner with talented recruiting firms to hire at all levels of experience. Our clients are finding successful hires through partnering with firms with specific industry knowledge and ability, having a high sense of urgency when hiring, and understanding the market.

Employee Retention

Our clients are reaching out to us daily to help them with unexpected turnover from employees finding a “better” opportunity. No longer can employers expect employees to stay in their current positions as they did in the past. Employers need to focus on employee retention to avoid losing their most talented employees. We are encouraging our clients to be prepared to proactively keep talent and to hire swiftly, as the capable employees will not be available for long.?

Finding the Right Candidate in 2022

The world events of 2020 have reprioritized what the workforce finds important. Appearing as the most prominent issue, is the ability to have flexibility in the office environment. To remain competitive and to attract top talent, employers need to seek new ways to create a positive culture in a mobile, remote working environment. In today’s climate, candidates are in the driver’s seat, and they are demanding work flexibility. Finding the right fit when it comes to working from home or in the office could become a significant part of hiring process.
