The "Fed-up managers" in this Fortune article are wrong. WFH is not over, because the workforce says so (not fed-up managers). These are the same ones griping about the labor shortage. Who's entitled now?

Adapt or die.

For better recruiting success, work on your website. Look at your “careers” section through the eyes of a jobseeker. Anything there grab you? Or would it send you to the next site? Employer brand, video testimonials, a window into your world, why should they consider you?

Stop offloading recruiting to Artificial Intelligence. Read the resumes. Your AI is leaking great candidates like a sieve. Their stuff is ending up in front of actual human eyeballs at another company. That’s why they’re not working for you. It's not easy. But it’s essential.

[Richard Hadden @rehaddencsp]

Looking to recruit more candidates? Create a great onboarding experience, and then ask for referrals during a new employee's first week – while they’re excited! #recruiting #onboarding #warfortalent

[Richard Hadden @rehaddencsp]

Recruiting? Know the difference between job requirements... and preferences. Are you looking for people who don't exist? Be willing to hire and develop potential. We may not have the luxury of a “ready-made” candidate these days. #recruiting #warfortalent

Looking for proven talent? Consider your recent retirees. Maybe this whole retirement thing wasn’t what they’d hoped. They’ve still got some years left to give, and they’re perfect in many ways. They know the job, the people, the culture. #warfortalent

[Richard Hadden @rehaddencsp]

Yet another source for new hires: Those who turned you down before. It’s not groveling. Things are different now. They may be willing to reconsider. If they still say “no thanks”, ask them for a referral. #recruiting #warfortalent

[Richard Hadden @rehaddencsp]

Another often overlooked source for new hires: Runners up – they came in second in an earlier round of hiring. Now they may not be looking so “second place”. Make them an offer. #hiring #warfortalent #recruiting

[Richard Hadden @rehaddencsp]

Looking to fill positions? Reach out to boomerang hires - former good employees who left you, but now may be wishing they hadn't. They're embarrassed to ask for their old job back. Invite them to apply. It's a new day. #warfortalent

[Richard Hadden @rehaddencsp]

Want to impress a new hire before they even start? Have your CEO send a personal welcome letter to them, on paper, in the mail. That’ll knock their socks off! #onboarding #warfortalent

[Richard Hadden @rehaddencsp]

You found 'em. You persuaded 'em to come work for you. You onboarded 'em, and they decided to come back. Now, keep 'em!

@lennycurry Yeah, a whole 7 other places in the US have a higher COVID death rate than we do. We’re great 🙄#viruswhatvirus?

@Mehitabel1234 @ReutersUS Not as long as people refuse to get vaccinated. They are responsible for this.
