Panel: Recruiting Market

February 22, 2023
Panel: Recruiting Marketing

In today’s volatile labor market, it feels like we’re constantly flip-flopping from “everything’s great,” to “everybody panic.” At least, that’s how our guest Mike Seidle, Co-Founder at PivotCX, summarized the situation. Wes Winham, CEO and Founder at Woven, and Raman Ohri, CEO and President at SEP, also join us for this conversation about trends in recruiting.

We discuss the challenges recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates are all facing in the current market, specifically in the tech space, and share options for addressing these challenges effectively. Whether you’re struggling to get candidates’ attention, navigating compensation shifts, or wondering how to engage with recruiters as a candidate, you’ll walk away from this conversation with an actionable piece of advice.

We’d love to hear from you! Reach out to [email protected] to share your feedback on this show.
