Recruiting for the 21st Century: The Market

Recruiting for the 21st Century: The Market

It's the beginning of a new century and a new millennium, and the employment market is hot, hot, hot.

Employee attitudes have shifted from "I'm sure glad I have a job" to "What have you done for me lately?"

Boomers, members of the sociological phenomenon that has defined our culture since 1946, are getting ready to retire, and fewer workers from succeeding generations are available to step in.

But the boomers aren't gone yet, and using the skills of older workers is part of the answer to today's labor crunch.

This course will explore how today's businessperson can define both the labor marketplace and the business culture and will also investigate how to develop recruiting and retention policies to match the needs and wants of both.
