Recruiting Challenges: People and Process Are the Answer
Organizations continue to be focused on finding the best talent. Even organizations that have recently announced layoffs and reorganizations are still focused on hiring, engaging, and retaining the best talent. Any time an organization hires someone – even one person – they want that person to be the best. Then they want them to become engaged with their role and stay with the company.

1) Do we have the right people involved in hiring? And have we given them the tools to be successful?
2) Are we using the right processes to source, interview, and select employees?
