The Seven Deadly Sins of Recruiting

  • Jobs have changed. Now more than ever, openings in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) are dominating the global marketplace.
  • In fact, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics believes that the STEM workforce in the U.S will total more than 8.65 million workers by 2018.
  • Jobseekers have changed. Research shows that Generation Y workers will change jobs every 3-4 years—because they want more from employment than paychecks and benefits.
  • Technology has changed. Advances in SaaS platforms, mobile technology, and social media have provided companies with a vast new assortment of recruiting tools.
