As the economy recovers from the pandemic, one key indicator is getting a lot of attention - the job market. In many sectors, competition for top talent never waned, while others saw historic unemployment. The talent wars are yet again heating up, and companies are scrambling to get ready. So what factors are at play, and which industries are most likely to feel its effects the hardest? Let’s examine the trends that have contributed to increased competition for top talent.

As businesses begin to rebound, one thing is clear: competition for talent is tough, and it’s going to be that way for some time. In nearly every industry, there are simply not enough workers to fill all the open positions. And you know what this means for recruiting. It’s poised to be more challenging than ever for as long as the talent shortage lasts. Virtual recruiting events offer myriad benefits that change the game for today’s recruiters, and make it possible to do more with less, even in the tightest talent markets.

With Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion hiring initiatives on the rise, TA professionals everywhere are eager to learn new ways in which to enhance DEI recruiting and make it a working part of their own talent acquisition strategy. So what better way to get inspired than to learn from a company who’s set the gold standard in diverse talent acquisition? During this exciting and interactive webinar, we had Jason Boone, Diversity & Veteran Outreach Lead at Lockheed Martin walk us through Lockheed Martin’s philosophy for building and nurturing their diverse talent community and explain how they use virtual events to build their long-term talent pipeline.
