Sourcing & Recruiting Top Talent | #AI can't replace me | Chief Recruiting Officer @ CorpTalent
"In the eyes of a professional recruiter, uh, I mean Mom" Over the past 2 weeks, my 24-year-old son worked 157.56 hours in a manual labor job. It was a busy period that required a lot of effort from him, not a normal 2 weeks at his work. This has me thinking about his career prospects in the future. My son is not on Linked In, he doesn't have a college degree, how will he be found? My son is an A player in the world of hourly workers. He is on time, hardworking, and motivated to progress in his role. It raises the question, are recruiters and HR taking these hourly workers seriously? Are they taking time in interviews to understand their passions, what motivates them? Are they investing in their development as much as they do emerging professional leaders? Are hourly workers recognized for their role in making a company successful? Perhaps this is why companies struggle with high turnover among hourly workers. I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue.
