Carrie Schochet recently posted about the topic of assessing work ethic during the interview process. She referenced an article that included a study by ADP, which found that work ethic is the most crucial trait small to mid-size businesses seek in a new hire in 2024 and the second most important for large businesses. We're curious if you agree with this study. What do you consider the most important skill when evaluating a new hire? #HiringTrends #Recruiting #SoftSkills #LinkedInPoll
