I was chatting with a lady at the gym this morning….its 8am; we are racing through our makeup and prep for the 8:30 train….

Many recruiting experts are reaching out to their top talent to make sure they have every one in their network ready to go for when things bounce back. This is a perfect opportunity for recruiters to build strong pipelines of passive talent (candidates who are employed and not aggressively seeking new opportunities).
Progressive employers are recruiting now, more than ever before. They are working on their brands, blogs and delivering the message that “they are good places to work” . They are taking stock and building the path for a strong recovery……
I’m not sure that,”we aren’t hiring” is the best message to put out there??…
