The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing phases in the market for talent – the Great Rehire, the Great Resignation, and the Great Reset – have compelled organizations to upgrade their hiring processes. Adding to this challenge is the significant talent supply gap in key labor markets, particularly for niche and in-demand skills.

To address these challenges, organizations must adopt alternative talent acquisition and management strategies, leverage technology and data-driven decision-making, and develop agile solutions to meet changing demands. By embracing innovative talent practices, organizations can position themselves for growth in this competitive market.

This report is the second in a two-part series on the smart trends and innovative talent practices emerging from this volatile business and talent period. (You can access the first report, which covers predictive workforce intelligence for data-driven decision-making, here.)

In this report, we examine two additional emerging talent practices that organizations are adopting: agile talent acquisition practices for volatile conditions and removing barriers to the contingent workforce.
