What are the most critical recruiting trends for 2022? And what do they mean to you and your organization? Watch this webinar as Matt Tague and Hung Lee dive into the key trends and strategies all recruiting orgs should be focusing on in 2022.

Three broad trends emerged from this year’s survey responses: (1) Data becomes the competitive advantage; (2) A continued commitment to (and challenges of) diversity hiring; (3) A growing focus on employer branding and candidate experience. It’s time to find out what’s changed in today’s talent acquisition landscape, reassess your company’s strategy, and prepare for what may lie ahead.

2022 is a candidate’s market. Talent is considering their options, and recruiting teams are struggling to compete against simultaneous offers.

Here's what your enterprise peers are thinking about, and what they're acting on.

Here’s what else your peers had to say about diversity recruiting and hiring in 2022.
