With 2021 being a continuation of last year’s workplace challenges, employers are at least confident they’ll be able to recruit the right talent this year. But they’re not oblivious to the challenges.
Job posting and recruitment website, Monster, conducted an employer survey to gauge how companies feel about the state of the workplace. Despite COVID-related layoffs driving unemployment to record levels, 82% of employers say they plan to hire this year and 93% say they feel confident they’ll find the right candidates. Many roles lost to the pandemic will be refilled (42%), but employers feel confident enough in the new year to create brand-new positions (40%).
