The Great Resignation is causing hiring shortages and retention issues across all industries and types of companies. Employee demands and workforce dynamics are continuously changing, especially for wage earners, making it difficult for staffing and recruitment agencies to fill roles fast enough to meet the demands of their clients.
The good news is, with the right information, you can take a proactive approach to understanding workers’ wants and needs to improve retention and achieve your placement goals. In our 2022 State of the Worker Report by Everee and Checkr, we learned:
- 79% of workers would prefer to get paid once a week
- 20% of candidates drop out of the hiring process because the background check was taking too long
- 1 in 5 workers plan to leave their job in the next year
