2022 puts workers in the driving seat  — from adigaskell.org

Excerpt:

With skills shortages common across the world in the wake of the so-called “Great Resignation”, it is perhaps no surprise that recruitment firm Monster’s latest Future of Work Report highlights the strong state of recruiting, with practically every one of the 3,000 HR and hiring professionals surveyed saying they’re planning to hire in the year ahead.

“The 2022 hiring outlook is up, and much improved from last year,” the authors say. “In fact, 93% of employers plan to hire this year – including 51% to replace or backfill staff, and 41% who plan to hire for new positions.”

What is increasingly clear is that job seekers are largely in the driving seat, even if many don’t always realize it. Monster argues that this is an ideal opportunity for workers to find a role that really fits them rather than settle for second best.
