In the high-stakes contest to secure elite digital marketing talent, staffing suppliers and buyers of staffing services face more pressure than ever before.

Honey, you’ve got a big storm coming.

That isn’t just a line delivered in a recorded acting class that became a viral meme. It also was more or less the warning that SHRM’s president and CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr. delivered to HR pros at the organization’s annual conference last year. This year’s forecast is expected to be the same, he said at SHRM’s latest annual conference held in San Diego last week.

“It’s going to be another monster year,” he told the audience during his mainstage presentation on June 30, citing challenges including AI creating job displacement, rising layoffs, and DEI “becoming a four-letter word.”

Check out the article in the comments for the top three issues HR pros must tackle, according to SHRM’s CEO.

A strong recruitment process does more than fill open positions. It builds your workforce, shapes your company culture, and directly impacts business outcomes. Yet many organizations struggle with inefficiencies, miscommunication, and bias that prevent them from hiring the right candidates quickly and fairly.

Whether you’re scaling your team or fine-tuning your hiring practices, improving your recruitment process can lead to better candidate experiences, stronger hires, and more equitable outcomes.

A surge in layoffs during the first half of 2025 has neared record-breaking pace, with March’s total alone the third-highest number of single-month layoffs in history, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That total was eclipsed only by April and May 2020 during the pandemic. The 696,309 layoffs announced through May of 2025 represent an increase of 80% over the first five months of last year and are just 65,000 short of matching 2024’s total layoff numbers.
And while the reasons for these layoffs may vary, business realities remain the same. How can companies making cuts also keep the employees who remain productive—and retain top talent?

To hear both recruitment professionals and job seekers alike tell it, the hiring process has become incredibly involved and time-consuming of late — to the point some argue it’s often working against the goal of truly finding the best candidate.

That’s despite a low unemployment rate — at least in the U.S., where it currently stands at 4.2%. In theory, that means job seekers would have more of an upper hand and companies would be streamlining the application process as a result, experts say.

Check out the article in the comments to see why companies are making job applicants jump through so many hoops these days, and why AI is to blame.

Adding the word “voluntary” in front of separation, retirement, and severance packages seem to be the new, empathetic way for companies to handle layoffs whether it’s the tech industry or higher education.

These programs, also broadly known as voluntary incentive separation programs, have been around for decades. They first gained traction in the ’80s and ’90s and saw a resurgence of popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When considering a new job, workers in the healthcare industry are nearly 10% more likely to prioritize an inclusive workplace, compared with all other professionals.

That’s according to nearly 37,000 LinkedIn members surveyed in recent months about what matters most to them when they’re considering a new job opportunity. And that’s just one example of how candidate priorities can vary depending on what role they’re currently in. While there are a few things that virtually everyone cares about (more on those in a moment), LinkedIn’s data also reveals what priorities are uniquely important to specific talent pools.

Let’s be real—most job postings are a snoozefest. They start with corporate fluff, use confusing titles, and forget one major thing: you’re writing for humans. People who are busy, burnt out, and scanning fast. That’s why we need to flip the script and go candidate-first.

Check out the article in the comments on candidate-first job postings: how to write for humans first, and robots second.
