Why aren’t we able to acquire sufficient qualified applicants for our open positions?

The labor force participation rate has hovered above 60% for the past year, so why can’t we get enough applicants for our open positions?*

Posting to Indeed or ZipRecruiter is no longer enough.

Often, we’re fishing in the wrong pond, or we don’t have the right bait. We can’t simply “post it to Indeed” anymore. We must use every arrow in our quiver—especially digital ads and the right content to drive applications to your team.
