4 of the Best Ways to Personalize Your Hiring Process

In September alone, 64,000 new positions—as Jessy Bains reports for LinkedIn News—were added to the Canadian job market. And while this is three times more than the expected 20,000 economists anticipated, it is still below pre-pandemic job rates.

Meanwhile, numbers of positions in real estate, finance and insurance, construction, information, and recreation continue to fall. So, especially if you're looking to hire in the latter industries, how can you increase the likelihood of catching the eyes of top talent? We recommend personalizing…

How to Find Your Top Potential before You Pivot Your Career

While there may be newer reasons to pivot your career—from AI making more and more workers redundant to workplaces now mandating a return to offices for the first time since the outbreak of COVID-19—doing so is certainly not a new concept.
