While hiring itself isn’t too complicated, hiring the RIGHT people is hard.
With a shortage of over a million skilled laborers and ever-increasing demand as America ramps up production again, there’s more pressure than ever for companies to get the workers they need to execute their goals. Unfortunately, these positions can require a precise fit of skills and experience—and internal talent acquisition isn’t always equipped to find that fit with the tools they have.

At Skillwork, we call this a negative outcome in the recruiting process. And for so many companies, these negative outcomes feel unavoidable.
