The Great Reassessment
Today’s job seekers are redefining work as we know it — here’s a look at what they’ve come to expect and how hoteliers can win.
Summary
Job seekers' expectations of both work and the job search changed drastically since the onset of the pandemic. Because of the historic labor supply and demand imbalance, people today have realized they no longer have to work jobs with little flexibility and rigid hours — nor do they have to endure painful, lengthy job application and interview processes.
In other words, job seekers today have the upper hand. And as a result its impacting employers' ability to not only attract applicants but also keep them interested throughout the hiring process.
In our survey of job seekers across the industries that were most impacted by the pandemic and the post-COVID hiring struggles — from healthcare to hospitality to automotive — we set out to find out exactly what job seekers today expect during the job search and from work itself.
In our latest study, The Great Reassessment, we outline these findings.
