For over a decade, we have seen the battle/balancing act of skillset vs. location vs. salary/pay rate that hiring managers and companies face when looking for new employees. Typically, when it comes to hiring, most businesses pick two of the three.
Right now, we are seeing this shift where employers are feeling pressured to allow employees to work remotely—and employees now have little to no interest in going back into the office. Even in cases where employees live in the same city they work in, they are choosing to work from home.
How will this shift affect your hiring strategy in 2023 going into 2024?
🔹 Do you go with the flow and allow employees to be remote? If so, how do you keep a collaborative environment?
🔹 Do you focus your efforts on culture and location to create an atmosphere that people want to go into the office?
🔹 Do you find a balance and do a hybrid model?
🔹 Do you hire people who are not as senior in skillset and willing to be onsite to work and learn from someone who is?
Whatever the strategy is (just like having a good diet), it’s important to define what your goals are and attack them. Sometimes it is best to work with someone—accountability is a powerful tool. Reach out to someone you trust for advice (like us).
