It’s amazing to look back and see just how much HR and recruitment have evolved in just last year. At the start of last year, unemployment in the United States was at an all-time low. If you were able, willing, and qualified, finding work wasn’t that hard. All that changed when the COVID-19 struck.
From 3.5% in January to 14.7% in April, the unemployment rate in the USA shot up significantly as millions were now out of work. It currently stands around 6.7% and with the vaccinations taking place –there is the hope of better times ahead.
