Big Tech Layoffs: The Top Talent Acquisition Opportunity For Small Businesses In 2023?
Feb 01, 2023
During The Great Resignation, countless tech workers left their jobs searching for higher pay. But as the wave of tech layoffs keeps accelerating, tech employees are rethinking whether to leave their job and face a highly competitive search. So, what does this mean for small businesses, especially regarding talent acquisition?
The shift from The Great Resignation to what is becoming known as 'The Great Recommitment' might be one of the most significant hiring opportunities for small businesses in 2023.
Granted, in a tight economy, not every business is in a position to hire right now. But suppose you are a company fortunate enough to either grow or continue to hire. In that case, this is a unique opportunity to grab some top talent that needs to be kept because of performance.
So, if you're a hiring manager who usually considers gaps in resumes as a serious detriment to a person's qualifications, it might be a good idea to throw that out of the window. There are great candidates out there - and right now, you can have an opportunity for them to join your team.
