Solution Series: Recruitment Workshop

The MI recently convened a group of manufacturers to discuss recruitment challenges and identify ways to address them. After hearing from experts on topics ranging from the current labor market, second chance hiring, the gig economy and the importance of speed in recruitment, participants broke out into small groups to discuss the top challenges they were facing and brainstorm solutions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:  

• Determine who owns what part of the recruitment process as well as how team members will be held accountable.
• Advertise the position effectively, streamline the application process and screen as many people in as possible.
• Invest time and resources into sourcing talent.
