The company’s data shows that employers are touting remote-work policies as a way to attract more candidates. Gutz’s stats show that among job seekers, “remote” remains in the top 10 keywords searched on Monster. Recruiting for people who will work remotely widens the talent pool and improves diversity. Searching for candidates nationwide is another way forward-thinking managers are finding top talent in a tight job market. To help win the war for talent, businesses are offering on-the-job training and eliminating the requirement of a four-year college degree. Candidates will constantly adapt their skill sets to grow or even change their careers.Ĭompanies are offering applicants the ability to work from home or anywhere they’d like. Gutz sees the future of a fluid and flexible workforce. The circumstances of this past year gave recruiters a unique opportunity to seek out candidates from struggling industries who have key transferable skills. The May jobs report also showed that a healthy dose of jobs-46,000, to be exact-were injected into the economy last month. Within the healthcare sector, some of the top jobs being searched by candidates on Monster include registered nurse, medical assistant, nurse practitioner, and pharmacy technician. The number of new jobs posted increased by 33% last month, with the bulk of openings for registered nurses, nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses and critical-care nurses. Monster’s data shows that hospitals and doctors’ offices are woefully understaffed. While staffing has always been a bit of an issue within healthcare, Covid-19 burnout has made it even harder to find nurses at any skill level. Some switched careers or retired early because the pandemic was just too much to bear. He tells me that over the last year and change, after bravely battling the virus, healthcare workers, particularly nurses, are beat. There’s another fast-growing area that Gutz wants to capitalize on-nursing and healthcare. He also says that he’s noticed companies starting to increase wages, offer bonuses, remote-work options and other incentives to entice people to apply for jobs. Once the enhanced unemployment benefits end, public schools reopen and more Americans get their vaccination shots, he contends that people will get off the sidelines and start interviewing for jobs.

Similar to other CEOs, Gutz points to a labor shortage. However, it's hard for companies to find candidates, he admits. On the job platform, Gutz has seen a steady influx of new jobs. Department of Labor employment data, said, “The latest jobs report shows a turnaround, which is an indication of a growing jobs market overall.” The Monster CEO pointed out, “Continued hiring in leisure and hospitality and healthcare, coupled with upticks in manufacturing, transportation and warehousing, are good indicators that the anticipated return to work may be underway.” When speaking of the current job market, Gutz, alluding to the recent U.S. This pivot could add a little zest and excitement to the brand, while also building up a new customer base for the future. The last time I used the site, several years ago, the average tenure at a company for candidates we searched for was around 20 to 35 years. With this in mind, one of Gutz’s growth models is to focus on Gen-Z and make them feel at home on the site.
