Shifting Hiring Trends for COVID-19: Emerging Concepts
1. Short Term Remote Deployment
Over 50% of Fortune 500 have announced
extended time frames for remote work or formalized
return to work plans:
• "Staff can plan to work from home until xxx date"
• "Staff should return to offices PT or FT based on
these schedules and safety protocols…"
3. Mental Health Days
In addition to offering Mental Health
days to staff for their personal use,
many companies have also created
company wide Mental Health Days
across the business on designated days
5. Internal Sourcing
As employers resume operations and increase
hiring needs, they are increasingly 'looking
within' to recently furloughed or previously
employed resources before going to market
2. Long Term Remote Planning
CFO Survey conducted by Gartner reports
that 75% of CFO's intend to increase remote
workforce deployment in future:
• 27% report 5% remote
• 25% report 10% remote
• 17% report 20% remote
• 4% report 50% remote
4. Part-Time/Flex-Shift Strategies
Globally, employers have adapted to candidate drivers related to part-time
job opportunities that allow workers to collect unemployment, remain on
government funded furloughs, or support family-based scheduling needs
as a result of the pandemic
