Hi Community! The good news, wages continue to climb according to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics. The bad news, we continue to see layoffs dominating headlines. If you are in recruiting and have been impacted we are thinking of you and here to support.
As always, we promise to keep it brief and interesting!
Recruiting
Labor Report
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics measures labor market activity, working conditions, price changes, and productivity in the U.S. economy to support public and private decision making. On the first Friday of every month the Bureau publishes a report on jobs.
- The U.S. added 263,000 jobs in September
- Employment grew across the economy, but is leveling off in several sectors
- Payrolls have increased by an average of 378,000 jobs a month. That’s more than double the monthly average in 2019 when the unemployment rate was roughly the level it is now

Designing an Effective Keep-Warm Strategy
October 27 at 10am PT, 12pm CT
Talent Acquisition experts have long known the value of developing relationships with candidates. As full-time offers trickle out, these relationships are put to the test – with months between offer and start date, ensuring a candidate continues to have a great experience means they will be less likely to renege. The challenge has always been figuring out how to enhance this experience, given time and resource constraints.
Join our discussion with three emerging talent recruiting leaders from Eaton, SAS, and MongoDB who will share best practices, learnings, and feedback around post-offer keep-warm strategies.

What We’re Reading
- Prelude, an interview scheduling company, has been acquired by Calendly.
- TopFunnel has rebranded as Teamable which they acquired earlier this year.
- Workers are still quitting their jobs at rates above those seen before the pandemic, but layoffs remain near two-decade lows according to Indeed Hiring Lab’s US Labor Market Report.
- Organizations are reexamining how they recruit, develop, and retain talent. In this new market, companies need to make six changes to succeed if they want to attract and retain talent. This article from Harvard Business Review describes what those changes are and suggests how best to make them.
- Layoffs suck and we hate when any recruiting team has to go through it. The folks at Growth By Design Talent published a great read on how to support your recruiting teams through it.
