If you’re a recruiter for a small to mid-sized business, this represents a major opportunity for you. However, a recent survey focused on HR departments at companies of 500 employees or fewer in the retail, hospitality and healthcare industries finds that 97 percent of them say identifying qualified candidates is their greatest challenge in the recruitment process.
