If you decide to mandate vaccines for staff in order to comply with the re-opening rules, are you going to be hit with a claim after December 1st? Data gathered from employees suggests you can approach your vaccine policy with confidence.
Last week we had our first candidate instruct us not to represent her to any firms who intend to mandate COVID vaccines. Welcome to the new world! But employers must tread carefully on this subject of mandating vaccines.
Too often, employers get irritated and feel exploited when candidates negotiate their worth in the candidate money wars. But it harks back to a Master-Servant sociocultural model that lost its credibility a hundred years ago.

Not so! This week’s blog explores why candidate sourcing is actually more difficult in an economic crisis like this one.
