The work world looks vastly different from what it did just a few years ago—with the pandemic forcing many employees and employers to adapt to remote work or else shut their doors potentially for good. And while some companies have made attempts to return their work environments back to a pre-pandemic office structure, many employees have come to appreciate the benefits of a remote-work lifestyle and have shifted their expectations around what they will and will not accept in the workplace. This evolving attitude, as well as a number of other factors, has made it difficult for some companies to find the talent they need to continue prospering in the market. Here, eight members of Young Entrepreneur Council elaborate on these factors and discuss what employers can do to not only make finding talent easier but also retain that talent once they’ve been brought on board.

In their search for the best talent, many companies revolve their recruiting and hiring process around their ideal hire, often creating job descriptions with strict qualification requirements or interviews that change from candidate to candidate. While often done with the best of intentions, companies may unintentionally be biasing themselves against candidates who may not thrive in this kind of hiring process but who are otherwise well-suited to the role. To prevent this kind of unconscious bias, leaders can take certain steps that will help make the hiring process more equitable. To help, nine members of Young Entrepreneur Council sound off on the best practices for ensuring an equitable recruiting and hiring process for all and why it is so important to create.
