What can we do about light industrial talent scarcity and how can we attract candidates quickly? Industry experts share their insights and recommendations in this webinar.

What is an essential worker? We certainly found out last year. Beyond the obvious – the healthcare workers, the first responders – there was a sudden realization that manufacturing, production, supply chains, and logistics, are essential to keeping the world up and running.

Of course, anyone employed in these industries – or helping to find workers in these sectors – has known this for decades. It took a pandemic for the rest of the world to become aware, and for light industrial occupations to have their “moment”.

Yet despite being the unsung heroes of the pandemic, candidates are hardly rushing to take jobs in these essential industries. So what can we do about talent scarcity and how can we attract candidates quickly? Industry experts share their insights and recommendations in this webinar. Here are just some of the topics covered:

  • Pay trends, benefits, and creating career paths
  • Latest safety concerns for candidates
  • Closing the skills gap through upskilling
  • Ever-changing tech and automation
