Over the past 12 months, employers have been forced to navigate an unrelenting storm of hiring issues. From attracting and hiring quality employees during a paradoxical worker shortage (thank you, “great resignation”) to offering new workplace options like part-time or permanent telecommuting and much more.

Ultimately, today’s evolved workplace can be summarized by one big mind shift: applicants and employees are now in charge—not employers. The sooner employers acknowledge this transition of power and adapt their hiring and background check processes to reflect an applicant-first approach, the better they can compete for and hire the top talent to help grow their businesses during this unique time.

Knowing this, we compiled a list of the top five blog articles from 2021 that cover some of the most pressing or, in some cases, most practical applicant issues facing employers in the year ahead.

The Great Resignation is impacting employers everywhere. Call it “historic churn” or a “record-breaking quitting streak,” but workers across all industries throughout the country have been quitting their jobs in record numbers in what has become known as the “great resignation.” Though the latest numbers for October 2021 are down slightly to 4.2 million “quits” from a high of 4.4 million in September, employers today are grappling with how to attract and retain top talent amid the current “quit-happy” environment.
