PROFESSOR’S GUIDANCE FOR THIS WEEK’S LE:
Stress Is Up
The resulting data revealed that since the onset of the pandemic, stress levels at work have increased for 61 percent of recruiters, with 19 percent reporting a drastic increase in stress.
Not surprisingly, some respondents cited elevated stress from working with reduced resources and dealing with job insecurity while others have had to adjust to rapidly staffing up to fill urgently needed positions—all while living with the public health crisis themselves.
“Every recruiter has been personally impacted by the pandemic and the economy,” said Kerry Gilliam, vice president of marketing at Jobvite. “The job has changed so much this year, specifically the switch to recruiting and hiring virtually. Maybe you weren’t used to using video interviews and had to get used to it quick. Not only recruiting and interviewing but also onboarding had to be done virtually. That kind of change will cause stress.”
Because of cloud technology, a recruiter can successfully work remotely, but during the pandemic they also had to be parents, teachers and caretakers while working from home, said Tim Sackett, SHRM-SCP, president of HRU Technical Resources, an engineering and design staffing firm based in Lansing, Mich.
