Examining Employer and Job Seeker Realities in the Current Job Market: How Employers Can Respond to Candidate Preferences, Perceptions, and Personas

In the current labor market, employers are facing unfamiliar territory. The job market remains strong, but based on Employ data,  there is a deceleration in the market as evidenced by a pullback in the number of new job postings.
