In a recent quick poll of recruiting staff, we found that more than half of recruiting organizations respond effectively to changes in business conditions.

Less than one-third of recruiters think that recruiting plays an influential role in setting corporate strategy, influences decisions made by business leaders, or influences hiring managers’ talent decisions. Proactively shaping – and not just reacting to changes in – talent and business strategy is where most organizations have the most room for improvement and where we see the best ones headed.
