  • What's changed as a result of the pandemic in terms of expectations of an employer and its culture?

  • What about those hosting the interview? What do they need to ask?
  • How can hiring managers convey their company's culture?
  • In another recent post on LinkedIn, you say "The result of higher wages happening so quickly, with an increase of money in the system, is inflation. Thus, people aren’t seeing more money, even if they are paid more." Feel free to mention the net effect on the economy but, specifically can you explain if this current bubble of high wages to capture top talent will burst anytime soon?
  • How can we learn more?
