Over the past few years, many businesses have experienced the shortage of qualified candidates on the job market. More so, hiring managers may not have the time or resources to find the best fit for the role, which can have a devastating impact on their bottom line.  

The talent acquisition team at Legacy Bowes can help take the guesswork out of hiring. Read on to discover why companies trust Legacy Bowes when it comes to sourcing and identifying top talent, and why you should consider using a recruitment firm when hiring.

There is no doubt – candidates are in the driver’s seat, so what can you do to get in the shotgun seat?
