RoundUP #12
In this latest edition of Roundup, our first in a while, we’re curating articles on our radar with a few key takeaways.

1. The LinkedIn Future of Recruiting Report 2023
53% of in-house recruiting pros predict their recruiting budget will decrease of stay flat this year, and 60% say their employer branding investments will increase.

There many pieces that come together to form a whole, and it takes some experimentation to see what fits.
Don’t panic if a clear vision doesn’t immediately present itself. Purpose is ongoing and iterative — it’s a process of seeing what works, and what doesn’t, for you and your life. – Leah Weiss.
Until next time…
