The labor market used to be a pendulum &ndash\; \;finding high caliber \;employees was difficult but not impossible during good economic times\, \;and when \;hard times hit\, finding quality employees was easy. Demographics tells us that we have entered a new era and &ldquo\;the easy find"\; for high quality employees is now permanently a thing of the past. Competing \;for talent now requires businesses to operate at a different level-- \;re-thinking how you run your business\, how you show up in the talent marketplace\, and how you engage your people. \;
