Hiring Insights from Local HR Leaders

As a job seeker, how would you like to see inside the hiring process from the other side? Join us Monday, February 17, 2025, at this Hudson Job Search meeting to gain insights from top human resources and executive search professionals. We’ll ask the panel several questions to help you understand the current hiring landscape across various industries.

  • How much of the application process is automated, and how can your resume, cover letter, and online application stand out to be considered for an interview?
  • When you get an interview, what can you do to make an impactful first impression?
  • How much are these HR leaders using social media to vet candidates?
  • When is it appropriate to bring up salary expectations, and how do HR leaders view the salary negotiation process?
  • Is it appropriate to ask for a detailed offer in writing before making a decision?

Our panelists will not only answer your questions but share insight into their company’s hiring culture, talent acquisition strategies, and the roles HR, recruiters, and hiring managers play in finding the right candidates.
