Talent Acquisition During a Recession and Pandemic | February 2021 #HRforAll Future of Work Twitter chat

Over the last year, we’ve been struck by a constant state of crisis. One of which was a pandemic-driven recession. While it’s been quite a few years since the last recession, many workers (including myself!) are experiencing our first pandemic as part of the workforce. To help guide both HR / Talent professionals as well as job seekers through the talent acquisition during a recession, we’re jumping on #HRforAll on 2/9/21 at 1pm EST to share tips, tricks, and best practices for getting everyone back to work. 

Please join us 2/9/2021 at 1pm EST to discuss Talent Acquisition During a Recession.

The Rules of a Twitter Chat

A Twitter chat is a LIVE chat that takes place on Twitter. People “gather” at a certain day and time to talk about a certain topic. There is usually one or two people who moderate or host the chat, who post questions to guide the conversation.

Questions are all marked with a Q and labeled with numbers to help everyone keep track of the flow of the conversation. People responding to questions should mark their answers with an A and the corresponding number. 

For example, the moderators/ hosts will post “Q1” and everyone will answer with tweets marked “A1.”Additionally, all Tweets – both questions and answers – will use the hashtag #HRforAll. That’s how we’ll all stay connected on Twitter during the chat.
