The gap between what employers want and what talent will accept keeps widening. How can you continue to make valuable placements?

On Jun 18, at 1PM ET, the ASA Professional-Managerial section will host an exclusive networking call, facilitated by Crystal Blackwell, CSP, Staffing One, Inc. and Matthew Rosenblatt, Anchin. Companies in the professional-managerial sector face a persistent challenge in a shrinking candidate pool that is increasingly selective and less willing to work with clients' terms. In this candid discussion, you will discuss what companies are doing to find qualified candidates, bridge the expectations gap, and keep placements moving. You will explore
🔹 What firms are seeing on the ground across key professional–managerial verticals including legal, accounting, finance, and marketing—and how candidate availability and expectations are shifting
🔹 How the hybrid and remote work divide is impacting the ability to make placements and how firms are navigating client pushback and candidate demands simultaneously
🔹 What creative approaches, expanded sourcing strategies, and candidate engagement tactics are helping firms keep pipelines moving despite a tightening talent supply

After a series of poor job reports, the last three months have shown surprising job growth, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition to this increase, lower immigration and continuing retirements have resulted in the total level of job creation needed to maintain the current unemployment rate decreasing significantly.

Health care staffing continues to change, and it is not enough to just react. In order to thrive this coming year, companies need to respond with strategy and intention.

On Jun 17, at 1PM ET, the ASA health care section will host an interactive networking call for ASA members. Join Tameka McCullough, HealthTech Associates, and Stephanie Burton, CSP, Select Savvy, in defining the practical realities facing health care staffing leaders today. As health care staffing strategies continue to change quickly, you will learn to leverage technology without losing the human element. Topics will include:
⚕️ From Transactional to Consultative: How health care staffing firms are shifting from order-taking to true advisory partnerships and what training programs are making that transition stick.
⚕️ Contracts, Compliance, and Alignment: Navigating contracting challenges, timing expectations, and how to connect compliance conversations to your broader sales strategy.
⚕️ Candidate Loyalty and Retention: What is motivating candidates to stay, why ghosting is increasing, and what firms are doing differently to build lasting loyalty.
⚕️ AI and Technology in Practice: Where AI is fitting into recruiting and operational workflows and how firms are using it strategically without losing what makes them distinctive.
