workforce. In the past, employees worked for the same organization for their entire careers and retired with a company-provided
pension when they reached 65. This type of career no longer exists, as individuals not only change jobs often but may also change
careers several times in their working lives. With many employees continuing to work after reaching the age of retirement and
thousands of new workers entering the workforce every year, it can seem a daunting task to find the perfect person for a particular
opening. It is only through training in recruiting and retention strategies that an organizations human resources department
