Hello fellow employers and employees!

Wow..is it a challenge — recruiting in our resort environments. We recently conducted a Recruiting 101 workshop here in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and the challenges of sourcing, screening, hiring, retaining, and housing our new workforce was a conversation that went on for hours. Check out some of the tidbits about what our talent pool is going to look like in the next 5-10 years.

1. Over the next 20 years, one person will retire every minute.
2. Generation X is roughly ½ the size of the retiring Baby Boomers. (this little fact will produce a bit of a talent gap)
3. One million bank teller positions to fill by 2014

4. Currently we have about 4 Million Real Estate Agents….58% or 2.3 million will retire starting in 2010

If you are not talking about your recruiting strategies daily with your management staff….or creating new creative recruiting methods then you are behind your competition.
