Attend this session to hear recent research on candidate and client perceptions of the staffing industry. We will reveal new findings on the industry from Opportunities in Staffing, a comprehensive study released by the Inavero Institute for Service Research and CareerBuilder.com. The report outlines clear opportunities for you to increase your brand awareness and gain market share.
