Although nobody can predict when Covid-19 will end or what 2021 will bring, the latest industry data indicate that staffing firms have reasons to be optimistic. Eric Gregg of ClearlyRated, the association’s satisfaction survey partner, and Steven Cerny of CareerBuilder, an ASA corporate partner, will share insights from hiring managers and internal staff during a free webinar tomorrow.

During the webinar “What’s Next for the Staffing Industry?,” hear about the effects of Covid-19, economic upheaval, and nationwide calls for social reform on the industry—and what lasting change might continue in the future. It takes place Wednesday, Sept. 30, 1–2 p.m. Eastern time.

This webinar is free for ASA members. To learn more and to register, visit clearlyrated.com.
