RL People

Today's the day 🇬🇧 ✈️ 🇺🇸 About to board a one-way flight and kick off the next chapter for RL People USA. Not only will this move allow me to be closer to our fantastic clients & candidates, provide even better service & support, and break new ground in the reverse logistics recruitment industry... It also sets the stage for even more exciting developments over the next 12 months (stay tuned for more 👀). While I will, of course, miss my family & friends in the UK, I can't wait to officially start my journey in Austin, Texas and take things to the next level. For all of my US friends, if you have any advice for a Brit looking to settle down in the USA, I'd love to hear from you! #NewBeginnings #NextChapter #Recruitment #ReverseLogistics #Relocation

The talent shortage continues to beleaguer service leaders. According to the 2024 Service Leader’s Agenda survey, 64% say this is having the biggest impact on their business. Organizations are being forced to think outside the box when it comes to recruitment and retention strategies, while qualified workers are fielding multiple job offers. How do service leaders set themselves apart from competitors and build a talent strategy that will withstand the ever-widening talent gap? Join the inService™ Podcast Live on Thursday, April 18 at 12PM ET as host John Carroll welcomes guest Tom Parker, CEO of RL People.

He’ll also talk about the strategies he recommends for future-proofing your talent strategy and building up the team of tomorrow.
