Listen to what recruiters are saying about whats happening with the hiring market in the Coronavirus crisis.   @StacyZapar....Recruiters, how has your job changed in the last week (since the quarantine)? Still sourcing or holding off for now? What will the hiring market look like in upcoming months? Will people even be open to changing jobs or likely hunker down till the storm has passed? 

Remote work is having its day in the sun due to the coronavirus outbreak...seminal moment... and my guest today just wrote an article on his new remote experience managing a team of people remotely.  We ‘ll talk with him in a minute but i posed this question on my facebook group, RecTechies and wanted to read you some of the replies. Working remotely is more popular than ever before. One Gallup survey found that 43% of Americans work from home occasionally. That's up from 39% of those who did in 2012. And according to Quartz, U.S. Census data indicates that 5.2% of U.S. workers completely worked at home in 2017 — that's about 8 million people. Joining me now is Chad Fife is the VP of marketing at AI recruitment startup Talview. Here's the link to his article on LinkedIN.
