Jobvite ’s annual Recruiter Nation Survey is out today. In its eighth year, the survey was conducted in July 2015 and completed by 1,404 recruiting and human resources professionals in a wide range of industries. Much of the survey data is not surprising: use of social media tools by recruiters is strong and growing; referrals are still the most effective source of quality hires; hiring activity is up; the hunt for talent will remain or get more competitive in the next 12 months.

I received this note after my webinar last week with HireRight on engaging and retaining talent. It’s such a good question I wanted to share it with you. Hello Sharlyn. We’ve done employee surveys in past and plan to do one again soon.

Speaking of autonomy, years ago, I heard Dan Pink talk about his book “Drive” , which focuses on the three elements of motivation: autonomy, mastery and purpose.
