Middle-market organizations report strong year-on-year revenue growth. SMEs expect their businesses to continue to grow, despite the challenges they face: economic instability, snarled supply chains, shortage of workforce, and talent management challenges.

For nearly half (48%) of middle-market businesses, finding and hiring employees with the right skill sets remains a significant challenge.

Bringing HR into Focus

HR initiatives and processes tend to be less of a focus within SMEs. In most cases:

HR departments lack resources or experience for talent initiatives
HR departments are not always familiar with the latest trends or HR best practices

Hiring managers make decisions on gut feel rather than data and talent insight
