Employer Considerations in a Hot Talent Market: Don’t Get Burned

In a coauthored article for Thomson Reuters, labor and employment partner Greg Abrams, counsel Kelly Petrocelli and associate Caroline Guensberg outline issues practitioners should consider as they advise employers seeking and onboarding new talent.

The authors address the multiple stages of the employment relationship and cover the initial process of recruiting and hiring. With a tight labor market, they say that employers should be proactive in competing for premium talent.

Further, the authors discuss laws and potential problems employers need to be aware of and avoid regarding hiring remote workers, salary history and ranges, signing and referral bonuses, COVID-19 vaccination status and social media checks.
