The L&D Talent Challenge: Why Traditional Hiring is Broken
Learning and Development is critical to business survival. With 94% of employees stating they would stay longer at companies that invest in their career (LinkedIn Learning), the stakes are high. Yet, finding the right talent is harder than ever.
The Pain Points Keeping Leaders Awake at Night
- The Skills Gap Crisis: Modern L&D requires niche skills—from AI-powered personalization to mobile-first microlearning. Generalist recruiters often struggle to vet these technical competencies.
- Time-to-Hire Delays: The average time to fill a specialized L&D role can stretch over 60+ days. Meanwhile, critical training initiatives stall, and competitive advantage erodes.
- Budget vs. Quality: You need senior-level strategy but may only have the budget for a mid-level hire. Or, you need a specialist for a 3-month project, not a permanent headcount.
