Jennifer Henderson, Henderson Search and Consulting (Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Radio, Episode 25)
As a recruiter with a focus on the professional services sector, Jennifer Henderson, President of Henderson Search and Consulting, has a front row seat to changes in the labor market. She refers to what she’s seeing as more of a “Great Reshuffling” than a “Great Resignation,” as individuals are redefining how they want to work and be treated. Jennifer reflects on the impact on employers, how they must adapt to retain talent, the role of a recruiter in the process, and much more. Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Radio is produced virtually by the Minneapolis St. Paul studio of Business RadioX®.
