Joining in to address surges in hiring in certain retail sectors, and layoffs in many others, the American Staffing Association (ASA) & the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) have rolled out a tool to connect those still hiring with available talent.

“The U.S. staffing and recruiting industry is ready to source and deploy talent wherever and whenever it is needed most during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Richard Wahlquist, ASA president and chief executive officer. “ASA is proud to work together with RILA as part of the staffing industry’s commitment to ensuring that America has access to a skilled flexible workforce to support the uninterrupted flow of essential goods and services during this unprecedented time of challenge to our nation and our world.”

Partnerships like this are interesting results of our current situation - and we may well see them evolve beyond the current circumstances.
