Hiring in 2026: What’s Changed, What Hasn’t, and What Matters Most
March 19 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
What has changed is the environment surrounding hiring, and misalignment between candidates and companies.
Join Carrie Schochet, Founder of Purple Squirrel Advisors, for a practical and experience-driven discussion on how to navigate today’s hiring environment with greater clarity and intention.
Drawing from real-world search experience across private equity, founder-led, and growth-stage companies, Carrie will share what she is seeing in the market today, where hiring processes tend to break down, and how leaders can adapt.
In this session, we will explore:
What a strong hiring process looks like today and how it should be tailored to the role and stage of the business
The external factors influencing hiring today, including economic uncertainty, risk aversion, and “job hugging”
How candidate expectations around compensation and flexibility are evolving and where misalignment occurs
The impact of AI on both candidates and employers, including new risks in evaluating talent
Why alignment early in the process is more important than ever
