Talent shortage hiring - business hiring mistakes affecting professional business image

How to Solve Critical Talent Shortage Hiring Issues

Olivia BennettFebruary 10, 2026

The talent shortage hiring isn’t about running out of people-it’s about running *into* the wrong ones. I once worked with a mid-sized cybersecurity firm that filled three critical roles in six months, only to watch two candidates quit within weeks. Not because they couldn’t do the job, but because the hiring process treated them like […]

Fixing Poor Hiring Practices to Combat Talent Shortages

Olivia BennettFebruary 10, 2026

The phrase “poor hiring talent shortages” isn’t just a buzzword-it’s a self-inflicted wound plaguing industries from tech startups to corporate law firms. I’ve watched companies spend tens of thousands on recruitment only to see their “top picks” ghost them after the first week. Or worse, hire candidates who show up, go through motions, and then […]

Optimizing Boise Cascade Leadership for 2026 Success

Olivia BennettFebruary 10, 2026

Boise Cascade leadership is transforming the industry. When I first heard about Boise Cascade’s latest leadership shakeup, I found myself at my favorite downtown café-not staring at a screen, but watching a timber truck roll past, its load of Douglas fir destined for a home somewhere between here and Portland. That’s when it hit me: […]

Boise Cascade Leadership: Top Executives & Strategies 2026

Olivia BennettFebruary 9, 2026

When most forestry giants make leadership moves, it’s just another corporate shuffle-until you realize Boise Cascade’s recent promotions aren’t about titles. They’re about survival in an industry where profit margins erode faster than old-growth forests. I’ve watched this company’s leadership dance before, but these shifts feel different. Not just because Greg Tracz is doubling down […]

Top 2026 Marketing Resources: Essential Tools & Strategies

Olivia BennettFebruary 9, 2026

Marketing in 2026 feels less like assembling a Swiss Army knife and more like packing a tactical survival kit. The tools we relied on in 2023-clunky AI experiments and manual spreadsheets-have been replaced by platforms that learn your audience’s behavior before you even ask. I’ve tested over 50 solutions this year, and while many deliver […]

Boise Cascade Leadership: 2026 Key Executive Changes & Insights

Olivia BennettFebruary 9, 2026

Last month, I stood outside Boise Cascade’s Seattle waterfront HQ-where the Puget Sound’s mist clung to the glass-just as they announced their leadership reshuffle. No press release fanfare, just a quiet internal shift that turned out to be anything but. Boise Cascade leadership didn’t just tweak roles; they overhauled the engine while the truck was […]

Effective Ways to Stop Employee Poaching & Protect Your Talent

Olivia BennettFebruary 9, 2026

Let me tell you about the night a client’s husband stormed into my office, phone still clutched in his hand, voice trembling. He’d just watched eight of his wife’s pest control technicians-the ones who knew every client’s basement like the back of their hand, the ones who’d built relationships spanning a decade-accept counteroffers from Rentokil. […]

Anthropic’s SaaS Decline: AI Risks Affecting Enterprise Cloud Sof

Olivia BennettFebruary 9, 2026

Anthropic SaaS decline is transforming the industry. The SaaS collapse isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s happening in real time, and Anthropic’s latest model is the latest earthquake on the industry’s fault line. I’ve seen this play out before-remember when Stripe rolled out embedded finance features, forcing fintech startups to either pivot or pivot again? The same […]

Terri Lewis as Landstar’s CHRO: HR Leadership Vision

Olivia BennettFebruary 9, 2026

Terri Lewis’ appointment as Landstar’s chief human resources officer isn’t just another corporate shuffle-it’s a high-stakes gamble. In an industry where driver retention sits at a brutal 15% annually, the right HR leader could either patch the leaks or completely reframe how Landstar treats its most valuable asset: people. I’ve sat in on too many […]

O’Connor 57th Street: Premier Investment Hub for Private Equity G

Olivia BennettFebruary 9, 2026

O’Connor 57th Street is transforming the industry. When O’Connor 57th Street Partners first landed in my inbox, I didn’t just see another fund announcement-I saw a masterclass in repositioning. It was 2023, and I’d just closed a deal for a client in Midtown Manhattan when my assistant forwarded me a memo from a Dallas-based broker: […]
