Webinar
 

Overview

Who Should Join

Heads of Recruiting, Selection & Distribution Management and Heads of Human Resources who are responsible for recruiting and selecting the next generation of field sales talent.  

Highlights

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the widespread economic fallout produced in its wake, brought a number of unwelcome challenges and consequences. One area where drastic changes were witnessed is the labor market — specifically in the context of employment.

Notably, sky-high unemployment rates seen in 2020, coupled with many workers facing reduced hours and/or income, and small business closures created a larger population of people seeking new job opportunities.

This presents a bigger pool of applicants and candidates for many industries, including financial services.  Great news, right?  Well, not necessarily. 

In order to successfully navigate the current reality, we need a strong selection philosophy, now more than ever.

LL Global introduces an assessment system that allows you to create a tailored candidate journey that best fits your sales culture and hiring objectives. We understand the hiring and onboarding challenges unique to our industry and have created a solution that will inform and delight each one of your users – from your candidates to your recruiters.
