ìWeíll continue to report our findings, which we view as the silver lining during bad times,î says Phillip Roark, Insala President and CEO. ìMany organizations that care about their exiting employees are turning to outplacement firms to assist in their job search. Those firms are using EmploymentTalk to efficiently and cost effectively facilitate that process; in turn, they realize a greater gain in enhanced corporate reputation and rehires during recruitment efforts.î
