Kwantek Blog How the Cleaning Industry Can Achieve Hiring Velocity During COVID-19

As the spread of coronavirus increased in March, the cleaning industry saw an incredible spike in job openings across the board. ZipRecruiter says help-wanted ads for cleaning services specifically spiked 75% in March compared to demand from March 2019. Additionally, unemployment in this sector was at a record low of 2% in March 2020, resulting in a smaller available hiring pool for these essential services during this crisis. It’s unclear whether this spike will sustain throughout the pandemic, but companies working in the cleaning sector should be prepared with the best possible solutions to hire quickly, effectively and compliantly all while maintaining an excellent candidate experience.
