In 2023, interviewing candidates have lost their leverage.

The pandemic temporarily shifted the power dynamics between employees and employers.


In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, employees had all the leverage when it came to demanding higher pay, working remotely, and general work flexibility.

Fast forward to 2023 and most ortho companies are practicing financial austerity while they grow the business.
