Recent reports mentioned in an HRExecutive article show a huge – 5,000% since January! – increase in the number of high-level job postings requiring candidates to be vaccinated against COVID-19. It’s also interesting to note that this requirement is not only evident for healthcare jobs, but is seen in a variety of industries, from small to large businesses. In addition, a survey from Indeed found a 34% increase since last month alone in the job posts requiring vaccination.
Job postings historically have been limited to experience and education prerequisites, main job functions, salary range, etc. with employment issues relegated to the employee handbook. Seeing this requirement to such a large degree in job postings is a “massive” trend that experts predict will continue through the fall and winter.
We’d love to know your thoughts. Please leave a comment below.
