| Employer 16 | No. |
| Employer 17 | Due to reduced orders and customer cancellations, it became a balancing act of staying profitable and managing talent. Hiring became much more stringent. |
| Employer 18 | No. |
| Employer 19 | Yes, due to Covid-19 companies are conserving cash to prep for the uncertainty this global virus has caused. |
| Employer 20 | It would not differ. |
| Employer 21 | No. |
| Employer 22 | No. |
| Employer 23 | Yes, mostly due to the rate at which the economy was growing pre-Covid. Post-Covid still has way too much uncertainty, leading to a slower hiring rate. |
| Employer 24 | No. our team has several recent graduates. We believe that you need experienced team members to mentor new colleagues therefore we value all stages of the career path. |
| Employer 25 | We are making sure we are only hiring people with experience, probably to ensure they won’t be laid off. We can’t afford to invest in new talent. |
| Employer 26 | With more pressure to succeed NOW and navigate through the additional constraints COVID has brought, there is more of a push now to hire individuals that already have real world experience. |
| Employer 27 | N/A. But we are on hiring freeze at this time. |
| Employer 28 | I, personally, am not hiring, but hunting for jobs. |
| Employer 29 | No. |
| Employer 30 | No. |
| Employer 31 | No. |

| Employer 37 | Yes, I believe if it were not for Covid we would be more heavily looking for talent to add especially around the holiday season which obviously spikes Logistics around the world. With that being said we are looking to add around 15,000 workers to help handle the holiday demand strike. |
| Employer 38 | Yes, the business is looking for talent that can adapt fast especially now. |
| Employer 39 | No, I feel it depends on the company. My company in particular is more focused on new talent, talent that can bring a fresh perspective to an uncertain future in the supply chain. However, experience is an added bonus. |
| Employer 40 | No. |
| Employer 41 | No, New talent is great because there are no conceived ideas on how things should be. I would rather have someone who is smart, resourceful, and willing to do anything we throw at them. It’s a fresh set of eyes and someone we can mentor and help grow. |
| Employer 42 | Not really, we are always open minded and like new people. |
| Employer 43 | No. |
| Employer 44 | No depending on the candidate experience is preferred but character and personality can bypass. |
| Employer 45 | Likely no (mostly due to the culture of the organization I work for). |
