David Alemian entertained everyone with a very high-powered and energetic talk about talent recruitment. He is a dynamic corporate speaker and one of the country’s top experts on “Talent Recruitment and Retention.”  Alemian teaches employers how to attract and retain the top talent they need in a highly competitive marketplace. Nationwide, all employers agree that there is a huge talent shortage, and competition for the best talent is tough.  A prolific writer and video producer, he has published over 200 written articles and is featured in over 300 educational videos. He lives in Oceanside with his wife Hillary and their two pugs Zac and Charlie.
 
 
He mentioned that 1/6th of the economy is in healthcare and they need more talents everyday. By 2025 he says that there will be a shortage of 500,000 nurses. This shortage is directly tied to the retiring baby boomers. It seems they are retiring at the rate of 10,000 per day! Another alarming statistics he pointed out was that 50% of U.S. physicians are behind in savings and they are not financially prepared for retirement. The employee pool has to constantly be training on new trades since very soon places, such as, McDonald's will have kiosks for ordering food instead of of people taking orders.
