In today's episode of The RecruitingDaily Podcast, we welcome Monica Plaza to talk about her perspective on what the labor shortage is teaching us.

Monica serves as vice president of strategy at Wonolo. There she helps the organization with "big picture" thinking in terms of operations, operational rhythm and future areas of opportunity and investments. Prior to Wonolo, she was at Google for over a decade.

Wonolo (Work Now Locally) is a mobile app that connects contingent workers with frontline, hourly job opportunities. The company was founded in 2014, citing itself as the leading technology platform currently disrupting temporary staffing. Wonolo serves customers in different job categories, such as Uniqlo, Aramark and Coca-Cola.

A few things we talk about today: Why are we seeing a rise in contingent candidates during the labor shortage? How have we arrived at The Great Recession? Are candidates swapping a change of scenery for pay?
