A national staffing firm based in Fresno is hosting a virtual roundtable discussion next week tailored for California employers.

PrideStaff will be hosting the first in a series of California-specific webinars on Wednesday, Dec. 11 from 10-11 a.m.

The virtual event, “California Hiring 2025: A Roundtable Discussion,” will revolve on critical workforce challenges facing employers.

Experts will delve into strategies for overcoming skills gaps, managing inflation, retaining top talent and integrating artificial intelligence into recruitment to “future-proof” hiring practices.

The goal is for attendees to take away actionable insights on the employment and management issues most important to California employers.

The panel will consist of Trillium Flow Technologies Plant Manager Stephen Avila in Fresno; Eric Gregg, founder of customer data and feedback software company ClearlyRated based in Portland, Oregon; and Pankaj Jindal, co-founder of Sense, an AI-powered talent engagement and communication platform based in San Francisco.

The session will be moderated by Leslie Vickery, CEO and founder of ClearEdge, a software engineering, big data, cloud, data analytics and data science solutions and services provider based in Maryland.

“California has so much to offer businesses, but it also has some challenges including rising operational costs and growing skills gaps. At PrideStaff, we’re committed to providing business leaders with the expertise and tools needed to address these and other pressing issues,” said Sean Akin, vice president of PrideStaff Branch Operations/Fresno and Tri-Valley. “This webinar and our impressive panelists make up the first in a series of 2025-focused events we’ll host to help leaders build thriving companies that support the California economy and its communities.
