We are all witnessing the toughest recruitment climate that has ever been experienced, triggered by the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s the perfect cyclical storm – too many vacancies and not enough talent. Employees are being tempted away by higher salaries, hybrid working, and the promise of a fresh start and improved wellbeing.
Highly publicised waves of redundancies took place during the first lockdown, as businesses bunkered down and tried to survive. This was swiftly followed by what’s been dubbed ‘The Great Resignation’ – Microsoft’s infamous 2021 Work Trend Index reported 41% of workers considering leaving their current employer within the next year and 46% ‘planning to make a major pivot or career transition’.
As a result, the ‘war for talent’ is rife. Drop-out rates have increased, as have the volume of candidates declining offers. Naturally, the time taken to hire has shot up. We know it’s tough out there.
In this webinar, our Recruitment experts shared the tools and approaches we’ve used in order to survive in the current climate, and ultimately secure the talent that our clients need. We covered:
- What’s happening in the market
- How to broaden your talent vision and shift your mindset
- The art of challenging your internal ‘norms’
- Recruiting based on behaviour and attitude
- Harnessing inclusive strategies
- The need for speed
- The importance of candidate experience
