Coming out of a global pandemic you would imagine mass unemployment, few new vacancies and a raft of willing candidates to accept your role on your terms, you have a great business and they need a job ……….right?
In fact, the opposite is true.
In the latter half of 2021 we saw huge numbers of new roles to market, recruitment businesses desperately trying to recruit into their business to help fill the roles being registered and literally no one applying on the traditional channels to job adverts.
2022 feels a little calmer, however the talent shortage and lack of applications continues so how as a business do you secure the candidate you want for your role?
Work ethics have changed, employees look for companies where work pressure doesn’t affect their personal life. We can lose a candidate’s interest in the best brand and benefits in an instant if there is no flexibility or home working options. A modern-day company offers so much to their employees. The work conditions should be balanced, and it shouldn’t become monotonous to work all day.
In fact adulthood and trust is the key when securing the right people for your business.
But what does it offer you, the employer?
When correctly executed a sense of rejuvenation and freedom is the result, more dynamism in the business, less sickness, better retention, and because they feel trusted your employees are willing to tackle tasks with more motivation!
In short, get away from the conventional working standards- embrace the possibilities and open your doors to a whole new wave of talent.
