Redefining Recruitment
Redefining Recruitment
In a post-covid era, the job market has changed dramatically. We know that candidate expectations are higher. They want increased starting salaries and flexibility as well as hybrid or remote working. While working from home was once a novelty, it is now very much expected. Employers that adapted to the new market, making efforts to meet expectations, were the ones securing the best talent. However, with candidates in increasing demand, the market remains very competitive. More is needed to be done to secure talent.
Candidates have less patience than ever before. With interviews and offers at their feet, great candidates are no longer willing to wait weeks for outcomes on job applications and interviews. They are actively interviewing with proactive companies and going to those companies who express an interest in them first. Taking too long doesn’t instil confidence or scream “We want you!” to candidates. Where it used to be accepted that applications alone took a couple of weeks to review, we are now looking at a turnaround of 2-3 weeks for the whole recruitment lifecycle! Plus, candidates are favouring positions that offer a 1 state interview process, where the company is more proactively decisive. To secure the best talent, recruiters and hiring managers alike have to move quickly or else everyone misses out.
We know as hiring managers you are very busy people. After all, recruitment isn’t your sole job. You have your day jobs to do, and with a shortage of staff, you’re likely busier than ever! That is why you put your trust in us. Our day job is filling the vacancies you instruct us on, saving you time, money and resources.
We source, headhunt, screen and conduct initial interviews with candidates before sending you a shortlist of suitable candidates for your role. However, the key to successfully filling your vacancies, is how quickly you respond to applicants and arrange interviews. This is still the case even when working with agencies! Delays in the process mean you not only lose great candidates but, will have to restart the whole process again! Ultimately, extending the waiting period for your new hire to join and help boost your team.
Employers that take too long, could also find that their competitors who move quicker to secure talent are reaping multiple benefits. They secure the talent but, also get a head start on work with their new staff member, meeting business demands. We want to help you to fill your roles and strengthen your workforce, but we cannot do this without you. Work with us and not against us!
