Conquering the candidate crisis – the recruitment recipe for success

43% of businesses increased their recruitment activity in Q3 and 32% of businesses plan to increase their recruitment in Q4, yet only 26% of UK job workers are actively job hunting… So, how do you conquer the candidate crisis and become the business of choice?

Aware that our market is ever-changing, we’re committed to developing our knowledge base so that we can better understand candidates and continue to build upon our success for our clients.

Senior Recruitment Consultant Kayleigh Bradley, who has over 10 years’ experience placing candidates with top-tier businesses, recently attended a webinar revealing the state of the UK’s recruitment industry post-pandemic. This knowledge has provided us with key insights such as the top reasons for Covid-era job changes, number one being ‘out of necessity’.

Also, the top motivation for a candidate to move industry was to opt for a better work-life balance and the top motivation for retaining staff who were considering a change was to offer an improved salary.

This developing knowledge and research of our current market and candidates means we are well placed to advise on how to attract the best talent. Our recruiters also offer expertise on how to engage with and motivate candidates, positioning your business as their number one choice.

With a diminishing talent pool, we also act as an extension to our clients ‘hiring’ team, working in tandem to proactively spot developing talent. Through exploring periphery and adjacent industries, we also seek suitable candidates with transferrable skills, unlocking access to a new source of talent for the automotive industry.

Firm believers in doing more than just throwing a CV at a client, through our experience and knowledge, we have built a recruitment process that exceeds industry standards at every level.

At a time where we are seeing unprecedented levels of demand, and candidate availability at an all-time low, what is your recipe for recruitment success?
