In recent times, businesses have had to restructure, reduce teams, diversify, and deploy flexible and remote work options. Hopefully, most are now in the various stages of rebuilding, or even scaling up again.
During this period, people have re-evaluated what’s important to them, which is reflected in their employment and career choices. Ultimately, if people aren’t knocking down your door to work for you, it’s time to innovate and rethink what you are offering candidates.
Ask yourself: what makes a business an employer of choice?
Talent acquisition and developing and retaining new team members is a strategy that’s best made up of more than a job advertisement, an interview and a throw in the deep end. After all, smart businesses are attractive rather than reactive.
An attractive business:
Recruiting the right people for your team is not about sharing an advert and hoping the right skills land in your inbox. It starts way before that and is successful because of the entire eco-system.
Happy attracting!
