Changes in Todays Job Market
Not too long ago, hiring a new team member was as simple as writing a job advert, posting it online, and waiting for applications to arrive. Employers held the power, candidates competed for roles, and HR teams simply managed the flow of CVs.
But today’s job market is very different. With the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Remote and hybrid working gave candidates more flexibility and choice, while many professionals used the time to rethink their careers and priorities. This sparked the “Great Resignation,” with employees moving on in search of roles that better suited their lifestyle and ambitions.
As a result, candidates are now in control. High quality hires hold higher value than ever before, and they expect more than just a salary. They’re looking for flexibility, culture, career progression, and alignment with their personal goals. This shift means businesses can’t just sit back and wait for applicants to come to them.
How Recruitment Strategies Have Changed
Recruitment has become a proactive process, or in the world of recruiters… a headhunt. Instead of reviewing inbound applications, HR professionals and recruiters now actively seek out talent.
With this change, comes a cost. Since top candidates are no longer applying for jobs, it means the need to invest in advanced recruitment tools for CV searching, market insights, competitor analysis etc. This includes tools such as LinkedIn recruiter, advanced job boards and also using their CRM candidate databases to source.
The Value of a Recruitment Partner
Now we know this sounds a lot, but this is where we come in.
As a business owner, we understand you probably don’t have time to research your competitors and their hiring strategies, spend hours CV searching across multiple job boards and databases, arrange and conduct interviews and check references as well as run your usual business operations.
Recruiters provide market insight, understand candidate motivations, and act as a bridge between what companies need and what candidates want.
