We’re 1 webinar and 2 workshops into our ‘Let’s Talk Talent’ series and the conversation is in full flow. We’ve met and shared ideas with business leaders and HR professionals from various sectors, all with one thing in common, the desire to attract and recruit the best talent into their business.
Next, we gathered around the table to talk about tackling the talent shortage and acquiring talent online. Despite being from businesses of varying sizes , the group shared the same challenges including low performing job boards, poor quality candidates and time to hire. We all agreed there is no quick fix, however there are a number of tools at our disposal to make the whole process simpler and more cost effective.
"The open forum topics and discussion were very beneficial " Phil, Head of Recruitment, Mahle
"A really valuable session to share with others " Stewart, Talent Specialist, Bromford Housing Group
This week saw the third event in our series "The Power of Employer Brand." A number of businesses joined us, all in agreement that having a positive employer brand gives businesses a distinct competitive advantage in the war for talent. The stats don't lie, 87% of employees join a company because of cultural fit and companies with a strong employer brand get twice as many applicants for roles than those with negative brands and spend less on recruiting.
Together we dissected Employer Brand. What is it? Why does it matter? and how do we get ahead of the game? The group shared a number of challenges including high turnover of staff and company culture. The group shared a few 'light bulb moments' and all left with some clear points to put into practice.
