Our trend analysis and benchmarking data on recruitment, workforce planning and retention helps HR and employers recruit and retain effectively
Increasing competition for talent and shortages in the labour market have made it difficult to recruit people at all levels. Recruiting for senior and skilled roles has proved most challenging for employers, but organisations have also struggled to attract low-skilled candidates.
Employers looking to recruit people at different levels should think holistically about their workforce and take a proactive approach to widening their talent pools. To adopt a more proactive approach, consider varying your outreach efforts and the channels you use to attract people. Organisations should also take time to engage candidates throughout the recruitment process and remove any barriers that might stop people applying at different levels.
Employers continue to experience skills shortages and recruitment difficulties across roles but more pressure is being faced for senior and skilled positions. There are a range of things organisations can do to attract more people into their organisations like using inclusive recruitment methods, developing a strong employer brand and providing transparency around pay and benefits.
