The Chartered Institute of Personnel and development reports that organisations are finding recruitment harder with 75% reporting recruitment difficulties.
With the lower value of sterling, the uncertainty over Brexit and with unemployment at a 42 year low of 4.8% we may see increasing pressure on recruitment at all levels of the labour market.
Following from this we are seeing an increase in the concept of employer branding and a more stringent approach to recruitment interviewing with competency-based approaches being used increasingly.
Both these concepts are open to small employers as well as large and are likely to make a difference in the calibre of candidates appointed.
The need for a focussed professional approach to recruitment is increasing and Employer Solutions has the skills and experience to assist.
