Welcome to the Talent Short market!
Kirsten Garrett • June 29, 2021
So, how do we adjust our recruitment processes to reflect the market today?
It’s essential to remain flexible and realistic when reviewing applications. It maybe difficult to find the elusive ‘unicorn’ - the job seeker who ticks all the boxes, however there are many skills that remain relevant across the market.
In people2people’s latest market report, when you just can’t source the job seeker with the ‘best fit’, the advice is to reassess the skills that are required and those which can be taught on the job. This will assist in expanding the pool of relevant applicants.
To summarise:
- Harness the power of transferable skills.
- Consider the value of culture fit over specific skills and experience.
- When candidates are in short supply, keep an open mind and you will find that difficult to fill role is vacant for less time!
