MANAGE YOUR SKILLS SHORTAGE
Factual reasons why recruiting this year puts you
ahead in 2015
1. You have less competition in securing top talent at this time of year.
Starting a process now gives you time to breath and will put your business firmly ahead of the competition.
Interviewing is a very time-consuming business; so rather dedicate the time that you have now to do this
task while your competitors are taking downtime.
2. Candidates are more open to new opportunities.
Tap into this frame of mind by attracting the right talent now.
Even when waiting for bonuses, top talent are keen to make decisions about new career opportunities now,
so that they know they have secured the next phase in their professional lives for the new year.
Combine this mindset with less competition at this time of year and you really have a better opportunity to
get the candidate you want before the year is out.
3. You reduce the biggest threat to getting your chosen candidate.
The main reason why a candidate does not start after accepting an offer is that he/she will get and accept a
counter-offer.
Over the years we have seen that counter-offers are at an annual low at the end of the year - and are at their
highest level in the first quarter of the year.
4. It’s a great time to onboard new employees.
We place a strong emphasis on presenting the employment opportunities to candidates in an attractive
and professional manner. Every suitable candidate is enticed to pursue the opportunity to enable the
pool of candidates to be made as large as possible. Understandably, candidates prefer to have
conversations with well-informed specialists that understand their career and industry.
