Recruiting in a competitive market can be super hard! Especially, now that job vacancies are reported to be higher than pre-pandemic levels. Due to a mismatch between the high number of job vacancies currently available, and the shortage of candidates on the market, candidates have the pick of the bunch right now. This means it’s […]
Now we don’t want to jinx anything, but can you believe COVID restrictions have finally been lifted and things are set to be going back to ‘normal’ – if we can even remember what that is! So how will recruitment fare in this new ‘normal’? What changes has the pandemic made that we predict will […]
Now more than ever it’s so important to highlight your company culture and benefits in order to attract top talent.

It’s been a bit of a strange time recently hasn’t it? (…Is that the understatement of the year!?) We’ve seen the job market do a complete 180°… As many of us know, unfortunately, there are a lot of candidates now looking for work, but not enough jobs on offer. Because of that, some businesses are thinking, […]
Can you remember a time when face-to-face interviews were the norm? It feels like a distant memory doesn’t it?! We’ve all had to adapt to a new way of working, with face-to-face interviews being replaced by online interviews. But how can you be sure you’ve found the right fit? There are so many things to […]
