Why you need to engage with a great recruitment partner NOW

The reality is that 3 months ago most businesses pressed the pause button and recruitment was put on hold. We are now in a position whereby the economy is desperate to get moving again and businesses have had to reflect and readjust their business and indeed their people strategy moving forward. And, the reality is great people are still needed for businesses to recover and grow. The reality is it takes on average 3 months to fill a job role and for anyone that thinks it will be easy now the market is buoyant then think again.

It’s revolutionised the way we operate and continues to do so.

How COVID-19 has affected recruitment?

COVID-19 is a global issue and hit the UK 8 weeks ago and has since changed everything for businesses up and down the country including the recruitment industry. The virus is, unsurprisingly, having a catastrophic impact on businesses and the recruitment industry is certainly not immune to that. Businesses are having to adapt quickly in order to survive and it is very possible that the legacy of COVID-19 may forever change the nature of recruitment and the workplace landscape.
