It’s Time to Focus on Your Recruitment

4 June 2021 | Blog

The number of vacancies in the UK is at its highest since the beginning of the pandemic and the unemployment rate has dropped slightly. It’s great to finally see positive recruitment and business progression after an uncertain 15 months of restrictions.

As the economy starts to open up again and the vaccine roll-out continuing to offer more hope for the future. In addition, many of us are looking at ways to push forward with our business and recruitment plans.

If you’re looking to introduce new members to your team, we can help as a recruitment agency. Our recruitment services draw from a network across the UK, helping you find the right people for the job.

A common concern at the moment is a lack of talent – whether it be chefs, front of house staff, software engineers or qualified tradespeople, we’re seeing this challenge across all sectors. There’s an assumption that with so many people made redundant last year that roles would be easy to fill. There’s a number of factors at play, including Brexit and Covid-19.

For example, in the hospitality sector, a great number of workers were from the EU and are no longer here. Others now view the hospitality sector as risky due to the ongoing restrictions, and people want more job security.

Attracting talent from the EU is now a difficult process and you must comply with visa sponsorship rules and the new points-based immigration system. It can make the hiring process longer.

Virtual recruitment, inductions and on-boarding have become more frequent. We think this approach will stay as it speeds up the process and is convenient for candidates and you the employer.
