Theme spotlight: Recruitment levels
Increasing competition for talent and shortages in the labour market have made it difficult to recruit people at all levels. Recruiting for senior and skilled roles has proved most challenging for employers, but organisations have also struggled to attract low-skilled candidates.
Employers looking to recruit people at different levels should think holistically about their workforce and take a proactive approach to widening their talent pools. To adopt a more proactive approach, consider varying your outreach efforts and the channels you use to attract people. Organisations should also take time to engage candidates throughout the recruitment process and remove any barriers that might stop people applying at different levels.
