will grow their skill set, giving them greater opportunities in the longer term.”
With uncertain job markets in many parts of the world, companies are looking further afield for potential employees – it often proves to be just as easy to relocate someone from elsewhere in Europe as someone who’s already in the UK. The right candidate often comes with family responsibilities to consider. There is usually a higher success rate when incentives such as relocation packages, help with accommodation or orientation on arrival are offered. With fewer full ex-pat offers now available, additional assistance can prove very attractive to potential candidates.
Beyond the salary
Potential executives now look beyond the salary when deciding on available job opportunities; indeed many seek wider benefit options and flexibility in terms of location.
Changes in legislation such as shared parental leave have also impacted. As people increasingly look for a better work/life balance and autonomy, a greater range of incentives are now available to potential employees.
“It’s imperative that companies spend time looking after candidates, before, during and after the recruitment process, as retention of good staff is just as important as the initial recruitment.” said Victoria Cornwell.
To sum up…
Despite the challenges, the outlook for the industry is upbeat. As skills become more transferable, people are willing to look globally for the ‘right’ opportunity. However companies need to be more open in their approach to attract new talent, and look beyond remuneration.
The great thing is that the industry is full of highly experienced individuals who are keen to pass on their knowledge to ensure the longevity and success of the industry itself.
