Employment and our working lives as we know them have been changed and changed again ever since the start of the pandemic. At its height, the pandemic forced countless businesses to close whether temporarily or for good, to pivot with no lead time, or to otherwise reinvent themselves. While we have moved past the worst of the pandemic and into the ‘new normal’, the effects on employment are still keenly felt.
Those companies who’ve chosen to invest in new ways of working have seen high levels of growth and dealt with the accompanying need to bring in highly qualified talent more quickly and efficiently than ever before.
Though many have successfully ridden that wave, the question of what project resourcing solutions will look like going forward is still hotly debated.
Same Page: Keeping New Candidates Close and Current Employees Closer.
Although bringing in new talent can be vital for a project to move forward, it can be just as important to leverage the power of your existing team by letting them know when you’re actively seeking new people to bring on board. By getting existing employees involved and informed, you’ll be better placed to find quality applicants who will add value to your current company culture as well as contribute to project success.
Consider how your existing team might describe their work for your company if they were telling their friends about it.
Are you providing an engaging employee experience? Does your team feel valued and heard? Would they encourage a qualified friend to apply for an open position?
If you’re unsure of the answer on some of these, then you might consider how improving the work experience could help attract some major talent to your team.
Streamlining The Candidate Experience.
A personalised candidate experience is essential if you want to stand out to the top tier talent you’re hoping to attract.
Your current team could provide the answer to this as well – ask them about the process they went through and what they would change to make it a smoother experience.
A major part of what we do here at Concentis is to use our extensive industry knowledge and strong understanding of your needs to quickly identify, evaluate and match your project with the highest-performing professionals. With our unique talent acquisition methodology, we have curated the candidate experience for you.
Three Tips to Stand Out Before the Process Even Begins
1. Build Up Your Brand Reputation and Recognition
Your brand plays a critical role in attracting candidates during a push to bring new talent onboard.
Even when working with us to help connect you to some of the most qualified available talent in your industry, if your company already enjoys a reliable reputation and has good brand recognition then even more candidates will be actively seeking opportunities to work with you.
2. Recognise the Value of Remote
Workforce dynamics are changing and remote work is here to stay.
With so many people becoming comfortable working from home, many of them are now actively seeking companies who are prepared to offer options to work remotely.
Though working from home isn’t applicable to every position, the roles where it is feasible could strongly benefit from flexible work arrangements.
3. Know What You’re Looking For
Especially now, in a post pandemic employment landscape, specifics and details are more important than ever.
When your project goes live and every candidate can quickly assess whether they can meet the role requirements, not only does the pool of applicants improve, those who don’t apply this time go away with a positive impression and an idea about where they need to be to move on to your level.
Refine and Optimise
When you work with Concentis, a lot of these things are taken care of as a part of our specialised services. With every role filled you learn something about how you need your process to happen, the candidates you most want to see, and the direction your project is going in overall.
The trick is to take what you’ve noticed and feed it back to us. Working with us on contractor and direct placements means that we do the refinement and optimisation of your process for you.
Sourcing and assigning resourcing industry professionals into specialist roles, we elevate existing capabilities to help you deliver projects safely, on time, and on budget.
