So many applicants, so little quality
Advertise any responsible and well-paid vacancy and you’ll be overwhelmed with applicants.
People looking for a new role don’t need to spend hours searching job boards and recruitment portals because they’re notified instantly about new vacancies by those very applications, and with a single click, they’ve applied.
The subsequent lack of quality in the applicant pool is the expected norm, along with those nagging doubts about the authenticity of the claims made in the more promising CVs. We all know that sinking interview feeling when a high expectation candidate bears no resemblance to their CV.
It’s the talent conundrum…
So many talented individuals are in evidence, until the exact moment you happen to be looking for one.
In the technology solutions market, for example, it’s especially important to find quality people, because it’s the value-add that your organization offers that makes the difference, and brings in those high-value contracts.
But…
Successful people tend not to be looking for a new job, they’re generally doing just fine where they are - thank you very much. And to be clear, we’re not saying that all people formally looking for a new job lack quality, but you take the point.
It’s obvious that having excellent, motivated people makes the difference, and as we emerge into the dystopian post COVID economy, it will be the strong businesses that survive and grow.
The companies we work with benefit from rarely having to advertise senior vacancies.
They rely on us to find the talent, saving them time, and ensuring that when they do meet candidates, they’ve already been given our quality stamp of approval.
