Attracting and Retaining Top Talent – MA Senior Appointments
With the employment rate at an all-time high, attracting talent is a challenge but retaining key talent is the real difficulty.
The term “war for talent” refers to the extremely competitive market we face today, whereby companies are crying out for the best people to join their organisation. The power is now in the hand hands of the job seeker and the question is, what are candidates actually looking for?
It wasn’t too long ago that getting a job in a big corporate company was at the top of every ambitious candidates’ list. Fast forward a few years, and it has become increasingly obvious that this is no longer the case. Large organisations are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with exciting start up’s in the fast-paced recruitment race for top talent.
Why you may ask? We all know the way we work is changing, job seekers are searching for more meaningful work where they have a significant impact and can add value to a company. It is no longer about salary anymore, but a flexible working environment, autonomy, exposure and growth opportunity. The story behind a company is what attracts talent today – and the vision of that company, where they are going and of course the people and values at the core of it all.
