Business clinic: Working in partnership to attract talent

We have looked into the key recruitment trends of the last 12 months and unearthed some interesting findings.

Almost five years on from the start of the recession, 2013 saw the tentative revival of the UK labour market.

There continues to be a shortage of quality candidates with appropriate levels of skills in some sectors, such as engineering and technical skills and accountancy, and in others such as legal this is not as pronounced.

There is an more awareness amongst businesses of this increased shortage and, as a smaller percentage of businesses recruit on mass, working in partnership to attract the right talent between recruitment specialist and end employer becomes more significant and important.
