Are you preparing for the future?
Due to HR News’ recent announcement that a quarter of the UK workforce will change jobs in the next six months, now is the time to assess your staffing needs.
You have to act fast.
Over the next few weeks, it’s imperative that you get everything in place to onboard a new employee and put your feelers out to draw in quality candidates.
With so much software available to businesses, you likely have multiple sources of data production to guide your recruitment decision-making. Reach out to your finance team if you have one or an accountant if you don’t, and gather everything you’ll need to make a six-month forecast – including HR-relevant KPIs.
Does the data suggest growth is on the horizon? Is your market on the precipice of a big boom? Even a business that’s expecting a steady six months will have recruitment needs, so you need to identify the weaknesses along your value chain and prepare to recruit before you encounter an issue.
The team at Ross Clifford & Associates are always emphasising the power of networking. It’s important!
We strongly believe that you don’t need to be actively hiring to engage in your industry’s community and establish a positive reputation for your business. In fact, you might find some of your company’s best employees when you’re not even looking.
Until you have everything in place to make an effective job offer, you need to maintain a friendly and professional relationship with qualified talent. This way, you can start to get a feel for who would thrive within your workplace and will integrate with your current team seamlessly. This will reduce growing pains when it’s (finally!) time to onboard someone.
Don’t ruin all your progress by hesitating at the last moment. The next six months are going to get crazy. If the reports are to be believed, talent mobility will surge – putting your business at a loose end.
Are any of your employees planning a move?
Once you’ve taken the time to review your employee data and assess your hiring needs, prioritise filling existing and upcoming gaps as urgently as possible. The longer a position sits open, the more your business will suffer.
