2. If businesses want to increase their market share or promote a new product, they research,
plan and invest for the long term. Yet when it comes to recruiting the best possible talent for the
future longevity of their business, many seem to think it will just appear. As employers we need
to adopt the same medium and long term investment strategy into attracting young people, if
we are to get the very best future talent into our companies.
