‘75% OF THE GLOBAL
WORKFORCE ARE NOT ACTIVELY
LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB.’
LINKEDIN TALENT TRENDS 2014
We use advertisements as one of our many candidate
sourcing tools but our offering goes well beyond this.
The best people are often not looking for work, are
generally well looked after and will only respond to a
unique and competent approach.
WE UNDERSTAND NEEDS
QUICKLY.
Our specialised and personable consultants develop a
comprehensive understanding of your needs and your
business which means we can proactively approach your
competitor’s best people and “sell” an opportunity – vital in
a talent-short market.
WE DON’T WORK WITH
EVERYONE.
But we do work well with an assorted and growing group of
clients which understand that genuine talent is rare, is not
often freely available and will only be available for a finite
period of time.
WE INNOVATE.
Around 73% of 18-34 year olds found their last job through
a social network.
That’s why we have invested significant resources to
become industry leaders in utilising social media to
broadcast the exciting opportunities we are working on
and to build up our talent pool.
