Many recruitment agencies receive bad press, for many different reasons. There are large numbers of agencies operating in the UK, and with varying degrees of candidate care.

PR Recruitment has been - and always will be - a constant challenge for agencies. Although this year is feeling slightly different. Agencies are trying to balance hiring needs with an inconsistent market and slow sign-offs on new business. Talent is harder to entice to new opportunities, with job security remaining front of mind. A lot of agencies are asking, for all of the redundancies that have been made, where is the talent? They are simply getting absorbed into what is still a candidate short market. There are more jobs than talent. As highlighted in the below PRWeek UK article, investing in your employer brand has become critical to attracting and retaining talent. This includes: - Building your agency's LinkedIn presence - Contributing to industry media coverage - Evolving your benefits package to align with your agency's values - Telling your agency's story when interviewing including agency growth, agency goals, and career opportunities. Be specific about what sets you apart. Want some help attracting top PR talent?

Food for thought for Executive Search firms looking for top Partner talent currently... Tempting Talent's Research and Insights team have put together this report, based on Hunt Scanlon Media's Top 50 US Executive Search firms. As we can see, in the past 12 months there have been very few new Partners promoted into the Partner pool across the industry. The average tenure for Partners is 8 years and 8 months! If you are looking to attract revenue generating talent, you need to ensure you have an incredibly attractive platform with a key point of difference. This can include equity and investment vehicles. Having a pitch based on a strong execution team, just isn't a point of difference. As a business owner looking to attract this talent, particularly if you can't offer equity - you must think creatively. You should be looking at Principals/Client Partners from your competitor firms, hiring on potential and not so much of a proven track record.

What's the quickest way to turn off any senior candidate? Asking them to do a task stage. (Extra points if they're already 4 interviews deep into the process.) Because by that point, if you’re still unsure whether they are right for you. Then it’s you, not them. And I get it - it can be hard to work out the capabilities of somebody when they’re not in the building doing the do. But, there are definitely ways to avoid having to ask talent to complete a task as part of the interview process. And here are some of my favourites: ● Know.what.you.are.looking.for.  It sounds basic, but it’s not. Outline what you want before meeting ANYONE. Write a job spec, and then rewrite it until it’s clear, correct and in line with your business needs. ● Make sure all your interviewers are aligned. It’s even harder to agree on the right person when you’re all looking for a different thing. Take the time to understand what this hire needs to be and do for every person in the process. ● Get them to present a previous project. From this you will understand their creative approach, how they present and how they solve a business problem - all without the need of free labour. ● Give them clarity.  If you are looking for a specific thing within each stage be clear to be kind. Share interview prep ahead of schedule to allow them the best chance to succeed. An interview process is integral for finding that right hire.  And, it's often the first experience that a potential hire will get of your business. So make the process work for YOU and for THEM.
