📈 Emerging Trends in UK's and Europe's RPO Market 📈 The Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) market in the UK and Europe is undergoing significant shifts. As businesses adapt to the ever-changing landscape, several key trends are making waves in the sector. Firstly, there is a growing emphasis on data-driven recruitment. Companies are increasingly leveraging advanced analytics and AI to enhance their hiring processes. This technology helps in predicting candidate success and improving retention rates. According to a report by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, 70% of European RPO providers are now using AI tools. Another notable trend is the increasing focus on diversity and inclusion. Organisations are recognising the value of a diverse workforce and are implementing strategies to mitigate unconscious bias in recruitment. Recent data from Deloitte indicates that 65% of UK companies have initiated diversity-focused hiring programs within their RPO agreements. Sustainability is also gaining traction in the recruitment realm. Businesses are adopting eco-friendly practices and promoting remote working options to reduce their carbon footprints. A survey by the Confederation of British Industry revealed that 50% of firms now include sustainability criteria in their recruitment outsourcing processes. At biggsolutions, we are committed to staying ahead of these trends.

Jo Hamer (FIRP) and I had 3 lovely meetings today. We asked for service feedback and where we could improve. 1 client mentioned we're too fast! Apparently, we respond to emails so quickly we are on it before they have a chance to find out all the details!!! Client 2 said it was our speed and relationship with candidates that they loved. Client 3 said our candidates stay and progress. She said she loves them and they end up getting promoted away from her. Retention is excellent. We also heard some horror stories about the behaviour of other agencies. Not responding for days, calling multiple times a week despite being told there is no recruitment and suppliers that change rates and fees throughout the process. It felt really good to hear we are doing a good job. We could just do with them having more jobs for us!!! Frankly Recruitment, really is raising the bar in our industry!!! 3 more meetings tomorrow. It's great to be having face to face meets :) #franklydifference https://lnkd.in/d5d5ZPu

Are you using recruitment agencies that are under delivering? If you're experiencing issues such as delays, poor-quality candidates, or lack of communication, there are a few steps you can take: Clarify Expectations: Have a detailed discussion with the agency about what you're looking for in terms of candidate quality, timelines, and communication. Sometimes misalignment of expectations is a major contributor to poor results. Assess the Agencies' Track Record: If you've been using agencies for a while without satisfactory results, it may be worth considering if the agencies have a good track record in your industry or hiring needs. Provide Constructive Feedback: Share specific feedback about what isn’t working—whether it’s the quality of candidates, speed of delivery, or understanding of your company’s needs. A good agency will appreciate this feedback and work to improve. Consider Alternatives: If the current agencies are consistently under-delivering, it may be time to explore other recruitment options. Some agencies specialise in different sectors or have more robust networks, and that could better align with your needs. Are you facing challenges with a particular agency or type of recruitment? I can offer more tailored suggestions if you’d like.

NEW—Hiring intentions remain positive for businesses in the UK, with SMEs showing more optimism about temp recruitment in both the short and medium-term. Interesting findings in the latest Recruitment & Employment Confederation JobsOutlook report. This survey takes the temperature of employer sentiment about the UK’s economic outlook and recent results indicate that while there is still negativity, the fact that sentiments are showing signs of improvement in London is a favourable indicator for the rest of the UK. #employeesentiment #hiringtrends #smes #sme #jobsoutlookreport #recruitmenttrends #economicoutlook #optimism #positiveoutlook #rec #london #businessnews

𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭—𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 ‘𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥’. In 2024, around 85% of UK businesses recruited, with 31% increasing their hiring in Q2 (totaljobs.com). This showed strong demand, but clients are now looking for specific solutions rather than broad services. Productisation enables us to become more than just a service provider, aligning specifically to each client’s requirements.   Productisation can be the difference between standing out as a trusted partner or blending in with competitors. Are you finding that a tailored approach has made a difference, or are traditional methods still effective?    #Productisation #StrategicRecruitment

What does it mean to be a Non-Executive Director nowadays? When to start thinking about this career path? I found this insight from our UK colleagues, Board Practice, very interesting. So many people think about the best way to combine executive and non-executive roles. The good thing is that they might be very complementary, with a strong value to build on both sides: "My executive role in the private sector allows our team to move faster on initiatives and this is something which I bring to my non-executive role, where traditionally businesses move slower. It has also supported me from a networking perspective, opening more doors, allowing more partnerships to happen in my executive role, which contributes to the bottom line". #boardroom #career #NED #executive Odgers Berndtson Luxembourg #Csuite #executivesearch

Feeling the feel good? I was pleased to read that the UK had officially exited recession last Friday. GDP rose 0.6% after 2 negative quarters. Better than economists predicted. The service sector, for which staffing is a major contributor grew even more to 0.7%. For many, we are experiencing the benefits of this growth now. In our sector, most staffing firms are open to hiring so as to take advantage of the growing economy but this in turn creates challenges. With a shortage of experienced recruiters out there, employers are having to fight to attract the best. That means more money on the table, and for some recruiters, multiple offers. A typical candidate driven market. If you have been thinking about your career options over the past 18 months and haven't done anything about it, now is the best time to secure an amazing opportunity and an amazing deal. __________________________________ If you enjoyed this post please share it with your network and follow me, Simon Gee for my insights and daily content about the staffing sector.
