Released today, the latest #MEOSUK finds that UK hiring optimism will increase in the fourth quarter, with employers reporting a Net Employment Outlook of +28% in Q4 2024, up eight percentage points on last quarter. The labour market is slowly strengthening, but uncertainty over new legislation still hangs in the air. With hiring optimism driven by hard-to-fill roles, positive hiring intention may be difficult to turn into jobs growth. Discover what’s happening in your industry in the full report.

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

📈 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. If you're looking to navigate these changes and optimise your recruitment strategy, visit www.biggsolutions.com or get in touch via: [email protected] | mobile: +447739588558 #Recruitment #RPO #UKBusiness

In today’s rapidly changing talent landscape, businesses face a pivotal choice: stick to the status quo and fall behind or adapt and gain a competitive edge.  Despite a drop in the UK's vacancy rate, many sectors still struggle to secure the skills they need. 86% of organisations can't find the talent they’re looking for, and 39% are just replacing departing employees. The truth is, the talent shortage is far from over. Discover how your business can adapt and thrive in our Talent Solutions Ultimate Recruitment Guide.

“Exploring the Value of Executive Recruiters in Attracting Top Talent, Part 3” In my previous blogs, we laid the groundwork for understanding why executive search firms justify their fees, initially focusing on the critical, often overlooked factors of Expertise and Casting a wider net. In today's blog, I will delve into another crucial reason why executive search consultants are worth what they charge: cost. Employers persist in misinterpreting the actual cost of recruiting for high-value leadership positions. This can be divided into two key categories: direct recruitment costs and, more significantly, the cost of making a poor or incorrect choice or mishiring. From a tactical standpoint, recruiting costs extend beyond simply posting a job on platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed. It encompasses the salaries and benefits of the recruiting and employment staff and the line managers involved in the hiring process (who are not as productive in their regular roles while engaged in recruiting activities). Additional hidden or often overlooked costs include travel and entertainment expenses for in-house recruiting staff, external research, and source development costs, ATS/CRM databases and maintenance expenses, reference checking and degree verification, and clerical costs associated with managing responses from numerous unqualified candidates. They add up quickly and should be considered when estimating the true cost of recruitment. The cost of mis-hiring is not to be taken lightly: Misplacements lead to displacements that necessitate replacements. According to the Conference Board, 50% of senior-level hires leave within 18 months. That is a staggering statistic. It's a common misconception that the replacement cost is solely measured in the hard costs listed above. However, these only represent one-third of the true cost of a mis-hire. The remaining two-thirds encompass mistakes, missed opportunities, lost business, disruptions, lawsuits, etc. Depending on the source, the true cost of a mis-hire can range from five to twenty-five times an executive's base compensation. For instance, for an executive with a $250,000 base salary, a mis-hire could cost between $1.5 million and $6 million. Engaging a reputable Executive Search firm is not just a cost but an investment in risk mitigation and enhancing your business value. #retainedexecutivesearch #leadership #careers #talentacquisition #management
