💬 Hot Topic in Healthcare Recruitment 💬 With the UK facing financial pressures and an evolving work landscape, is it still sustainable to keep compliance departments onshore in healthcare recruitment? 🤔 Or is offshoring the key to navigating today’s economic climate? 🌍💼 📊 Many top UK healthcare recruitment companies are already shifting their compliance functions offshore, keeping only a few critical roles onshore. This begs the question: What is the best approach for the long-term success and efficiency of our sector? 🚀 💡 Onshore can mean greater control and possibly smoother alignment with UK regulations. 💡 Offshore often offers financial savings and scalability — essential during uncertain times. 📉 With financial constraints impacting the UK, where do you see the balance between cost-effectiveness and operational control? 🔹 If you'd like more information on how I can aid in making a smooth transition from onshore to offshore compliance, please get in touch! 💬 👇 I’d love to hear your insights!

Valuable #recruitment market update from APSCo and James C. at Vacancysoft this morning. At 1st Executive Ltd we've seen many of our UK clients focus on expanding their geographic footprint through the use of "medium cost locations" over recent years, in order to help attract and retain a more diverse workforce, however the latest YTD stats suggest the potential of a return to #london centric hiring strategies. Whilst the dial has only moved marginally with 41% of total vacancies YTD in London (vs 38% in 2023), it could be the sign of things to come. I thought it interesting to note that whilst industry specific trends often impact the findings, the Financial & Professional services market as a whole has contracted slightly in terms of total vacancy volumes YTD (albeit this contradicts the significant growth that we've experienced in #procurement and #suppliermanagement hiring YTD vs 2023 in these markets!). As always, feel free to reach out to myself or the team at 1st Exec should you need specific market insight to support you H2 hiring plans and talent strategy. #procurementjobs #supplychainjobs

🔷 Question of the Week 🔷 Getting your first role in the UK can be tough as many companies want UK experience. Our top tips are: 💼If you can transfer to the UK through your current employer, we would recommend looking into this. 🌐Connect with Recruiters in the space ahead of your move and again when you land. They will know off the market opportunities 🦘 Use your antipodean network to see if anyone knows of a great opportunity 🔗Join UK Property networks when you arrive 🧑🏼‍💻Apply to companies of interest directly through roles advertised and directly via email. They might be more open to taking a risk on you if they don’t have to pay recruiter fees 💰It’s like you will need to take a paycut coming from Australia as the pay is definitely lower, plus you will need someone to take a shine to you without UK experience so you want to make hiring you commercially attractive to a company 🏗️It’s like you will find it easier to join a Consultancy as they hire more often than developers. They are more likely to be able to train you on UK methodologies through their larger teams. Further competition for roles on the developer side can be fierce 💭Be open minded and resilient If anyone has any other great tips, please feel free to add them below 👇🏼 📩 If you have a question please email [email protected]

Retaining top talent is crucial for your business to maintain a competitive edge, particularly in the Welsh job market. Here are several (some obvious) effective strategies for retaining your top talent: ⬇ ◾ Competitive Compensation and Benefits: Ensure that your salary packages are competitive within your industry. Include comprehensive benefits like health insurance, pensions, and bonuses. Flexible benefits, allowing employees to choose what suits them best, can also be very appealing. ◾ Work Life Balance and Flexibility: Offer flexible working such as remote working, flexible hours, and part time opportunities. This flexibility can significantly enhance job satisfaction and loyalty. ◾ Career Development Opportunities: Provide clear career pathways and opportunities for professional development. This could include funding for further education, access to training and workshops, and opportunities to work on challenging projects. ◾ Recognition and Rewards: Implement a system to regularly recognise and reward employees for their hard work and achievements. Recognition can be monetary, such as bonuses or pay raises, or non-monetary, such as awards, extra annual leave days, or public acknowledgment. ◾ Strong Organisational Culture: Foster a positive workplace culture that aligns with the values of your employees. Encourage inclusivity, teamwork, and communication. A strong culture can enhance employee engagement and decrease turnover. ◾ Employee Engagement: Regularly engage with employees through surveys, town hall meetings, and one on one check ins to gather feedback and act on it. Engaged employees are more likely to stay committed to the company. ◾ Leadership and Management Training: Invest in training managers to be effective leaders who can inspire, motivate, and support their teams. Good management practices are often a key factor in an employee’s decision to stay with a company. ◾ Health and Well-being Programmes: Support employee health and well-being through initiatives like gym memberships, mental health days, wellness programs, and supportive workplace policies. ◾ Work Environment and Tools: Ensure that employees have a pleasant work environment and the tools they need to perform their jobs effectively. This includes everything from ergonomic office equipment to the latest technology. ◾ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Employees increasingly value working for organisations that demonstrate social responsibility. Engage in community service projects, sustainability initiatives, and ethical business practices to align with these values. By focusing on these areas, companies in Wales/UK can enhance their ability to retain top talent, thereby stabilising their workforce and fostering a productive and committed team.
