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

Most of the businesses we partner with choose to outsource 100% of their recruitment process to us. Sometimes when the investment needed for full outsourcing is not available, clients opt to retain us on a consultancy basis. This was the case recently with Active Fusion. Thank you for the glowing testimonial and thank you for choosing to partner with us!   #charityjobs #recruitmentadvice #recruitmentconsultants

With single vacancies attracting 100s of candidates that's a LOT of reading and shortlisting of CVs to get through... Averaging 5 minutes per CV could result in up to 8 hours’ constant reading and shortlisting (with no guarantee of finding the right candidate). Show me a Hiring Manager with 8 free hours in one week! It is not a good use of time, nor money. ▶ Take the easier route: Pimento Connection #hellopimento

How much revenue/spend under management are talent solutions providers responsible for in the UK? Fun Friday Fact....this is now over half of all spend in the UK market. And it's a fair bet to say this will only increase. TALiNT Partners' Top 500 staffing firms report also highlights separately the top #rpo #msp and #talentsolutions providers. If you're a talent solutions provider you are obviously going to want to know where you rank, and if you're a provider to talent solutions firms, you're definitely going to want to know know who's in the report.

After 28 years in the industry, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new company and website: https://lnkd.in/eUd2mJxQ! This new chapter comes after an unexpected career shift last year. Losing my corporate job was a challenge, but it also gave me the opportunity to reflect, recharge, and rediscover my passion.

At Reach Hire, I combine time-tested recruiting strategies with the latest technology—always grounded in a people-first approach. My focus is on connecting top talent with companies in Manufacturing, Retail, and Consumer Goods.
