This report from InterTradeIreland shows that many businesses across the island are struggling to find the right people to fill jobs. Around a third of companies can’t access the workforce they need, with some finding it hard to fill long-term roles, and others battling short-term gaps. It’s clear that this is a big challenge for businesses, but there are some practical steps that hiring managers can take to ease the pressure: 1. Be More Flexible: As Martin Robinson mentioned in the article, flexibility is key. More and more candidates are looking for a better work-life balance, so offering things like remote working, flexible hours, or a mix of office and home-based work can make a real difference when it comes to attracting the right talent. 2. Use Technology to Bridge Skills Gaps: Embracing technology can help companies overcome some of the skills shortages they’re facing. Automation, AI, and digital tools can streamline tasks, while investing in upskilling employees can fill the gaps in knowledge. 3. Broaden Your Search: It’s time to get creative! Consider widening your search to include candidates from non-traditional backgrounds with the core skills, partner with colleges or universities, or look at reskilling your current employees to fill roles internally. 4. Boost Your Employer Brand: These days, candidates want more than just a job – they want to work for a company whose values align with their own. By highlighting your workplace culture, employee benefits, and opportunities for growth, you’ll stand out from other businesses and attract top talent. 5. Partner with Recruitment Experts: Working with a specialist recruitment agency can help you tap into a wider network of candidates, including those who aren’t actively looking but would be open to the right opportunity. This can help fill both long-term and short-term vacancies more quickly, taking the pressure off your internal HR teams. As companies continue to navigate the challenges brought about by economic shifts, taking a proactive approach to recruitment will be key to staying competitive. By focusing on flexibility, technology, and expanding your talent pool, businesses may overcome these hurdles and keep growing. https://lnkd.in/emTB6AtQ
