"We are hiring but the candidates keep dropping out of our process. What do we do?" Over recent weeks, Kathryn Pride has been asked this very question by hiring managers and talent acquisition specialists in her network, highlighting a trend for high-quality candidates unexpectedly turning down competitive offers. But why, and what can be done? Using real-life examples, Kathryn has written about the most common themes for this behaviour amongst candidates and how employers can prepare for and mitigate against the likelihood of this happening. Some examples explored include: 1. Staying put - not being satisifed with their current working environment, but choosing to remain 'just in case' 2. Misaligned motivations - opting for a higher immediate salary with limited growth opportunity, over a role with guaranteed greater long-term career and earning potential 3. Pausing the search - unsure of what they want, candidates are considering new qualfications and a career pivot https://lnkd.in/e8ZwGSmF Read Kathryn's article for deeper insights, and let us know if you have experienced any of these behaviours in your hiring processes in the comments below. #candidatebehaviour #hiringprocess

Happy 25th birthday to our sister company Pure Search! What a milestone to achieve, and you're looking great for it!

Last week our CEO Terri Loska joined Interactive Workshops at their Gala Dinner at Fortnum & Mason, and there was an unexpected highlight on the night! The guests were a vibrant group of HR, L&D and senior professionals, invited to enjoy an evening of networking and discussion on the theme ‘Consumers vs Contributors’. Over dinner there were a number of great contributors sharing their stories, poems and speeches on developing future leaders and creating inclusive workplaces. And there was an after-dessert 'treat' for Terri, along with Darren Cross FCIPD and Ella Vize...Keynote Karaoke! Each were surprised with having to give an off-the-cuff two-minute motivational speech to the room. Great fun!

Earlier this month, we hosted our 'Navigating a career in Credit' webinar. Joined by an enthusiastic panel of industry experts, we discussed their personal experiences from their careers in Credit and the actions they took to secure success. We've put all the best bits into an article to provide a Credit careers resource, outlining helpful tips to prepare for your next interview process. Find the link to the article in the comments. The Dartmouth Credit team is working on a number of exciting opportunities at the moment. Get in touch with Samah Shahed if you're looking to start your career, or if you already have experience and are looking for your next opportunity then reach out to Joel Sharpe. #creditjobs #credit

Last week, Andy Miller hosted the 'Navigating a career within Credit' webinar. Joined by our expert lineup of panelists, Alberto Ceron, Ifi Ekwere, Denisa Mitu, CFA, and Carlotta Munini, the session provided a multitude of key takeaways for our attendees, including: - Internships and beyond: extracurricular activity enhances your experience and knowledge, adding value to your professional journey. They also offer you insights into different teams or sectors, and could identify potential areas you might not have previously considered. - Be inquisitive: don't be afraid to ask questions, even the ones that seem simple such as 'why?'. This showcases your genuine interest in learning and understanding. - Showcase yourself: being able to do the job isn't everything. A crucial aspect of any role is bringing your own personal flare, acting with kindness, and displaying a positive attitude. This will leave a longer-lasting impression on those who matter. A big thank you to all of our panellists and attendees, we hope you enjoyed the session as much as we did!

*Sings* We are the champions of netball! Last week was the final match in the Go Mammoth® netball league for our London teams and what a match it was! There was some excellent teamwork on the court and the final goal scored was a nail-biter, but the team clinched the win! Three cheers to Christopher Voss, Emma Johnson, Lizzie Louis, Lucy Bills, Rachael Eddom, Eimeir Walsh CTA ACA, Raees Mahmood, Brianna S., Luca Giuricich, Annabel Previte, Emma Harrison and Ellie Sljivic for six weeks of dedicated play, come rain or shine. It was great to have Catalyst Partners and Pure Search on the court with us. Being part of Kernel Global means Dartmouth is part of a highly successful and collaborative group of brands, and Netball is just one of the many activities where we get to do this outside of work. Creating a culture where we can work and socialise together is important, and we're proud of the initiatives our teams create to support this too.
