OUT NOW - Tech For Success The Global Recruiter Technology Special The world of work is in constant change, but technology advances have super-charged the employment relationship, the workplace and the experience of getting a job. From social media to AI there are radically new technologies being brought to the recruitment experience with the intention of making the process more efficient, accurate and, if not more enjoyable, then less stressful. But where does true value lie? In this brave new world of shiny and impressive tech, how does the recruiter discern what will work for them and what might not? The Global Recruiter is taking a comprehensive look at the world of recruitment technology. We are examining the areas where technology is having its greatest impact as well as challenging those areas where the human touch is still imperative. We are still far from a situation where recruitment is entirely replaced by technology and there will always be a need for a familiar human touch alongside each new solution. However, it is only through understanding technology – what it does, why and how – that recruiters will be able to use it to its fullest extent and for the good of clients and candidates. https://lnkd.in/e4xwt__j Charlie Cox SThree Lee White WilsonHCG Roger Clements Matrix Robbie Blackhurst Black Capital Group Neil Curry TargetRecruit TargetRecruit UK&I Daniel Bosley Leigh Anderson Bis Henderson Recruitment Kelly Tucker HR Star James Osborne (TRN) The Recruitment Network Vanessa Raath 🌍👩🏼🏫 Bruce C.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year's theme is all about workplace mental health - a topic particularly close to our hearts! 💚 At Matrix, our mission of connecting people to work goes far beyond our innovative workplace technology and solutions — it’s also about improving the lives of the communities we reach through our services, and supporting the people behind it — our colleagues — ensuring they have what they need to thrive, both in and out of work. Our incredible Social Value team works hard to drive better workplace practices that support mental health, as well as addressing the wider issues of social mobility to support minority groups in the workplace, which we know can directly impact mental well-being. From attending our Supplier Forum's and sharing how suppliers can better support the mental health of their temporary employees, to partnering with charities like Leaders in Community, working with local young people to build employability and confidence — a key factor in mental health for young people. And inside Team Matrix? Well, we’re always striving to do better and asking our people what they need to feel supported. Because we know that answering that question can be challenging, last year we launched our Mental Health First Aiders programme. This team of trained colleagues are always available to lend an ear and offer support when it’s needed most. Taking responsibility for the mental wellbeing of our employees and our communities is central to our mission to create a more inclusive, supportive employment ecosystem. It’s about recognising the power of conversation, connection, and care in building healthier workplaces—and healthier minds. To everyone advocating for mental health in the workplace, thank you for making a difference. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WorkplaceWellbeing #ConnectingPeopleToWork

🌟 West London District Jobs Fair 🌟 On Wednesday, Macey Payne from the #SocialValue team and Tega Ayetan from Matrix Talent Pool represented Matrix at the DWP’s West London Job Fair at Wandsworth Job Centre. Alongside other employers like the NHS, they engaged with jobseekers to promote Talent Pool and highlight the support available through Matrix’s Social Value team. 💼 The team spoke to 18 jobseekers, discussing how Talent Pool could assist in their job search and offering additional help with CV reviews and interview tips. The jobseekers they met were from diverse backgrounds, some seeking admin or care roles, while others were returning to work after a career break. The event showed how Talent Pool could be a valuable tool for a wide range of jobseekers. 🌟 The Social Value team will continue to support those who reach out following the event, providing employability assistance to help them on their career path. It was a fantastic experience for the team, and they look forward to seeing the positive outcomes from the day. 🌟 #JobFair #Employability #CareerSupport
