As an experienced #finance recruiter in the Home Counties, we’re a big fan of the region. We know that it has always, and continues to, offer great opportunities for both employers and job seekers alike. For those who seek a compelling alternative to London, the counties of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire offer flexibility, regional growth, and a more balanced, fulfilling professional life. In this blog, Liz Hawkins outlines 7️⃣ key factors which make the Home Counties a fantastic alternative to London for both employers and job seekers. 👉 https://lnkd.in/edHpaiMk #FinanceRecruitment #NorthernHomeCounties #WorkLifeBalance

ATTENTION!! 💯💯💯Big changes are coming for job seekers in Ontario🫡🫡🫡🙏🙏 New legislation, prompted by a Toronto Star investigation into 'ghost jobs,' will soon require employers to be more transparent in their hiring practices. Under the upcoming rules, larger companies must clarify in job postings whether the position is currently available or for future openings. Moreover, they'll be obligated to provide feedback to interviewed candidates, marking a significant shift in Canadian hiring norms 💯💯🙏 It’s about time!!!! #hiring #transparency

📢 Ontario Goverment Targets Employers Posting Non-Existent Jobs 📢 The Ontario government is planning to propose changes to the Employment Standards Act (ESA) that could significantly impact job advertising practices. If passed, larger employers will be required to disclose whether a job vacancy actually exists in their publicly advertised job postings.

A step in the right direction for the job search process in Canada.

EMPLOYERS: Did you know when you post your job on #OhioMeansJobs with #OttawaCounty, it goes beyond reaching job seekers solely in Ottawa County? Those searching on the state site can filter job listings by their location and the radius they are looking to travel for work. For instance, if someone inputs their home zip code and looks within a 20-mile radius, they may come across your job posting even if they are in a different county. This means your job has the potential to reach qualified candidates beyond Ottawa County and attract talent from various parts of the state without having to utilize multiple OhioMeansJobs offices. #ReachBeyondOurBorders #DidYouKnow

In Ontario, the average number of applicants per job posting has been rising significantly. As of early 2024, the average number of applicants per hire was about 72, which is a 46% increase compared to two years ago. This surge is influenced by the prominence of job boards and social media as key channels for applications. However, referrals and in-house recruiters tend to yield fewer, but often more qualified, applicants . This trend reflects a more competitive job market, with many applicants vying for each open position across various industries.

Most states have #job openings that are still outpacing the number of job seekers, indicating that employment conditions are broadly healthy. #Florida has the most job openings at nearly half a million where openings outpace job seekers at 1.4 openings/job seeker. The states where job openings are outpacing job seekers by 2:1 are #Virginia, #NorthDakota, #SouthDakota, #Vermont, and #Mississippi. However, most are small states, with less than 20,000 job openings, except Virginia at 273,000 though that is about half the size of Florida. Six states -- #California, #NewYork, #Illinois, #Washington, #Nevada, and #RhodeIsland -- have fewer job openings than job seekers. While #California has the most job openings as of the end of July 2024 with 622,000 openings, these just provide 60% jobs to the 1 million unemployed in the state , or a 0.61 job openings/unemployed ratio. In #New York, there were 405,000 job openings, or 90% of the number of unemployed. What does this mean for the real estate market? The lack of job opportunities relative to job seekers will be one driver that will sustain #outmigration from states like California, New York, and Illinois to states where jobs are plentiful relative to job seekers like #Florida, #Virginia, #Georgia, #NorthCarolina, #SouthCarolina, #Pennsylvania, #Massachusetts, and #Arizona.

Its now a minimum of £5 a day (obviously the more you spend the more views you get) meaning that the cost for a business looking to expand just went up 🆙↖️ and its not coming back! The cost of this is huge, from the salary of the person managing the ads, to the £5,£10,£15 a day on fees for a job board and all of this without a guaranteed positive result at the end 😭💸😭💸 So what can you do? How can you make these costs more realistic for a small business and guarantee a positive solution. Novo can help make that happen. We don't take a fee till you have the desired results. No costs until a new member of staff is on site ready to take your business to the next level. We manage the job board and the cost of that.
