I was recently asked to give my say on advice for hiring managers recruiting for talent in the current market (see slide 3 👉) Culture & employee wellbeing have been 2 of the biggest talking points in HR & in turn through CIPD articles/seminars 💡 Hopefully you find the below useful 👍

New roles

#talentcommunity We've seen 4 people land jobs in the past 10 days. It dawned on me we could probably help a few more from the community if they knew which jobs we were actively working on... If there is interest from the community, we have the potential to set up a functional / private job board that would allow you to see all of our active roles and then to apply directly for interview. Note: the way we run the board / backlog is that if they are not active, they aren't posted. Imagine a job board built with transparency and collaboration in mind... Do you want access to a list of active jobs such as: (if so please drop a comment with your email) #Management - Chief of Staff - Controller - Director FP&A - Director IT - Director Medical Staff Services - Director of Payroll - Director Retail Marketing - Head of Product - Maintenance Manager - Plant Manager - Regional Sales Director - Retail Store Manager - Safety Manager - Strategic Director of Healthcare Marketing #Product & Marketing - Associate Product Development Manager - Category Marketing Planning Manager - Executive Designer - Product Manager #Engineering & IT - Data Engineer - Electrical Engineer - Endpoint Engineer - Collaboration Tool Specialist - Executive Support Engineer - Golang Engineer - IT Engineer - IT Systems Engineer - Process Innovation and Technology Engineer - Software Packaging - Tech Lead (ML Expert) #Finance & Accounting - Accounting Manager - Payroll Specialist - Senior Fund Accountant #Healthcare - Hospital Inpatient Coding Specialist - Mental Health Professional III - Patient Access Manager - Regional VP Oncology Services - Traveling Nurse - Per Diem Nurse #Human Resources - HR Generalist #Sales - Business Development Manager - Technical Account Manager

With the rapid pace of technology evolution, companies cannot rely solely on degree-based hiring. They need professionals with the right skills, domain expertise, and the ability to adapt – degree or no degree, does not matter. This is the essence of skills-based hiring, a trend that is being increasingly embraced. But at Wissen, this approach has been ingrained in our culture from the very beginning. We have always given priority to skills, aptitude, and attitude over degrees. This is true not just in hiring but also in nurturing our existing talent. That’s why we have examples of an office boy becoming an IT admin, a receptionist transitioning into the role of a technologist, and an admin assistant climbing up the ladder to manage end-to-end invoicing. We have many stories like this. Our inclusive workplace and agile leadership teams ensure that competencies trump credentials. The Wissen culture supports experimentation, failures, and ownership. If you have the zest to try something new and are committed to delivering your best, you will get all the support you need to succeed. I truly believe that this is the only way to keep innovating and staying relevant. #SkillBasedHiring #Competencies #LifeAtWissen

The Office & Admin industry is shifting rapidly, with over 2 million jobs lost between 2016 and 2021. But change brings opportunity for those ready to adapt. Here's how to stay ahead: 1️⃣ Embrace tech skills Master data analysis, project management software, and automation tools. As routine tasks become automated, your ability to leverage technology becomes your superpower. 2️⃣ Develop strategic thinking Focus on problem-solving and decision-making to become indispensable. Today's businesses need admin professionals who can analyze situations, propose solutions, and drive efficiency. 3️⃣ Cultivate adaptability Be open to new responsibilities and cross-functional roles. The most valuable team members are those who can flex between departments, bridging gaps and streamlining operations. Remember, your experience is an asset. Combine it with these forward-thinking skills, and you'll not just survive the shift—you'll lead it. How are you approaching this inevitable change?
