If your agency is posting adverts starting with "my client" you're not getting the best candidates. We've been guilty of it in the past. But in this market, your agency needs to be an extension of you, and that means switching up how you partner with external suppliers to make sure they're representing you in the best way. #EngagingTalent #HiringinTech #TechJobs #BeBetter

Are you looking to hire in the new year? 👀   Have you got your adverts prepped and ready to go?   If not, you will be at a massive disadvantage!   But why, you might be asking?   Well, not many people know this…   But the best time to post your adverts for the new year is in between Christmas and the New Year 👍   That time in between when you don’t know what day it is…   And are stuffed with mince pies 🥧   Is the perfect time!   So, if you haven’t already   Get this done pronto…   To get ahead of the game! 😉   #Adverts #Recruitment #FreshPerspective

They say Recruitment ages you. And look, it’s probably too early for me to qualify that observation with an answer… But what I will say is, when I was down the pub last night with the lads, my darts game wasn’t as strong as it used to be when I was an active Marketer. Coincidence? 🎯 Marketing Mix Recruitment - The Marketer who became a Recruiter. #marketing #marketingrecruitment

Are your job adverts turning away the talent you desire? 🧐 Uncover a fresh approach to engaging the right candidates... Let's dive into the art of crafting adverts that don't just attract candidates, but captivate the 🌟right talent. Imagine an advert that speaks directly to the aspirations and values of your ideal candidate. It's not just about listing requirements and responsibilities. It's about storytelling📚, creating a vision of what could be. Start with the why❓ Why does this role exist? How does it impact the bigger picture? This approach shifts the focus from seeking applicants who can simply 'do the job' to attracting individuals who are passionate about contributing to something greater🌈. Language matters. Ditch the jargon and corporate speak. Use inclusive language that welcomes diversity in thought, background, and experience. Remember, you're not just hiring skills; you're inviting a whole person to join your journey👫. Transparency is key🔑. Be clear about what you offer and what you expect. This builds trust from the get-go. Mention the growth opportunities, the culture, the challenges, and yes, even the perks. Let them know what it's truly like to be part of your team. Now, over to you.👈

We’ve all seen your job adverts. You operate in a fast-paced environment. Every day is different. You’re a team of forward-thinkers, innovators, and go-getters who are passionate about what you do.   But where is all of that passion and innovation when it comes to engaging your teams for ideas to improve? Is it fine for months to go by without a single team insight or action being created? Is that long, lengthy, traditional survey the correct response to that fast-paced, every changing environment of yours?   OF COURSE NOT!   It's long past time to break the mould and bring all of the same dynamism and creativity to your approach for fostering engagement within your teams.   That means faster, targeted and timely insights from teams. Then results that don’t go into a black hole, but are shared, owned and actioned by teams.   We call it team engagement and it’s proven to create real ROI.

When it comes to advertising job roles, is it better to include or exclude super? This is a question that has been debated for some time. While some argue that including super can be misleading, others believe that it is more appropriate to advertise the role as a package. What do you think?
