How many frogs do I need to kiss before I find my prince?

 
With the employment market showing steady and continuous growth over the past 12 months, I am hearing the age-old question from my clients, “How many frogs do I need to kiss before I find my prince?” – So to speak.
 
The answer is you need to KISS everyone!
 
Yes, that’s right you must TALK to ALL applicants, more particularly when the applications are your only source of candidates!
 
The market is shifting to a candidate driven environment, that means low applicant volumes, so now more than ever you can’t afford to MISS anyone. Understanding the person BEHIND the CV is paramount – their attributes, drivers and values, not just their skills. Gaining this understanding gives you valuable insights on how they will align with your business, team and meet the criteria of the role.
 
Another complexity worth noting is that professionals are moving FAST, getting snapped up by employers faster than ever. The luxury of time to identify applicant’s key motivators is non-existent. The chance to uncover how that applicant will align with the business’s culture, and in-turn provide long term staff retention can be overlooked in the haste to secure them.
 
This is where engaging with recruitment partner can help. Using an employment market expert ensures all frogs are KISSED, your time is saved and your retention rates are protected! In this market, this is the way for you to get the right person for the job – YOUR PRINCE (or princess)!
