Earlier this week I had a really great guest with so much to share on RecruiterZone. The main topic was how to attract and retain talent in a candidate short market and Jason Medcalf from People Group Services managed to answer about a dozen questions from me in just 30 minutes! Some of the things I asked him included:
- What attraction and retention challenges are we facing? Just how bad is it?
- What has caused this issue?
- Just how bad is the labour & skills shortage? And what does it mean for recruiters?
- Is the labour and skills shortage going to get better or worse?
- Where have we seen the impact of the labour & skills shortage?
- What is being done at a strategic level to resolve the labour and skills shortage?
- What is within my control as a recruiter to mitigate the impacts of labour and skills shortage?
- What more can recruiters do?
- What is People Group doing to help agencies with these challenges?
I had a great time talking with Jason, and you can watch the whole conversation right here:
