Securing the top talent is tough but having a good employer brand could bring the perfect candidate directly to your door.
The recruitment market is saturated with companies looking to fill positions and people hunting for more than just a nine to five. Securing the top talent is tough but having a good employer brand could bring the perfect candidate directly to your door.
As the economic landscape becomes more challenging, attracting and retaining top talent is only getting harder. With rising living costs and inflation, many candidates are cautious about making career moves, particularly if they feel secure and settled with their current employer.
For firms looking to fill specific roles, this uncertainty will require them to work hard to find, engage and retain the true talent they need. The talent pool needs to be larger than it has been before and requires a more proactive approach – taking the role to a candidate as opposed to just posting a job ad and sifting through CVs.
Organisations are being forced to question what they are willing to offer and whether their recruitment process is focused on the long-term growth of the business or just about filling a position. There is a vast amount of choice and competition for individuals, so companies need to think more strategically about recruitment to stand out in the crowd. Most organisations don’t have access to an in-house recruitment specialist and instead rely heavily on job boards, LinkedIn, or external recruiters.
While these channels can help, they often don’t deliver the depth or quality of candidates' businesses truly need. That’s where Talentheads comes in. We integrate seamlessly into your business, taking full responsibility for recruitment strategy and delivery while authentically representing your brand. More than just support, we become your dedicated recruitment function, fully aligned with your values and long-term vision.
It is far more than just firing over CVs. The Talentheads business model is not about volume, it focuses instead on partnering with firms with similar values and mindsets that are looking to grow through long-term recruitment strategies and processes.
There is also no traditional placement fee. As internal recruiters, Talentheads complements a business with experience and exposure to challenges and insight, from employer branding and talent mapping to attraction strategies and recruitment initiatives.
Business people looking to secure the right people with the right knowledge need to ask themselves what it is they want to stand for in the employment market and whether their approach to recruitment is more of a longer-term strategy rather than simply getting bums on seats.
Recruitment is all about looking after the current team within a business first and then building on those strong and clear foundations. It takes time and capacity to increase the exposure of an ’employer brand’, but this will pay dividends by generating interest among those people that aren’t actively job hunting.
