CAN YOUR BUSINESS AFFORD TO WAIT ANY LONGER BEFORE BUILDING YOUR TEAM?

THE WAITING GAME...

Many businesses have decided to wait before making their next hire. After all, there’s plenty of things to wait for: we have to wait for the effect of Brexit to settle down, economic recovery from lockdown, a fuller vaccine roll-out, the ‘new normal’ to establish itself, a return to the office for staff, news on new Covid strains, remote onboarding process adjustment, absenteeism to reduce... that’s quite the list of things to wait on!

The truth is, many businesses are deciding that now is the best time to hire, for their business objectives and for their recovery strategy. The Recruitment and Employment Confederation recently highlighted the encouraging employment statistics from December 2020, “The latest Jobs Recovery Tracker reveals that in December 2020 there were 1.77 million active job adverts in the UK, around 10.5% more than in December 2019”( 1 ).

We are also seeing a range of industries that are continuing to rapidly expand despite the current economic environment. Employment sectors such as e-commerce, construction, finance, marketing and customer service are all seeing significant growth(2) and are pushing forward with their hiring plans.

We are also continuing to place numerous candidates across Kent and the South East. Our website shows the vacancies we are currently hiring for and the testimonials from those candidates we have placed.
