Attrition or talent attraction what will your focus be in 2022?

It’s no surprise that, for many, keeping hold of their employees and focusing on employee retention is becoming a number one priority. However, in 2022, as the race for tech talent tightens and there are consequently more opportunities, attrition will be just as big of an issue as the skills gap. As a result, there will be more temptation for employees to leave, and if your company hasn’t addressed any problems, that could be motivation to push them out of the door. Employee retention will become almost as important to your people strategy as attracting candidates because businesses will need to hold onto their people if they ever wish to grow. Otherwise, you’re stuck in a continuous recruitment cycle.

Planning To Hire In 2022? Start Putting the Wheels In Motion Now

It may seem a little early to start thinking about 2022, but the reality is, it will be here before we know it. Business leaders are beginning to put plans in place for the new year, whether assessing budgets or preparing new strategies for success. It’s a great time to evaluate what’s working and what needs to change so that you can prepare for a change in the new year.

And, with the dust finally beginning to settle on a few years of uncertainty, it’s becoming clear that now is the ideal time to adjust tactics and refine your business approach across all areas. So why should your recruitment strategy be any different? Here are some reasons why you should start putting the wheels in motion now so that your recruitment strategy is ready for 2022.

The Fake CV Scandal: Are Big Tech Names Screening Candidates Properly?

Failing to screen CVs properly will waste everyone’s time. If recruiters let fake CVs like this one slip through the net and reach further stages of the recruitment process, the likelihood is they’ll have to start again once the truth comes out. Restarting the recruitment process is costly and time-consuming, plus there’s a chance you could lose out on talented candidates that have already been rejected the first time around. In a candidate-driven market, these skilled people will likely have been snapped up by the competition. Recruitment teams will double their work, and the role will take longer to hire, which could cause productivity problems later down the line.

Tech recruitment tips for bringing the best STEM talent to your startup

Today is National STEM Day, a day that celebrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics. As we all know, the demand for STEM talent is high. Graduates from these subjects get swept up incredibly quickly, but more and more employers are realising the value in their skills, creating a huge skills gap. With big-name tech companies having the advantage of reputation when it comes to STEM talent attraction, startups are often left behind even though they have so much to offer.
The demand for technical talent like data scientists, engineers and more is not expected to slow down any time soon. This means startups in particular need to work hard if they wish to attract the STEM talent they need to grow their business and meet the demand for their products and services. Growth cannot be put on hold, and talent is required for business success.

Therefore, it’s understandable that these businesses, where possible, would like to take time when it comes to hiring, including multiple interviews, tasks and time to decide with the wider team. However, in a highly competitive, candidate-driven market, time is a luxury few employers can afford.

Turning up the volume: it’s time to get bold and loud with Employer Branding

It would be stupid to say they aren’t if they wish to attract new talent. Plus, a lot of benefits like flexible working are now taken as standard.

Therefore, when it comes to communicating employer brands, companies who wish to attract the best talent will have to think outside of the box, tailor their messaging to resonate with the right talent and get loud with the aspects that make them unique.
