How to recruit in a candidate short market

As we approach 2022 recruiting is tougher than ever for businesses who are looking to hire top talent ready for the New Year. Businesses are getting next to no applications for roles and are struggling to attract the right quality of candidate for their roles. They thought there would be an influx of candidates being made redundant, but they are nowhere to be seen.

Given the pandemic who can blame people, we all want a bit of normality again and now everyone is talking about the “C” word already you can’t help but understand why people may be thinking they’ll just wait till next year.

How to protect the mental health of your employees following Covid-19

Regardless of job role, we’ve all been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Whether it’s meant being partly or fully furloughed, or picking up the work of furloughed colleagues; learning a new way of working from home; juggling employment with closed childcare settings; or being required to undertake Covid-safety work practices; no one, whatever they do, has been immune from a change to how, where or what they do at work.

Because of this, a priority for employers as we come out of the pandemic and return to a ‘new normal’ must be the protection of their employees’ mental health.

Indeed, evidence shows some 12.7% of days off due to sickness in the UK were down to mental health illness. So alongside the moral factor in supporting staff mental health, there’s also a case for it being good for business too.
