It’s December already! As another year draws to a close, we’d like to start this month by saying thank you to all our clients and wishing you a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.

- Magazine subscriptions
- Multi discount platforms

Candidates want:
- Elevated Pension contributions

What to do for the new year:
There are three things for you to start your 2023 recruitment plans.
Assess wellbeing policies (mental health, menopause, equality, diversity etc.)
Make sure staff are paid at market rate and feel valued
Evaluate predictions, growth and contingency plans to establish needs and create a target plan

Jo’s TOP TIPS
Recruit outside the box!
If you have a role to fill, it’s easy to think of finding a carbon copy of yourself. However, our clients have had great success either recruiting outside of their industry, recruiting a young person with no experience or an ex service/care professional.
So why take a chance?
- Gain a fresh perspective on your industry
- Graduates quick with tech
- Focussed on future development not only for themselves but your business
