Recruiting in a Recession
20th July 2009
With unemployment fast approaching 3 million, the big-picture of recruitment does not look good for many.
However, despite high profile redundancy programmes in the banking and professional services sectors, there is still a short-fall of certain professionals with top quality lawyers, accountants and consultants needed to fill roles across the UK.
Mike Jones of Intrinsic Values explains that it is largely due to a limited skills pool at a national level: "The challenge in these situations is encouraging potential candidates to consider a move in an economic environment which none of us in our current life times have experienced."
"Our approach at Intrinsic Values ensures that we work with clients to devise and implement successful, pinpoint recruitment strategies that maintain some positive momentum. That is where a skilled search consultant, with a background in business, can really help the client."
"Clearly in all business environments, ‘where there's a will, there's a way' and in businesses with a coherent plan of growing and enhancing their potential, the desire to forge ahead with their plans will not be derailed by the fog of recession."
