Event: Struggling to Recruit? – How to make your business stand out

Since the pandemic and with low unemployment rates in the eastern region, businesses of all types are having trouble hiring. In this candidate-driven market and with job seekers undertaking their own research into prospective employers as part of their diligence, the war on talent is at its most fierce for decades. Companies are having to work much harder to attract and secure the talent they need.  Where do you start? During this workshop, we will be exploring ways in which you can make your business stand out from the rest, to secure the talent needed to take your business to the next level and ensure your ongoing success.  We will reveal how your employer branding affects your business and will share practical tips for building your reputation as an employment destination.
