Smaller candidate pools mean you need to think creatively

January is a famously busy time in the world of recruitment. We often see a spike in people who are looking to change roles or sectors for the new year ahead. However, this year has been somewhat different. We know that the businesses we work with have vacancies that they want to fill with the right people, but those people aren’t coming forwards as readily as before.

Office vector created by stories - www.freepik.comDue to the pandemic and uncertainty, we are seeing that many candidates who would usually be looking to move jobs are staying put. The temptation to leave for a new chapter is still there, but the concern about doing so is strong. However, if the right job came along, advertised and pitched in the right way, we know that some of our strong candidates would flourish in a new role.

The question is, how do you attract them? How do you sell your role into somebody who is full of trepidation about moving jobs or anxious about being disloyal to their employer?
