Attracting and Retaining Gems
If you have tried to recruit recently and found it tough going, you’re not alone. Recruiters and hiring managers are noticing a candidate shortage. Whilst there seems to be many roles to fill within organisations due to growth, restructure, or staff resignation, it’s increasingly difficult to find the talent to fill them.
The Art of The Exit Interview
When an employee decides to leave their workplace, most times there is a handshake, ‘thanks for your efforts and best of luck’. Perhaps (pre Covid) a farewell lunch or company assembly. One of the more important aspects for both the employer and employee, and one that if it is done, is usually poorly done, is to undertake an exit interview.
Recruitment.... has it bounced back?
Despite the ups, downs and lockdowns, we are encouraged by the level of enquiries we receive about engaging us to lead recruitment assignments in the ‘for purpose’ sector. We note a higher demand than this time last year for leadership roles, particularly across fundraising and marketing. Does this mean recruitment has bounced back or some balance is returned?

How to find new opportunities in the NFP Sector
If you’re looking for opportunities in the ‘for purpose’ sector, there are many great websites for job-seekers that wish to make a difference and contribution towards social impacts or causes close to their heart.
Many jobs don’t get advertised and it is predicted that over 50% of opportunities are appointed without advertising, directly via the hidden job market. So it’s definitely advised to go beyond traditional and advertised job-search options and leverage your network.
