I heard a rather nice little saying the other day. It was ‘A good job pays you twice, once in money and once in lifestyle’. I like how that so neatly sums up the attraction of benefits for new employees. Not all candidates are driven by salary; in fact, just the opposite. There is a…
Read MoreThere is a real value in performing a salary survey. With the current candidate shortage, it is doubly important that you make sure any salary offer you are making is, at the minimum, at a level where it will attract candidates to investigate the role further. So, with that in mind, we thought it would…
Read MoreThe default position for UK professionals has traditionally been to head south to the capital. The streets of London were paved with gold, apparently. That may no longer be the case, though. In fact, to be blunt, not only is London not the career destination it once was, but it is also slipping behind its…
Read MoreIt’s few short months since we were concerned that there would be a mass unemployment problem because of the pandemic, and we would be inundated with candidates. Well, not only has that not happened, but the opposite is currently the case. Maybe that will change, and perhaps the can has just been kicked down the…

Read MoreThe tension and expectation surrounding the budget this year was high. It is probably fair to say that it was in the running for the most important announcement for businesses for a long time and certainly the most unusual one for decades. Now the smoke has cleared, it is a good time for a quick…
Read MoreOne of the biggest changes to our working practices for many years has been the sudden shift to working from home. Thanks to lockdown, it is now so common that it is almost an expectation, and the abbreviation WFH has slipped into regular use. It’s wrong to simply put this down to Covid, though. Pre-lockdown…
Read MoreAt the risk of stating the obvious, lockdown has had a huge impact on recruitment. I am sure there no need to discuss the big picture on this again. Through most of 2020, we rolled with the punches and learned to adapt to the new circumstances. Covid policy is now a common term, and employers…
