If you have attracted, retained, and developed the right people for your team, smart businesses will now be focused on innovating, diversifying, and even scaling.

The good news is, the talent pool couldn’t be more full of opportunity or look more diverse. This is both exciting and challenging as we enter a new era of how we look at hiring. I think it’s a positive step in a new direction!

A lot of the time Candidates are now looking to cross-train in other departments or industries, forced to think outside the box, new faces are bringing fresh blood and new ideas to teams that are dynamic enough to grow with the times and take some exiting risks that will really shake up business and what it offers.

Businesses are looking to invest in people and culture more than ever, and really deliver on their learning and development programs, talent pipelines, and provide real career pathway opportunities.

It’s an exciting time with a lot of opportunities for both Businesses and Candidates, but you can’t be complacent, both sides are looking for high performers, so you MUST put in the effort. This applies to any industry, flicking across a resume with no explanation of who you are, what you are looking for, and what value you can provide the business will never get you in the door when 400+ other people are also applying and some of them are pulling out all the stops to get noticed.

What are you doing to get noticed?
