Tech Journal The War for Talent

Why we need to change the way we hire.

For decades, organisations have been trying to win the “hiring game” – finding the right people for their organisation. This is by no means an easy feat, as it requires not only finding candidates with the right skills and capabilities to perform the job, but also the right attitude and mindset to develop further and reach their potential. It has been argued that in the current climate, organisations need just as much luck as competent recruiters and recruitment strategies in order to find that ‘perfect candidate’. However, I’m of the view that what businesses have previously defined at the ‘right hire’ has adapted and changed, as have the expectations of candidates, who now have different priorities when it comes to selecting their ‘ideal’ next role.
