The skills shortage isn\u2019t going anywhere<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tTwo-thirds of business leaders in the UK are worried that they won\u2019t find the skilled recruits they need; while a fifth have lost out on new clients due to a lack of skills in their company. These figures aren\u2019t looking to change any time soon, and if you thought 2021 was a busy recruitment market, expect 2022 to be even busier.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tHow can you set your company apart and attract the best people? <a href=\"http:\/\/mailto:mark.gale@identifiglobal.com\">Contact us for advice.&nbsp;<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>2. Salaries continue to climb<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tThis shouldn\u2019t come as much of a surprise, as current market demand indicates a 10% growth each quarter in median salaries for hard to source talent. It becomes especially relevant when looking at the effects of Brexit, immigration policies, and Covid-19 on candidate pools \u2013 companies are forced to reassess their salary guidelines in order to attract in a limited talent market.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tHow does your salary offering compare? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.identifiglobal.com\/check-your-salary\/\">Use our salary tool to find out.&nbsp;<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>3. Employee wellness takes centre stage<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tThere is a renewed focus on employee well-being, with a need for formal policies and processes that support and protect staff happiness. Companies won\u2019t be able to get away with vague promises anymore, as employees are more attuned to what they demand from the workplace.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>4. Expedited time to hire<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tWe\u2019re seeing companies drastically cut down on the time it takes to hire a new employee \u2013 down to a couple of days or weeks at most. This looks to become the norm, as companies wake up to the fact that they don\u2019t have the luxury of long-winded interview processes.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tOur team is here to assist you in getting the right hires, fast. <a href=\"http:\/\/mailto:mark.gale@identifiglobal.com\">Contact us today.&nbsp;<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>5. Better candidate experiences<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tOn the topic of interview processes, companies are doing more to attract and impress candidates during that early stage of communication. There\u2019s a focus on a more streamlined and respectful onboarding experience, with a clear emphasis on the employer brand and what they have to offer.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tFind out how we empower you to make these changes in our blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.identifiglobal.com\/news\/why-it-s-high-time-we-improved-the-candidate-experience\/40667\/\">here.<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>6. Getting a grip on contractors<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tMaking the right business decisions when it comes to contractors is key. We\u2019re of course talking about IR35, but it\u2019s also an increasingly important factor to consider as companies start looking at more flexible ways of employing.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/app.hubspot.com\/content-detail\/8222568\/landing-page\/55120320007\/performance\">Get a handle on hiring both inside and outside of IR35 with our comprehensive guide.&nbsp;<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>7. Employee retention should be a priority<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tFor all the talk about shortages and talent wars, a strong retention strategy remains crucial. How engaged are your staff today? Realistically speaking, most people are open to new opportunities \u2013 so how do you set your workplace apart?&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>8. Upskilling and training are at the order of the day<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tMany vacancies could be filled internally by providing adequate training \u2013 either in-house through an academy, or outsourced&nbsp; \u2013 to your team. As people spend more time working remotely, the opportunity for virtual training increases, drastically reducing costs and boosting employee morale.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>9. Don\u2019t skimp on your D&amp;I strategy<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tHaving a solid plan in place for Diversity &amp; Inclusion shouldn\u2019t be a new goal for 2022. Companies are expected to have representative, welcoming and inclusive workplaces, with many employees citing this as one of the most important aspects when looking for a job.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tHow do you support neurodiverse employees on their return to an office?

Candidates are done compromising<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tWhether on the topic of salary, flexible working hours, or a demand to work remotely, candidates hold the power in today\u2019s recruitment market. Companies willing to adapt to the times and offer a modern employment experience will ultimately attract and retain the best people.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size: 18px\"><strong>Have you had a look at Contract Complete?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tWe\u2019re giving you access to our full selection of resources with Contract Complete.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n_Lw2qbmhNg&amp;list=PLLxPvNn9fLKzykZfG0QSyGcVcZPmvxcrW\">Watch the four-part e-learning series<\/a>, where we unpack the complexities of IR35 and provide an actionable roadmap to compliance.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tRead our selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.identifiglobal.com\/news.aspx?sortby=latest&amp;categories=2509,2510,2654,2534,2512\">blogs<\/a> and gain in-depth insights into topics ranging from remote interviews and onboarding to the steps you can take to get the most value out of your contractor.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\tLooking for more hands-on assistance?
