Haven't you heard why it is near on impossible sourcing exceptional talent...
By now you more than likely have read that there is a global skills shortage. If you haven't, where have you been!
Coming to grips with a pandemic, as we have all found...sorry, as most of us have found, has been manifestly very difficult. Apart from how we are managing our professional lives, simply navigating the daily routine has been fraught with all types of difficulties. Wearing masks, constantly washing hands, maintaining safe distances, not getting into lifts with other people, and the list just goes on and on! Funny enough is the current challenge voiced around the corridors of most depleted workplaces, and that is "When will I be able to get an appointment for my jab before the stampede occurs?" Nothing quite like an outbreak of covid in your home town to get the heart rate beating slightly faster! Predictably the covid laggards are now screeching out to get vaccinated.
All jokes aside, the ability to source people in the jobs market has been impacted remarkably. You have probably seen in the news that the jobs boards have never had more vacancies advertised. Recruiters are flat out, well the good ones are, but finding people to fit the job brief has become far more strategic, requiring far more patience, and insisting on a degree of flexibility. Whether you like it or not, finding the "perfect" candidate no longer exists. The jobs market has changed during the last 12 months or so. The demand for skill sets has evolved, with the jobs of yesterday dissimilar to those of today. The jobs market has also evolved with lightening speed because there are new industries that appear to have sprung up over night. These companies are embarking on different challenges, people are being required to do different things that they were never employed to do before. So not only do we have a skills shortage but we also have an environment characterised by skills-gaps, but that is another story.
So how are we supposed to tap into that rich vein of talent that the competition has not woken up to yet?
Well, you be smart, strategic and employ new-age technologies that are specifically designed to do just this! Tap into talent that traditional recruitment practices have not! Today, most organisations are bogged in the tried and true methodologies of the past that just don't deliver any more. Many companies are trapped for instance in preferred supplier arrangements (Psa's)that have taken an inordinate amount of time to institute and will take light years to unravel. For the most part there are question marks all over how effective these formal arrangements have been in delivering "relevant" human capital!
There are now effective new-age solutions available to hiring organisations that can put hiring managers and senior executives at the foot of talent quickly and effectively, mitigating much of the recruitment industry white noise. At Ubidy we have developed a world's first talent acquisition solution that connects the hiring organisation to specific talent in real-time through a transformational cloud based platform. Gone is the time consuming, wasteful inhouse recruitment processes of yesterday, but a solution that allows a single point of contact with talent scouts on a local, regional or global basis. This is all contained within a solution that sits over one or an entire talent acquisition team. Obtaining shortlists swiftly is key in this talent short market. If you are not speaking to potential hires quickly, someone else will be! Ubidy puts you in front of your competitors, today!
