Hiring the right people is harder than ever.

Imagine this: It's Monday morning. Your top employee just handed in their notice. Two critical positions remain unfilled after months of searching. And your remaining team is stretched to breaking point covering the gaps.
What would another six months of this situation cost your business?
Businesses across the country are struggling with the same challenge: unfilled roles, high turnover, and a constant skills gap. It's frustrating, costly, and slows everything down.
But what if the talent you need was already being trained specifically for your industry?
The government just announced an expansion of Sector-Based Work Academy Programmes (SWAPs) offering 100,000 work-ready candidates trained for roles in high-demand sectors like hospitality, care, and construction.
Here's why this matters to businesses like yours:
?? Candidates get tailored training + real work experience in your specific industry needs
?? You skip the hiring headache placements come with guaranteed interviews with pre-screened candidates
?? Your business fills vacancies faster, with motivated, job-ready hires who understand your sector
And the numbers speak for themselves: Government data shows SWAP participants earn ￡1,400 more annually, remain in positions 37% longer than traditional hires, and help businesses reduce recruitment costs by up to 25%.
I love seeing initiatives that actually bridge the gap between job seekers and businesses.
If you're hiring in 2025, would you consider tapping into this talent pool?
