Recruiting: What The Best Companies Do That Others Don't

Nicole is away this week, and Catherine and Terri are feeling the effects of having been away (read: a ton of extra work). So this week, we're talking, complaining and obsessing about jobs and work by revisiting, and updating, some past discussions on that topic. Today, we hop way back to 2018's "Career Check-In" and then check back in on how the work world is treating us today.

Life Updated: The World of Work

Guest speaker:
•	Mark Thompson, Group Head of Sales, Sonovate

As we navigate ongoing skills shortages and a cost-of-living crisis, how can you ensure your business stays attractive to top talent and clients? Gone are the days where the option of work from home was seen as a "perk". So what does it take to entice highly skilled workers and remain competitive? We spoke to Mark Thompson of Sonovate on the revelations in their latest Future World of Work report 2023 . 

"Flexibility “was a recurring theme and the report uncovers what this could means for businesses, clients and candidates including:
•	64 % of respondents believe flexible working can alleviate the cost-of-living burden on their people
•	67% of businesses believe flexibility is crucial when it comes to competing for the most sought-after skills.

Hear Mark and Neil discuss the key takeaways from the report and answer some thought-provoking questions - questions you should be thinking about as you plan your workforce needs for 2023 and beyond:

•	The market has suffered from a shortage in skills for years. Can flexibility be the answer to plugging this talent gap?
•	What does flexible working and contract working mean for the recruitment industry?
•	What works in flexible companies and what doesn’t?
•	Is the cost of living making freelance working more appealing?
•	Technology has enabled a transformation in work practices, from remote working to flexible schedules. What will technology's role be as this evolution continues, and how can it create greater flexibility that works for companies and their people?
