You may have noticed if you follow us on social media that throughout April we are running a series of Linkedin polls across our individual accounts. Each day every consultant in our business is sharing that days’ question, across a range of topics and we are very appreciative of your support so far!
Why are we doing this you may ask? Well, we are looking to gain further insight as to how the job market, people’s perceptions and aspirations have changed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
As we all know, 2020 challenged us all – whether that be an employer trying to ensure the safety of their employees whilst at the same time keeping the business afloat, or as an employee of said business worrying about job security whilst trying to home school the kids! Now that (hopefully) the worst is behind us, we are starting to think about the future and what impact this turbulent year has had on our career goals and aspirations.
The idea of the polls is for us to gather data that we can analyse and produce a comprehensive report into the current state of recruitment and that we can share with our clients to enable them to make better recruitment choices and positively impact retention.
Topics covered include;
- Attitudes to home working vs returning to the office
- Confidence in the recruitment market
- Interview preferences
- What would make people move roles, and conversely stay in roles
- Benefits packages and relative importance
- Job satisfaction factors
- Hiring preferences
- How you want to work with a recruitment agency
Each poll lasts for 7 days, so in early May, when we have all of the results we will be able to release our findings. With thousands of votes so far, we are confident that the report will make for interesting reading and to request a copy please email amy.watson@eventuslegal.com
