A great tidbit below from Greg Savage on the state of the recruitment industry at the moment. Most recruiters don't play the long game. They'll walk over dollars to pick up pennies. Highly transactional, a symptom of no skin in the game or pride in what they do. For most, it's just a job to pay the bills...... In a candidate-driven market, they'll take advantage of clients and do the bare minimum to add value whilst commanding premium rates. In an employer-driven market, they'll ghost candidates, won't reply, or take calls, saying, "I don't have enough time." Lots of recruiters with the above mindset are struggling right now, and I couldn't be happier! Quote from Greg below; "The recruitment industry seesaw is a disaster. We can see it right now. Two years ago, we were desperate for candidates, and every recruiter was trained and targeted on candidate care, outbound enquiries to candidates, and looking after every individual. Now we are short of jobs and the pendulum swings to ‘client-love’. Meanwhile, suitable candidates are ignored. Their calls are not returned, interaction is haphazard, and the price for that will be paid when the pendulum swings again. Great recruiters understand that everyone is a candidate all the time, and they build ongoing relationships with candidates long before those people are actually looking to move jobs- because they know they will move jobs at some point. Great recruiters act as agents for the candidate, not simply a referrer of resumes. Great recruiters understand the candidates ‘motivation to accept’ the job. They are outstanding listeners. They dig deep, and they make the right match".

Interviewing remotely? 🤔 It's crucial to discuss WFH arrangements early on in the process. 🏠💻 But when exactly? Let's break it down in 3 key steps: 1️⃣ Initial Screening Calls Right from the start, be transparent about the role's WFH potential. This is your chance to gauge the candidate's home setup suitability and their approach to remote work. Do they have a quiet, dedicated workspace? Reliable internet? It's not about the details of their home office furniture, but ensuring they can work safely and effectively. 2️⃣ During the Interview Phase Dig deeper during the main interviews. This is about health and safety - yours and theirs are equally important regardless of location. Discuss ergonomics, suitable equipment and their understanding of managing work-life boundaries. It's not just about getting the job done, it's about sustainable working conditions. 3️⃣ Final Stages - Pre-Offer Before making an offer, confirm the specifics. Do they need any additional support or equipment to comply with health and safety standards? Remember, fulfilling your duty of care is non-negotiable, even from a distance.

“We now require everyone to be full-time in the office – sorry!” – Your Employer As a Candidate Manager in the Accounting, Finance and Procurement Brisbane market for Troocoo, I will always take time to understand my candidates’ non-negotiables for their next role. When speaking with them recently, I’ve noticed that employers are starting to remove work from home benefits to get staff back into the office. But this has caused candidates to weigh up the benefits and potentially start looking elsewhere. Personally, I love a flexible workplace, especially as someone who currently travels just over an hour to get into the office. It means when working from home, I get the ability to commit more time to my work if needed rather than spending time on public transport, pop a quick wash in the machine or get that extra hour of sleep which in some cases is most definitely needed to perform at my best. On the other hand, I also see many benefits of working in the office, such as being able to collaborate with my colleagues, better ability to “switch off” after work and higher quality professional development. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞?  For myself, I would consider working five days in the office for a role that didn’t require more than 30 minutes of travel one way, because less travel time means I have more time to unwind and relax, an opportunity to pop to the gym, maybe even take my dog out to the park rather than for a walk. All of these benefits, and I don’t have kids – kudos to the mum’s and dad’s out there who balance it all!

2024 is a fascinating year for the job market.   Organisations are facing major transformative challenges through digitisation and AI impacting their traditional view of workforce models. It is an election year which makes companies sit back and ponder a little more, in turn affecting their willingness to invest. There could be some big changes in workers rights coming down the line which need to be considered by organisations, as does the ongoing shortage of skilled workers and lack of diversity in the workplaces. Employee retention and recruitment will continue to be the biggest challenges highlighting the importance of keeping talent engaged.  Mental health and wellbeing will be key priorities for candidates as well as of course hybrid and flexible working arrangements.  All of this underscores the necessity for organisations to think carefully and plan strategically in a challenging job market. #ChangeManagement #BusinessTransformation #LeadershipSkills #Malikshaw #InterimManagement #Contractors #ExecutiveFunctions #Strategies #ManagementConsulting

🌞Reflecting on My Time Away 🌞 This break was unlike any other – it wasn't just about relaxing on a beach or exploring new places. It was about confronting some deep-seated doubts and rediscovering my sense of purpose. You see, if you know me personally, you'll know that I've never been one to admit when I need a break or when I'm feeling overwhelmed. But this time, I had to acknowledge that I was struggling. I've dedicated nearly a decade to my job, pouring my heart and soul into every decision, every project. But recently, I found myself consumed by self-doubt. Was I good enough? Could I continue to excel in my role? These questions weighed heavily on my mind, casting a shadow over every aspect of my work. I questioned every decision, second-guessed every move. But stepping away from the daily grind allowed me the space to breathe, to reflect, and to confront those doubts head-on. And you know what? It was exactly what I needed. I came to realise that self-doubt is a natural part of growth – it's a sign that we're pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones, striving for excellence. So, as I return to the office, I do so with a renewed sense of confidence and purpose. I may not have all the answers, and that's okay. What matters is that I'm willing to embrace the journey, to learn from my mistakes, and to continue growing – both personally and professionally. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way, especially during those moments of doubt. Your encouragement and belief in me means more than you'll ever know. Here's to the next chapter, filled with challenges, growth, and endless possibilities. 🌟 #PersonalGrowth #RenewedPurpose #BackInTheOffice #Selfdoubt
