When it comes to Recruitment, the difference between a good hire and a great one comes down to judgment. Here is what Big Wave Digital sees in the Recruitment market, and what it means for your team.
From the demand we are having with current clients, there is a big call for amazing candidates in data analytics and insights, web analytics, search specialists (SEM & SEO), digital strategists, iOS Developers, .Net and Full Stack Developers.
This demand is prevalent across Australia and New Zealand.
What this means for employers? Firstly it’s important to partner with a well-resourced recruitment partner (aka Big Wave Digital); you really need an industry specialist who can tap into a passive pool of candidates as these candidates won’t be looking for you, they need to be sourced.
It’s up to you as a prospective employer to give an insightful job briefing to your recruitment partner, so as to best “sell” your vacancy amongst the myriad of similar roles in the market. * Big Wave Digital can provide you with tools to assist in building a standout job description if required.
From there, its time to engage! Think about why you work at your business, what you love about the company and why you’ve stayed with the business – these are selling points to attract potential candidates. In addition, does your company offer any cool benefits like: Car parking, flexible work from home options, membership subsidies, on-site barista and free coffee, team sports or group personal training sessions. The list goes on. But it’s sometimes the things you may take for granted that others will love and happily jump ship for.
Interviews of course centre around what a candidate can bring to your company, but these days it’s just as important about what a company can bring to a candidate. So really think about that in your next interview, so that you are seen as an employer of choice.
