Ask any recruitment firm what their biggest barrier to growth is and you can bet your bottom dollar the answer will be increasing and retaining headcount. In fact according to the APSCo/Deloitte Recruitment Index, 59% of recruitment firms surveyed highlighted accessing the right talent to cope with growth as their number one
challenge. And while recruitment firms are experts in hiring talent for their clients, they are historically less successful at recruiting for themselves.
The findings presented here are the results of a think tank which brought together a number of senior managers and directors responsible for marketing, internal recruitment and the employer brand to discuss the challenges of developing that all important employee value proposition.
