What is your biggest challenge in your current role?
The biggest challenge right now is something shared across the recruitment community: tech layoffs. There are many specialized candidates we're working with, but not enough open positions.
We've tailored our approach and candidate experience. Because we're a people-driven environment, we're working with these candidates now to ensure they can best represent themselves in the marketplace.
This is whether it's for an opportunity we can present to them, or if they choose to apply directly to another company. We offer CV reviews, CV writing, and help ensure their LinkedIn profiles are fully formed.
This helps them represent themselves in the best possible way. We also act as a sounding board, providing advice and answering questions as they navigate the market.
