Locating outstanding talent is crucial in a highly volatile and dynamic employment environment. And it’s getting pretty hard to win that game these days.
Following the “Great Resignation,” hundreds of businesses suffer from a dearth of applicants and protracted growth plans. While there is a need to encourage expansion, finding the personnel to maintain and oversee it is becoming more challenging.
Where Are the Applicants?
The unemployment rate is almost back to pre-pandemic levels, and the demand for new personnel has increased due to the expansion of the professional services sector in recent years. Because of this, the best candidates now have tremendous negotiating power when pursuing new positions or even whole careers. Because the top candidates have their choice of exciting possibilities, businesses in Boise and elsewhere find it difficult to attract them.
In actuality, neither because they are all sitting at home nor because they are happy in their current positions has the candidate market dried up. Candidates have grown more scarce for no other reason than the increased demand.
Are There Still Any Unexplored Markets?
Over the past few years, countless experts have moved as more industries adopt a remote employment model. Due to this trend, the field for locating exceptional talent has expanded. Executive search businesses are no longer limited to local searches in a labour market that comprises geographically scattered teams (some even international).
But this just serves to further confuse the professional labour shortage. Is the market fully saturated if applicants can be found almost anywhere and perform their job duties from almost anywhere? A valid query. Not exactly, is the response.
Increase Visibility and Identify Elite Talent
Employers in the Boise area may be trembling with fear given the labour market status as described above. Despite the skills shortage, these expanding companies can still locate top talent by tapping into several unexplored industries.
One possibility is that some candidates haven’t quite gotten the appropriate offer yet. If you can persuade a candidate that your company is superior to the competition in specific areas, such as benefits, work flexibility, or culture, you can transform what appears to be a saturated market into one brimming with qualified applicants.
Second, the most neglected and unexplored source of high talent is the pool of individuals not actively seeking employment.
Although it may seem strange, an excellent professional’s ears perk up when an executive search firm contacts them and tells them that they may be able to find a more desirable position elsewhere. Someone not previously regarded as a “candidate” has suddenly joined the market.
Activating passive job hunts for applicants who are happy in their current employment but are open to a change is a speciality of recruiters. After years of building this network, they frequently find leads in seemingly barren areas.
