Adapting recruitment to new talent and changing values
In a recent episode of the Talent Matters podcast, Simon Lewis and Grant Bristow dive into a growing challenge in the recruitment industry: balancing experienced professionals with new talent. With recruiters who’ve been in the industry for 15+ years, many know they need to bring in different types of individuals. But hiring someone with a traditional recruitment background may no longer be the solution. Simon and Grant highlight the importance of looking at fresh talent—rookies and graduates—who have new skills that can be transferred and molded to fit modern recruitment needs. However, there’s a growing gap between the values of incoming talent and the existing culture. The real question recruiters need to ask is: what values and culture do we need to build a future-proof business, rather than relying on historical norms? 🎧 Listen to the full Talent Matters episode to hear Simon and Grant’s full take on adapting recruitment strategies to new talent and shifting industry values.
