EP216 | Current labour market challenges and how to differentiate your agency - Dave talks to Kevin Green 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/episode/3UBwnXkIwi9Z3mYOK2K15p?si=xf0CEkkOR0uLQUO0uF6vww 📖 https://wave-rs.co.uk/blog/dave-talks-to-kevin-green/ --- The ability to source and/or produce, plus dissect and break down data for clients can be a key differentiator for recruiters. Agencies need to be looking at a client’s offering against direct market competitors, finding market data, geographical data, and the candidate perception of that organisation. There’s a lot of publicly available labour market data but taking that data and making it meaningful to clients is incredibly valuable. Helping clients to understand the market and what candidates want will help them to get better at attracting quality candidates. As well as bringing candidates to clients, recruitment consultants should be providing data and insight about what’s going on in the marketplace and where their brand fits in. Employers will look through a lens of what they’re seeing in the labour market and so appreciate independent market advice. There are huge opportunities for agencies that do this.
