JANUARY – WELCOME TO THE GREAT RESIGNATION
A report commissioned by a fellow recruitment firm has stated that almost a quarter of workers are actively planning to change employers in the next few months.
This “great resignation” has apparently been prompted by a high number of vacancies and post-pandemic burnout. 24% of those surveyed admitted planning to change jobs within three to six months, which marks a significant increase from the 11% who had expected to change jobs in previous years. Those working in manufacturing, construction, tech and logistics fields are most confident about finding a new role.
“I would say 50% of our time is spent identifying and evaluating the talent pool right across the banking and finance sector, and then fully understanding both the clients needs but also those of the candidates,” commented Tracy Fletcher, MD of Campbell & Fletcher Recruitment, “Salary is now no longer often the main driver for candidates.”
If you are thinking about your recruitment needs for 2022, then you need to start looking now. The best Candidates are not on the market for very long as they are being snapped up in what is a very hot job market at present.
