Navigating the Seas of Recruitment: Enhancing Efficiency and Communication for Maritime, Shipping, Energy Solutions, and SC&L Industries
In this blog, we'll delve into the challenges faced by hiring managers and HR managers when handling internal recruitment, the evolving expectations from recruitment partners, and EQ8 Recruit's solution-oriented approach to address communication gaps and CV oversights.
The Evolution of Recruitment:
When I entered the recruitment scene, only a handful of major recruitment service players dominated this niche. However, the landscape has since changed, with smaller competitors emerging globally. Hiring companies have shifted preferences away from the pushy "cowboy style" recruiters of the past. Today, they seek recruitment partners who act as genuine collaborators, respecting clients' desires to optimise costs through internal recruitment while adapting to the changing dynamics of the recruitment process.
The Shift in Client Expectations:
Client expectations in the maritime, shipping, energy solutions, and SC&L industries have soared, rightfully so. Many hiring managers still approach recruiters with skepticism, often due to negative experiences with inefficient, CV-slinging professionals. However, positive change is on the horizon. With the industry's evolving approach to recruitment and a new generation of quality-driven recruitment consultants like the team at EQ8 Recruit, where we prioritise world-class recruitment services and believe candidates deserve an enhanced application experience, the recruitment sector is poised for a bright future. Clients can now experience a collaborative and value-driven relationship with their recruitment partners at EQ8 Recruit.
Internal recruitment teams may struggle to review every application thoroughly, risking the oversight of valuable talent.
Understanding the Challenges of Internal Recruitment:
While handling internal recruitment can be cost-effective, it presents its own set of challenges. Internal recruitment teams may struggle to review every application thoroughly, risking the oversight of valuable talent. Communication gaps during the recruitment process can further hinder the candidate experience, impacting your organisation's brand reputation in the long run.
