It's happening......... The RPO market is experiencing significant growth. Projections estimate 10% annual growth in the coming years. If you have a customer who would book a meeting to hear more about: 🌟Reducing the cost per hire by +30% 🌟Accessing expertise and tech 🌟The ability to turn hiring on and off 🌟How to enhance the employer brand 🌟How to build a true talent pool for them Then you should probably innovate and build talent solutions. If you dont, your competetitors will.

Skills‑first hiring continues to accelerate across the UK, with 77% of employers now prioritising skills over traditional qualifications. This shift is helping organisations widen talent pools, improve hiring accuracy, and reduce both mis‑hires and overall hiring costs, but knowing where to begin can be challenging.   To stay ahead in today’s talent market, employers should focus on three key priorities: - Assess both technical and soft skills - Combine data‑driven testing with human insight - Align skill needs with long term business goals Adecco supports organisations in adopting skills‑first hiring, offering structured skills assessments, market benchmarking, and screening processes that highlight both technical capability and interpersonal strengths.   If your organisation is looking for further insights or tailored support to keep you ahead, contact us today: https://lnkd.in/e45VrykJ.   #AdeccoUKI #SkillsFirstHiring #SkillsBasedHiring #FutureOfWork #TalentStrategy #WorkforcePlanning

Partnership Announcement: inploi 🤝 RL Exchange Really pleased to welcome back Inploi to the Resourcing Leaders UK community for the newly introduced RLX. For both TA leaders trying to convert talent into hires and vendors building solutions for the space, it’s clear that candidate engagement and application drop-off are two of the biggest challenges in hiring right now. Attracting talent is one thing but actually keeping them engaged through the process and converting that interest into applications is where many teams struggle. It's so important what they're doing: using AI-powered candidate engagement to help organisations source, engage and convert the people they need, while treating candidates more like customers and giving recruiters time back to focus on people, not process. Looking forward to having Felix Dealtry lead 1:1 meetings and join the conversations with the community over the two days. Welcome back Dean Webb Matthew de la Hey and co 🚀

Recruitment is changing faster than most agencies are willing to admit. CV scanning, manual shortlists, and gut-feel interviews don’t scale — and they don’t compete with AI that can read thousands of profiles in seconds, match skills objectively, and remove bias from first-round screening. This isn’t a threat to recruiters. It’s a warning. AI won’t replace recruiters, but recruiters who use AI will replace those who don’t. #RecruitmentTrends #AIInHiring #FutureOfWork #HRTech #TalentAcquisition

Technical interviews can be daunting, but with the right preparation, you can navigate them confidently. Here are some key steps to set yourself up for success: 1. Understand the Basics: Make sure your foundational knowledge is solid. Refresh your skills in data structures, algorithms, and core concepts. 2. Practice, Practice, Practice: Use platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank to solve problems. Regular practice will help you think algorithmically. 3. Know the Company: Research the company's technology stack, products, and services. Tailor your preparation to align with their specific needs. 4. Mock Interviews: Conduct mock interviews with peers or mentors. This simulates the real experience and provides constructive feedback. 5. Prepare Questions: Remember, interviews are a two-way street. Prepare insightful questions about the role, team, and projects to demonstrate your interest. 6. Rest Well: A good night's sleep before your interview will keep your mind sharp and reduce stress. I'd love to hear your insights! What strategies have worked for you in preparing for technical interviews? #TechnicalInterviews #InterviewTips #CareerGrowth

A bad hire will cost you far more than the time it takes you to give feedback or respond to an email..... The ability to move quickly can be the difference between a successful hire and a mediocre one. Although recruitment might only be 1% of your day, it will be 100% of someone elses so it requires the attention it deserves. Dont loose out just because its not at the top of your to-do list. #Hiringtips
