How to tackle recruitment challenges in your small business?

We know how challenging recruiting the right people for your team can be – not to mention time-consuming! You want to attract top talent but also avoid spending endless hours on recruitment admin when you could focus on growing your business.

A perfect storm of factors – Brexit, Covid, and the Great Resignation – has made recruitment tougher than ever. Small businesses like yours are competing for talent within a smaller applicant pool than just a few years ago.

It’s easy to put off recruiting when you’re busy, especially with the worry that it could become a major time sink. But delaying recruitment can impact your current team, and ultimately, your business priorities and success. When your small business is under-resourced, your team often has to stretch to cover gaps, leading to demotivation and, potentially, more vacancies. Even once you find the ideal person, you may need to wait for them to work out a notice period, and it’s increasingly common for candidates to accept other offers before starting – or even shortly after.

Streamlining the recruitment process can help you secure the best candidates, and SafeHR offers ways to save time without compromising quality or your growth goals.
