This is a crunch time for recruitment teams across the UK. We’re hearing time and time again that recruitment processes are taking longer and longer to reach fruition. The ability of recruitment teams to meet the needs of their businesses is being severely tested. Brexit anxieties aren’t helping matters, as candidates become more reluctant to move – and European candidates become harder to attract. But it’s not just market factors contributing to this problem, there are also deficiencies in the ways that businesses are going about their hiring activities.
