Sales insights
The landscape of team structures is undergoing significant shifts. Businesses are adopting more customer-aligned teams and leadership roles and consolidating functions.
Talent insights
In response to the challenge of attracting experienced individuals to business-critical roles, organisations are developing more attractive propositions. These packages are not only characterised by increased remuneration but a clearly defined pathway for senior development within the business.
The evolution of food service
The foodservice sector, along with the broader Away From Home channel, has been a highly active recruitment space. As resources are reinstated post-COVID, there's a deliberate effort to diversify expertise. This involves enhancing commercial planning, leveraging data, and implementing advanced customer management processes. This strategic revitalisation positions the sector for sustained growth and adaptability.
Embrace contract workers
Many companies have seasonal products or seasonal peak demands. An ideal seasonal structure identifies a core group of permanent staff combined with a flexible workforce contingent.
Attract passive candidates
While candidates are often receptive to new opportunities, passive candidates are being approached multiple times per week by different recruiters, making it vital to connect personally with relevant and compelling offers. Make sure your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is appealing.
