This subject has been aired on a couple of industry blogs recently, so we thought we’d lay out the pros and cons we’ve seen as recruitment software experts.

Recruitment agencies that make use of SaaS have been reporting a huge surge in recruitment in certain areas of retail… one of which is vehicle sales. More specifically, car sales, as the trade market seems to be taking a little longer to get back on its feet, although several industry professionals are suggesting that we […]
Cybersecurity recruitment issues There’s a substantial talent gap in the cybersecurity industry, and that’s hardly news.

It’s been a long time coming. For over a decade the financial services industry in the UK has struggled to survive debt crisis after debt crisis, Brexit woes and worries, and finally the pandemic. However, following a regular reduction in financial services recruitment year-on-year, the final decision around Brexit has given some optimism. Understaffing is […]
It can be easy to think that other people’s problems are not our own. So when the The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) recently announced the release of a Responsible Recruitment Due Diligence Toolkit, it may not have seemed particularly relevant to the UK. However, the toolkit, designed to prevent forced labour in supply chains, is […]
