Competition for talent has intensified. making it increasingly difficult to find qualified candidates through traditional recruitment channels, particularly in emerging and specialist fields.

Through our expert of knowledge of the tech labour market, our specialist recruitment teams use a variety of channels to tap into passive talent pools and access the 70% of candidates who are otherwise out of reach.

Rising
Salaries
The global skills shortage, exacerbated by increasing demand for talent, has resulted in rising salary expectations.

PSL
Restrictions
Preferred suppliers with large client bases are often restricted in their pool of accessible talent due to a conflict of interest.
Organisations miss out on potentially viable candidates in an already tight labour market and harm their chances of securing top talent.
To address this issue, we recommend maintaining a diverse Preferred Supplier List (PSL) that includes recruitment partners of varying sizes.
This approach allows you to capture a wider pool of accessible talent, ensuring you don’t miss out on exceptional candidates who might be overlooked by larger agencies.
Choose i4Recruit as part of your diverse PSL and improve the consistency and efficiency recruitment service. Benefit from our focused approach, industry expertise, and commitment to finding the right talent for your organisation.
Inbound
Limitations
Organisations relying solely on inbound sourcing methods severely limit the size of their talent pool and risk missing out on high-quality candidates.
With only 30% of the global workforce actively seeking new opportunities, organizations that rely solely on inbound sourcing methods overlook a staggering 70% of the labour market and may struggle to meet their hiring needs effectively.
To address this challenge, we leverage a combination of outbound sourcing channels to reach a wider audience more quickly and efficiently than traditional methods. Our targeted recruitment techniques enable us to identify individuals who possess the specific skills and experience required and engage with candidates who may not have otherwise applied.

- Temp-to-Perm Solution: This flexible approach allows you to evaluate candidates in real-world scenarios before making long-term commitments. By assessing their technical skills, cultural fit, and performance on the job, you can reduce costs associated with bad hires and minimise staff turnover.
