We hope to add our voice to these well deserving initiatives and raise some awareness, as well as report on the findings of our local research across Thames Valley organisations. 🆓If you want to be on the pre release list for a free copy of our report drop us a message on admin@wademacdonald.com and you will be one of the first to receive the report before it goes on general release......... *sorry if we haven't listed all campaigns for March but this is just some of the ones that affect recruitment and the workplace #DiversityAndInclusion #InternationalWomensDay #Neurodiversity #WomensHistoryMonth #CelebrateDiversity

Having signed up to the Ethical Reading Recruitment Charter, we thought it was a great time to repost this blog from Miles Gallagher on Transparency in Recruitment. The Recruitment Charter was designed to encourage and promote ethical recruitment practices across the borough and tackle wrongdoing in the application process for applicants, something we are a big believer in here at Wade Macdonald. Miles is passionate on this topic and his recent blog looks at how he lives and breathes what he stands for in his day to day recruitment process. Have a read over a coffee ☕ https://ow.ly/BEA750V0bUn #EthicalRecruitment #RecruitmentCharter #TransparencyInRecruitment #WadeMacdonald

AI in Recruitment: Excited or still nervous 😨 We are interested to hear from Talent Acquisition teams and Hiring Managers as to how you plan to embrace AI in your hiring processes in 2025. We've just had a report through from Firefish Software, that looks at how recruitment agencies intend to use AI in their business and it's interesting to see how this differs from Talent Acquisition Teams. We know there can be a nervousness around using it in the interview process for fear of bias and discrimination but in a time where budgets are tight and time to hire is so important, could it help with other areas of the recruitment process? We'd love to hear your thoughts 🤔

How to move past rejection............. A hard pill to swallow? You can't always control everything in your life and you won't always get what you want. Perhaps like the saying goes, 'Things happen for a reason'. So when it comes to job interviews: 👉 Ask for feedback and don't take it to heart. It's constructive and should help you to improve. Make sure to follow up if you don't hear back from the interviewer.  👉 Learn from your slip-ups, go back over your interview techniques and adjust your CV (if needs be). 👉 Get back out there and don't lose faith in yourself. There is a job out there that is suited to you and you will find it. And remember: The job seeking and interview process is a two-way thing. The interviewer has to impress you as much as you have to impress them. Rejection helps us grow and realise what we do and don't want from a lot of things in life. It teaches us valuable lessons and helps us reflect. Use it as a tool, not something to be afraid of! And if all else fails, we are always on hand for a chat to help you turn rejection into something positive 📞 #rejection #interviewtips

👏Introducing Nathan Freestone continued............. Nathan comes highly recommended as you can see from the comments below from one his candidates💌 The feedback we get for Nathan always mentions his professionalism, consultative approach and the fact he really takes the time to get to know you as an actual person rather than just a CV 🤗 Well done Nathan 👏 #ProfessionalRecruiter #Recruitment #CareerAdvice #FinanceJobs
