Great feedback for Sam Cainer! This highlights why working with a specialist recruiter is essential. Locating talent is only HALF the battle! Read on... - 78.4% of LinkedIn users don’t respond to Inmails. - 90% of Gen Zs lack a LinkedIn profile. - Only 3.8% of LinkedIn Users are over 55. - 72% of job board candidates don’t respond to emails or calls. - Only 1 in 18 candidates are on job boards. Many say, "We can find talent ourselves," thinking LinkedIn or job boards suffice. Yet, how many outstanding individuals are missed because they aren’t on these platforms? At JGA Recruitment Group, we never rely on one talent pool. We implement strategies that nurture talent from diverse pools 24/7/365. This gives our consultants like Sam access to more candidates, providing clients with relevant, diverse, engaged, and skilled shortlists. Why is this important? Diversity in recruitment should involve tapping into multiple talent resources, both online and offline, active and passive. One-to-many search protocols also mitigate unconscious bias from relying on single-platform demographics. However, this only answers half the problem. The more complex aspect is CANDIDATE ENGAGEMENT. How many Inmails and emails do you get daily from unknown people? How many do you respond to? Most of us just hit "archive" or "delete." That's because finding talent is hard, but engaging talent is even harder! People are busy. And that's why I think true niche talent acquisition is an art. It's tough to be noticed among the noise, especially if the talent you identify doesn't know who you are. That’s where Sam and JGA Recruitment Group excel. We navigate the engagement problem by nurturing talent continuously. We create value and content that familiarises people prior to engagement. We produce The HR L&D Podcast and The Payroll Podcast, release whitepapers, and sit on editorial boards of industry publications. We even created a payroll song! (Link in comments). It is also why I think this testimonial for Sam shines. It highlights the inclusive experience, comfort, and reassurance he provided during a career-defining decision. It showcases how he engaged, nurtured, and supported this individual with our core values of Collaboration, Consistency, and Care. It doesn't just prove Sam’s value. It highlights the nuanced art of talent acquisition, honed through decades of conversations and connections. And it's crucial because the costs of a poor hire are enormous. We saw this during 2022 when job-to-job resignations in the UK reached a record 442,000 in Q2. So yes, anyone can "find" talent. But finding the right, best, and most aligned talent is much more complex. And it only solves the first problem. It doesn't solve the engagement problem. Hence, "acquiring" talent for your business requires more. If you want the best industry talent, contact Sam Cainer or any JGA Recruitment Group colleague. And well done, Sam! 👏👏

Thank you Nick! ... insightfull points!! For us recruitment is just another tick box in our day to day - but switching jobs is a momentous, life changing decision, that requires a listening ear and caring touch. Candidates care about a companies "employee brand" - the recruitment process is their first glimpse into what life could look like working at the company their applying for. A value driven approach, ensuring you are meeting a candidates need is where recruitment needs to be. Not a hard sales environment. Here at JGA - we take the time to act as a positive representation of your internal employee brand, taking the time to nurture a candidate through the process.

Love this Sam Cainer and Nick Day! It’s so true! You wouldn’t make a decision like buying a house without the support of a professional - so why leave a huge career move or hiring for a business critical role to chance?!
