As 2024 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the insights our team has made - insights that have not only shaped our strategies, but also driven meaningful impact for our clients and partners worldwide.

Here’s what we’ve learnt:

1. Candidates don’t always want more from a move, but they’re certainly looking for different.
2. Employee Value Propositions (EVP) and Candidate Value Propositions (CVP) are often treated as one entity, but this shouldn’t be the case.
3. Hiring Managers are still surprised that hiring is a two-way street.
4. Storytelling when hiring - as long as it’s convincing - will always help you win.
5. Unfortunately, talent acquisition (TA) is often the forgotten sales team.
6. AI is transforming our day-to-day processes and how we do them.
7. Succession planning isn’t a hope, it’s a must-have.
8. Diversity is still talked about far more than it’s actioned.
9. Even in a tough market, top talent have options - don’t underestimate this.
10. Multi-generational engagement remains a top priority: diverse experiences and perspectives make for a strong team.
