Talent retention is top priority for employers

Tue, 25 May 2010

Retaining talent is the most pressing recruitment challenge for employers over the next six months, according to a new survey from PA and office support recruiter Crone Corkill.

The survey shows that 29% of employers identified retaining talent as a key recruitment challenge, while 17% are aiming to improve staff performance and productivity.

The survey also shows that 13% want to manage recruitment costs more effectively.

Conversely the same number (12%) said managing restructuring programmes  was a key recruitment challenge as those that aim to attract new talent over the next six months.

    It's interesting, and perhaps not surprising, to see that recruiters are focusing on talent retention during the recession. It's important that recruiters make sure disabled candidates have a fair chance at showing their talents - and that's not always the case. At Employers' Forum on Disability, we know from the results of our Disability Standard benchmark that 45% of employers are not confident their websites are accessible, making online recruitment systems inaccessible to many disabled applicants.
