Recruitment & Retention in a Challenging Local Market
What’s really happening in the recruitment market - and what can employers do about it?
Recruitment feels challenging right now.
But is there genuinely a shortage of candidates? Are expectations changing? Is it taking longer to recruit? Or are traditional approaches to attracting and hiring people simply becoming less effective?
In the first of our Making Recruitment Easy webinar series, Izabella Edwards, Managing Director of Edwards Employment Solutions, takes a practical look at the current recruitment landscape and what it means for employers across our local market.
Drawing on both current market statistics and the conversations we're having every day with candidates and employers, this session cuts through the noise to look at what's actually happening - and what businesses can do about it.
Whether you're actively recruiting today, planning future growth or simply want a better understanding of the employment market, this session is packed with practical insight you can take back into your business.
What you'll learn
During the webinar, we explore:
• What the current recruitment market really looks like
• Candidate availability and changing candidate behaviour
• What candidates expect from employers today
• Why some vacancies are proving harder to fill than others
• Common recruitment mistakes that can cost businesses good candidates
• How to improve candidate attraction and engagement
• The importance of speed, communication and process
• Recruitment and retention considerations for employers
• Practical changes you can make to improve your hiring outcomes
And this isn't a webinar designed to convince you that every vacancy needs a recruitment agency.
Far from it.
We believe recruitment works best when businesses understand how to recruit well in the first place.
Whether you manage your recruitment internally, partner with an agency, or use a combination of both, Making Recruitment Easy is about giving you practical tools, insight and advice to help you make better recruitment decisions.

Watching the webinar is just the start.
We've also created the Recruitment Made Easy Framework — a practical framework designed to help employers take a structured approach to recruitment from the moment a vacancy arises through to successfully welcoming their new employee into the business.
Use it to review your existing recruitment process, identify potential gaps and create a more consistent approach to hiring.
