Finding Talent Beyond the Egg Banjo

Specialised expertise is crucial for navigating the complexities of any industry.  However, finding a Subject Matter Expert isn’t always easy (especially in niche sectors).

We all recognise traditional hiring challenges:

  • Publishing of brilliantly-written job specs
  • A lack of active talent to apply for vacancies
  • Limited network reach
  • Expensive job boards that yield poor results…. the list goes on

Now consider the specialised fields of Defence and Aerospace.

Here, the roadblocks mentioned above are further amplified by a limited candidate pool, the necessity for security clearances and the need for a deep understanding of the UK Defence sector

Finding candidates with a deep knowledge of Military Training Centres, Test and Development Units, Air Bases, Barracks (and a shared appreciation of egg banjos) can halt the recruitment process.

So:

Realistically, there may only be a handful of people who can do the job, so how on earth are you going to find them?

You need to build your future talent pipeline by fostering strong partnerships with a business that specialises in strategic planning, proactive talent sourcing and one that has an active and passive network of SMEs.

Schedule a SOLVE IT call to tackle your pain points.

Then sit back and relax, knowing your niche talent requirements are being expertly handled.
