INSIGHTS

Recruitment is an expensive activity, but whilst everybody knows that retaining their existing workforce is the gold standard, it can be challenging to achieve. Whether because of natural attrition, because staff are lured away by higher paid work or roles that offer a better work-life balance

Specialist organisations can ill-afford to hold vacancies. Not only do they cost money and create an additional burden on the rest of the team, but they can prevent the organisation from pursuing growth strategies and technological innovations.

When it comes to choosing the right career path, there is certainly no shortage of options to consider. Even when you've settled on a particular field or specialism, there are choices to be made, including whether to opt for a regular, permanent position at an organisation or going it alone as a freelance contractor.
