Brunel Shares its Recruitment and Diversity Strategies
If your job involves recruitment of talent, you know the name Brunel.
In this episode Angelina Brathwaite, a Senior Client Partner with global network Brunel, shares what their offices are seeing when it comes to recruitment of talent in the life sciences.
Is it better to have niche skills right now or a higher education? Are employees being realistic with salary expectations? What are the soft skills employers are looking for that can make an employee stand out?
At the same time, companies need to continue efforts to implement diversity and inclusion into their organizational strategies. The reality is it may feel hard for smaller companies to focus on diversity, particularly when jobs out number people almost four to one. But Brunel understands companies can’t afford not to act. Diversity leads to workplace satisfaction, engagement, and new ideas. Companies
that don’t do this will be left behind.
