Do you want to know how to appeal to discerning candidates?

 Are you wondering what attracts candidates to a potential opportunity?

Nowadays, in a number of sectors, candidates are well and truly in the driving seat and employers must work hard to distinguish themselves from their competition in order to secure the best talent.

In this panel discussion, using data from an extensive survey of professionals from a range of different sectors, including legal, recruitment & HR, we’ll be giving in insight into exactly what candidates value most in a role, the most common reasons why people move jobs and how most people go about starting their job search. We’ll also touch upon what employers can do to improve the recruitment process for candidates.

You’ll come away with a better understanding of exactly what people are looking for so that you can refine your employer offering and greaten your appeal to talented candidates and ultimately, your future employees.
