Good Recruitment Campaign<\/a> outlines nine key principles for recruitment which covers areas such as good recruitment practice for all types of contracts, candidate experience, ethical resource planning and much more.<\/p>\nThe Campaign was created with input from leading organizations such as Santander, Royal Mail, Penguin Random House, NHS Employers and The HR Society.<\/p>\n
CIPD, the CBI and the Institute of Leadership Management and other business and professional organizations also fed into the campaign\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n
Dubbed \u201cthe most important the REC had ever devised\u201d by REC chief executive Kevin Green, Green cited a range of statistics to demonstrate why the campaign is so timely.<\/p>\n
This includes the fact that finding the right talent is a struggle for 40% of employers, to the fact that the number of sectors experiencing skills shortages has jumped up from 14 to a current figure of 47.<\/p>\n
One figure that adds real weight to Green\u2019s argument is the fact that the cost of poor recruitment has come in at more than \u00a340,000 for 25% of employers.<\/p>\n
Explaining the aim of the campaign in further detail, at yesterday\u2019s (April 8th<\/sup>) launch event in London, Green said:<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a simple campaign.”<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is good recruitment practice; let\u2019s promote it to businesses; let\u2019s give them a tool and a charter to judge themselves against; and let\u2019s share best practice by creating a community of people that are talking about what best practice looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n
The latest figures from REC show that the greatest demand for staff is in engineering, construction and information technology, and the campaign could go some way to helping employers in these sectors find the candidates they need.<\/p>\n
