A little bit more info:

Hooray is super excited that Mark Mahana has joined their team and will be leading their Tech + Engineering specialist division. Mark is an experienced technical recruiter and joins with an impressive network of clients and candidates. He provides a specialist service for various industries, including but not limited to FMCG, Robotics & Automation, Aerospace & Defence, Oil & Gas and Information Technology.

The case ‘for’ being a diverse and inclusive employer is irrefutable. There is a plethora of research dating back over the last 10 years or more that shows how businesses who provide the same opportunities for each individual, regardless of their identity or background, are more attractive as an employer and enjoy higher staff retention rates, which in turn boosts productivity and positively impacts the bottom line. Business is simply better when it is diverse and inclusive. 

But while the sales pitch is easy to buy into, actually developing it in practice continues to be a challenge for a great many employers. Here we will take a look at some of the most effective ways that this can be accomplished. 

Millennials (b.1981-1996). The very utterance of the word has been known to prompt eye rolling among many baby boomers (b. 1946-1965) and Generation Xers (b.1966-1980). As for Generation Zers (b.1997-2012), well, this could be one demographic that’s even less understood than their Millennial forebearers despite the fact that a significant number of them may have been in the workforce for the last seven years.

However, as an employer, understanding who you have within your teams is critical both in terms of forging effective working relationships from a top down, bottom up and linear perspective but also in the way organisations seek to position themselves as an employer of choice.

A HUGE welcome to Stephen who joins the Hooray team today as our Lead Consultant in our Professional Services division.

With an impressive 20+ years in recruitment and vast knowledge across the financial services industry, Stephen is a senior recruiter and expert client recruitment partner.

Being a manager, an employer, is not an easy job. No matter how experienced one may be, this is a role that will constantly challenge and surprise you in equal measure. This has never been truer than right now. With many organisations today being a hybrid of virtual and physical workplaces, the pressure is on employers to ensure their teams remain connected.

To say that the coronavirus has impacted our everyday lives, would perhaps be the greatest understatement of all time. With the economy in a state of flux, and demand for talent across every sector rising and falling seemingly on a daily basis, it is a strange and frustrating time for job seekers. So, how has the pandemic shaped changed the way in which people are searching for jobs?
