HR, Training & Recruitment Survey

Friday, November 28th, 2008

SHL Ireland completed a survey with organisations in Ireland and there were some interesting findings. I have outlined the key points below. As expected there is an air of consolidation and getting more out of existing staff resources through up-skilling and redeployment initiatives.

59pc of companies surveyed indicated that redefining how staff will need to operate was ‘critical’ to 2009 HR strategy.

47.6pc indicated that redeployment of staff as an important strategy to implement in the current economic climate.

67.9pc of companies surveyed indicated that succession planning would be key in identifying who within their organisation would be retrained in 2009.

57.9pc reported cut back of 25pc or less in recruitment, training and development budgets.

16.2pc identified an immediate requirement to cut staff through voluntary or forced redundancy. Is this your organisation? Outplacement Services can support.

44.7pc of organisations surveyed revealing they have no immediate plans to reduce the intake on their graduate/management development programmes.

Graduate Recruitment – CVizz VideoCV solutions

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Graduate recruitment is essential for all organisations and each year there is a battle to attract and capture the best graduate talent.

Graduate recruitment can be a nightmare for most HR functions. From experience it is quite difficult to differentiate between graduates based on paper CV’s. They all have Degrees and their CV’s all look the same. Ok – you can argue that there are differentiations in the type of qualification and grade BUT you must agree that the best qualified graduates do not always make the best employees. Think back to a time when you read a great graduate CV only to very be let down when you called that graduate for interview.

There may be a solution to this graduate recruitment problem. A solution that will also help save time, money and resources in your battle to get the cream of graduate talent.

A new revolutionary website www.cvizz.com has just been launched. CVizz is a videoCV hosting service which allows registered employers to search a pre-screened database of graduate videoCV’s.

Some of the benefits for Graduate Recruitment programs:

A living CV – paper CV’s are one dimensional and tell you nothing about the person.

Time saving – less time spent planning, organising and interviewing.

Cost savings – Reduced spend in graduate recruitment.

Public Image – Using this advance technology will impress graduates and make them pick you.
