Organisations operating within in the current labour market know how difficult it is to both attract top talent, and retain the best people. Not only are businesses operating within turbulent markets, recent wage inflation has impacted many employers, which have become squeezed from both sides, facing rising costs and cautious consumers. These tricky market conditions have resulted in organisations struggling to find flexible recruitment solutions, especially where meeting the expectations of established candidates has become unviable. As a result, employers are taking a renewed focus on emerging talent such as graduates.
One of the leading recruitment specialists in this space, Grayce, has bought a new approach to the recruitment of emerging talent. Effectively, Grayce employs emerging talent, and then sub-contracts that talent to businesses, who then have the option of taking on those candidates full time.
It’s the perfect low risk solution to organisations with shifting recruitment needs, helping organisations harness the power of emerging top graduate talent on a flexible basis. In fact, Grayce has recently been awarded preferred supplier status as part of Public Sector Resourcing’s (PSR) Recruit Train Deploy (RTD) service, underlining the renewed demand for uncovering emerging talent.
Public sector bodies can now utilise Grayce’s Hire, Train, Deploy and Develop solutions, ensuring digital transformation is supported, new skills are brought to the public sector and emerging talent is given the spotlight it deserves.
The appointment will enable Grayce to directly deliver services across Central Government, Local Government, Health and the wider public sector through a recognised and compliant framework. Expanding on its existing public sector capability, the company will provide these organisations with carefully selected Grayce talent, employed by Grayce, and supported through tailored development pathways encompassing digital, data and business skills, while supported by Grayce’s dedicated delivery team and support structure. Government organisations will have an option to permanently employ Grayce talent directly following completion of their development programme.
Flexible technical resource
Using this type of recruitment specialist will enables private business and public sector organisations, to build and develop their technical and transformation teams as their business requirement grows. Attracting a diverse range of emerging talent through organisations such as Grayce poses a lower risk to these organisations which are operating in a difficult recruitment market.
Jo Matkin, CEO at Grayce said: “We are delighted to be part of this procurement framework for the public sector. All organisations need to focus on their digital transformation right now, and I believe that by partnering with us for digital, data, commercial and transformation talent, we will not only match talent with business demand, but also equip the public sector with skills for the next generation.
Building individuals’ careers and clients’ talent capability
“Although our analysts are employed by us, as our clients’ needs change, they have the opportunity to take the analysts on as direct employees. Our business model enables us to help build individuals’ careers and clients’ talent capability. This means we can enhance their workforce, building digital and business skills for the future.”
Taking a new approach to recruitment could be the flexible solution businesses need for fulfilling human resource requirements – especially in an uncertain market where needs change quickly.
