We know that diversity, especially in our top team, improves business outcomes. However, people from under-represented groups do not always have the same opportunities to reach leadership level. Many initiatives aim to address this imbalance and make workplaces more diverse and inclusive.

Before social media, the growth of the internet and the dizzying array of technology we now have at our disposal, it was considerably easier for businesses to stand out from the crowd and separate themselves from their rivals. Now, competition is rife, and it has never been more important for businesses to differentiate themselves as employers; but how can firms do it?

The growth of technology and the subsequent ability for organisations to source, utilise and leverage data has had an impact on almost every area of society, from home to the workplace and everywhere in between. But how has data impacted hiring strategies and the wider, global talent acquisition market?

In the modern world of executive recruitment, there are hiring challenges in almost every sector and industry. There is shared demand for the very best candidates and the talent pool is far too small for all of these employers to have the high level, top-tier leaders they all need. However, there are ways around the senior hiring problem, and we have outlined key methods employers can use to tackle this far from unique challenge.

Like almost every other major sector, there is a battle on for executive level talent within the TMT (technology, media and telecoms) arena. Employers of all sizes are competing for a shrinking pool of talent, so where can you source senior specialists from and how do you go about attracting them to your business?

It’s all too easy to allow positivity and corporate expansion potential to steer business growth plans, but jumping into opportunities too quickly without the appropriate planning can limit success.

You probably do not need us to tell you that it is a challenging hiring market out there at the moment. There are fewer people out of employment than ever before and, according to the Office of National Statistics, there are a record 1.2m vacancies across all sectors in the UK.

We all recognise that recruiting and maintaining a diverse workforce is challenging, and the problem is heightened at executive team level where, being kind, you might say many firms have historically struggled with their ethnic and gender diversity.

Talent shortages are being felt by every business and across every level, from entry level staff right up to the C-Suite. When it comes to engaging executive talent, the evolution the pandemic drove across the world of work has not only increased demand for top level execs, but it has also changed the demands from this talent pool.
