‘Make the most of your growth this year’

Leyla Tindall, director at Tindall Perry, discusses the impact of the general election on recruitment and how businesses can make the most of the positive economic conditions.

With job prospects and living standards rising, this year’s general election is set to have a significant impact on businesses across the country. Both of the major parties have set out their plans for the next five years, which could have wide-reaching implications for the business community.

In any time of uncertainty, it’s natural for individuals to rethink their career path, or question whether their current role is the best. Recent statistics reinforce this, with just 22% of SMEs expecting their workforce numbers to remain the same this year. With this in mind, it’s important that companies remain on the lookout for top talent to bolster their boardrooms.

With companies now looking towards growth instead of consolidation, the job market has picked up considerably over the last year, and is beginning to move extremely quickly.

As such, businesses are now no longer able to put in the time necessary to operate an effective recruitment system, and are increasingly looking towards partnerships with external agencies. With leadership a critical role in ensuring a business meets its potential, it is at board level where this becomes even more important.

At Tindall Perry, we look to enhance your management teams by providing you individuals with unrivalled experience and industry knowledge. By taking our candidates through a unique nine-step process, we ensure that we handpick the ideal board member to achieve your business objectives and maximise growth.

The current economic conditions offer a considerable opportunity to the region’s SMEs, and by applying the correct recruitment strategy at the highest levels, you can make the most of your growth this year.
