Einstein said ‘insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results’. This seems to ring true when we talk about the so called ‘war for talent’. This is an often quoted and misused expression describing the challenge for businesses to recruit, retain and develop the relevant talent to deliver sustainable growth.

Remember when you used to receive CVs with candidates listing 20 year’s service at one company? When loyalty to an employer was a key measure of a candidate’s values? On one occasion (many years ago) I remember receiving a CV from a candidate who had spent 20 years at ICL and in fact presented his CV on ICL headed paper! The problem was that this was now the late 90s and it had since become the norm to spend 18 months to three years with an employer before looking for the next move. Certainly any more than five years with one employer looked lazy!

Over the years, the use of a contingent workforce (contractors, consultants, freelancers, interims, temps etc) has grown. In just 20 years, the percentage of work allocated to contingent labour on average has grown from 6% in 1989 to more than 27% in 2009. Read full post

In an in-depth report published last week by Deloitte we can see a stark presentation of some of the very real challenges that face businesses globally with regard to their talent.

The UK’s eroding EVP?

Businesses like ours spend years working with clients to formulate compelling employee value propositions (EVP) for our clients and how to get an unfair share of top talent through their doors.
