With an abundance of roles available within the mortgage market, and a large range of candidates available, will you be able to find the right talent needed to help your business flourish?
Last year saw the balance of power between employers and employees ebb and flow. Data from a recent CIPD survey showed that more than 6.5 million workers intended to find new roles within the next year ahead, with the top
reasons cited being employees seeking greater pay and benefits, increased job satisfaction and a better work-life balance.
Top challenges
Today’s workforce are seeking more enticing benefits packages that go beyond basic pay and entitlements. Hybrid working is now increasingly seen as an essential requirement for example, meanwhile employers are having to up their game to compete for employees in the market – development programmes, four-day working weeks, complimentary refreshments and cycle-to-work schemes are just some examples of perks being offered by today’s firms in the mortgage industry. As the Cost of Living crisis hits, job security is more important than ever for new
candidates, and with the FCA Consumer Duty almost upon us, it’s critical to ensure that new employees can embody the behaviours and values of your business and do the right thing for the consumer, which is a key consideration in the hiring decision.
Make your firm stand out
Increasingly we are seeing that if you’re seeking to attract younger, fresh talent into
the industry, it’s important to have strong online presence and social media to validate
your business as candidates look to find out more about your firm. We also see the need for greater contract
& salary transparency – by being forthright and upfront about the key details, you can attract further candidate applications as the rising cost of living forces more employees to reconsider their financial position.
