The majority of top talent are not scrolling job boards💡 Up to 70% of the UK workforce are passive candidates - professionals who aren’t actively applying for jobs but are open to the right opportunity. Whether you're hiring in Herts, Essex, or the surrounding areas, that’s a significant portion of the talent market many businesses are not reaching. 🔎 What does this mean for employers? 👉 Job ads only reach around 30% of the market — active job seekers. 👉 Around 60% of passive candidates are open to conversations if approached directly. 👉 In high-demand sectors, professionals are even more likely to be passive due to strong market demand for their skills. 💡 The takeaway... If your hiring strategy relies solely on posting roles and waiting for applications, you're missing most of the talent pool. 🎯 Passive candidates respond to: ✔ Strong employer branding. ✔ Clear company culture and values. ✔ Direct, personalised outreach. ✔ Genuine career progression opportunities. In today’s competitive recruitment market, proactive talent engagement isn’t optional — it’s essential. Our process is built around quality outreach to passive candidates that is both targeted & strategic - built for businesses who want to reach beyond the 30% and access the wider talent market.

Make your CV stand out 💡 One of the most effective ways to make your CV stand out is to clearly show impact, not just responsibility. 👉 Responsibilities describe the scope of a role. 👉 Achievements show the outcomes delivered within it. When hiring managers review a CV, they’re often asking 'What impact did this person have in their role?' Evidence of results helps employers better understand an individual’s contribution and potential value. Examples of impact-focused achievements include: ✅ Cost efficiency - Reduced supplier costs by £120k annually - Cut operational spend by 18% 📈 Revenue and growth - Generated £500k in new business - Increased sales by 32% year on year ⚙️ Systems and process improvement - Implemented a new CRM, saving 10+ hours per week - Streamlined workflows, reducing turnaround time by 40% 👥 Leadership and people development - Built and coached a team of eight - Improved retention from 70% to 92% 🧯 Problem solving - Resolved long-standing quality issues, reducing errors by 60% - Took over a delayed project and delivered it on time and within budget 🎯 Performance and recognition - Exceeded targets by 150% - Promoted within 12 months - Recognised through performance or employee awards A helpful rule of thumb... If an outcome can be measured in financial impact, percentage change, time saved, growth, or scale — consider including it. Clear, measurable achievements help CVs communicate value more effectively and support stronger hiring decisions 💪 #CVTips #CareerAdvice #HiringManagers #JobSearch #HertsCareers #EssexCareers
