Overview of the Marketplace:

In 1997, a landmark McKinsey & Company study exposed the "war for talent" as a strategic business challenge and a critical driver of corporate performance.  This study not only broke new ground then, but is becoming more and more relevant in today’s marketplace.  There is a chronic shortage of top flight Candidates and a wealth of Companies trying to employ them, all of which is contributing to a Candidate-short market. 

CIO.com recently ran an article entitled “A Shallow Talent Pool Means Hiring Challenges” regarding this: “In a global survey of 200 senior executives and managers, NFI Research found that 64 percent see today's available talent pool today as weak. Nearly a quarter say it is significantly so.” 

As such, in the “war for talent” it is critical that potential Employers position themselves to be able to maximise their ability to source, hire, and retain quality staff, all of which begins with their basic level of in-house skill at the Hiring & Recruitment Manager Level.

Oasis James helps organisations better position themselves to attract the best candidates through analysing their Recruitment Processes to allow gains in efficiency, and by running workshops and formal training courses which give new and experienced Hiring Managers the knowledge to get that ideal Candidate through the door!!

We are particularly valuable in helping organisations become more effective when taking a Direct Sourcing model.
