Designing a candidate-centric experience: Sharp’s story

When it comes to recruiting top talent, a seamless candidate journey is key.

After all, the recruitment process works both ways: candidates are developing a lasting impression of your business, as much as you are developing one of them.

With that in mind, the candidate journey needs to be efficient and lean, of course, but it also needs to include meaningful interaction at key touch points.

Hear from Justin Hooper, HR Director at Sharp, as he reveals Sharp’s approach to attracting great talent through a candidate-centric experience.

Recruiting women in the workplace: a leadership gap

Recruiting women in the workplace: a leadership gap

Content Team

Recruiting women in the workplace, and promoting them as leaders, continues to be a key business challenge for many enterprises worldwide.

Just ask Jenny Milner, a talent resourcing manager for Hudson RPO. Jenny delivers talent solutions for InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of our key clients.

She recently participated in a panel of senior women IHG leaders. During the event, Jenny was asked: “What is the best advice you would offer women who want to excel in their career?”

Her answer, she says, is simple: Believe in what you do and say.

Jenny Milner, a talent resourcing manager for Hudson RPO
Jenny Milner, a talent resourcing manager for Hudson RPO, says self-belief is key to career success.

“Men will typically look at a job title and feel they are the right fit,” Jenny says.

“Women, on the other hand, will read a job ad. They’ll then call to ask questions about the job. If they have any doubt in their ability to perform all aspects of the role, they won’t apply.”

Nurturing self-belief is key to recruiting women in the workplace, particularly at senior levels.

Promoting more women in senior roles

Women comprise just under 40 percent of the global workforce, according to 2018 data collected by the World Bank.

This represents an overall upward trend for Europe, the Americas, and APAC, since 1990.

However, there’s still work to do in terms of placing more women in senior management leadership positions.

Women in an office
Global trends reveal a gap in the number of women vs. men in senior management.

Women are underrepresented at senior levels, according to the 2018 LeanIn.org and McKinsey Women in the Workplace study. Within corporate America, as an example, for every 100 men promoted into management, only 79 women became managers.

This inequality is hitting the talent pipeline.

According to the study:

“If companies continue to hire and promote women to manager at current rates, the number of women in management will increase by just one percentage point over the next ten years. But if companies start hiring and promoting women and men to manager at equal rates, we should get close to parity in management—48 percent women versus 52 percent men—over the same ten years.”

Financial performance links to gender diversity

Companies must act on the opportunity to improve gender parity in management. Financial performance links to these metrics.

Average relative returns increase in correlation to gender diversity, according to research by Morgan Stanley. And profits grow by six percentage points for companies whose executives number at least one in three. That’s according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics. You can learn more about both insights here.

Beyond financial performance, there exist plenty of more reasons to act. Diverse representation is known to drive employee engagement, which in turn drives the bottom line. Gender representation also helps ensure diversity of thought when it comes to problem-solving and innovation, both of which are key to success in a crowded market.

Progress and perseverance

Across regions and countries, various efforts are helping to reduce the gender pay gap. A range of anecdotes illustrate how the dial is starting to shift, says Leah Burdick, vice president of global marketing for Hudson RPO.

In the United States, for example, some states and localities now prohibit recruiters from requesting salary history. Meanwhile, California has become the first US state to require at least one woman to serve on the board of a public company.

Canada, for its part, trails the US in terms of gender diversity at board-level. Given the nature of that economy, a deeper commitment to diversification is required of smaller firms and the resource sector.

Iceland offers a notable example of outcome-driven compliance and equality. In an effort to eliminate the gender pay gap by 2022, Iceland recently made it illegal to pay women less than men. Iceland continues to rank No. 1, worldwide, for gender pay equality.

Leah says: “These examples open our eyes to the work that remains to be done in terms of placing more women in senior roles. That begins with supporting women to achieve their professional goals from the start of their career.”

Cancer Research UK fundraising: Hudson RPO up for the challenge

by

Cancer Research UK fundraising is a mere cycle/swim/hike away!

This June, a team of colleagues from Hudson RPO will swim lakes, climb Helwellyn mountain, and cycle through fresh air and beautiful scenery.

It promises to be a thrilling outdoor challenge. Supported by Hudson RPO, funds raised from the event will benefit the charity Cancer Research UK.

Swimming race featured at Cancer fundraising event
Join us on a thrilling charity challenge! The event will benefit Cancer Research UK.

The event is spearheaded by RPO operations manager Jared Massey.

Jared is organising the event in memory of a very close friend, Andy King, who died recently.

Do you want to join us on in our pursuit of outdoor excellence? You’re warmly invited.

Read on to learn more, or donate to the Hudson RPO / Cancer Research UK fundraiser here.

Event details

Dates: The event begins on Friday, the 14th of June. It ends on the evening of Sunday, the 16th of June.

Starting location: We’ll set off at around 11.30am from the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Edinburgh.

Event stages: The event includes a cycle ride, a swim, and a hike.

  • Friday and Saturday will be spent cycling from Edinburgh to the Lake District.
  • On Sunday morning, we’ll enjoy an invigorating 500 meter swim in one of the beautiful lakes.
  • Following the swim, we’ll hike 10 miles up Hellvelyn mountain, from the village of Glenridding. The hike is planned to begin at 10.30am on Sunday.

Get involved: cycle, swim, or hike… or do all three!

Did you know Hellvelyn is the third biggest mountain in the UK? Imagine the satisfaction of succeeding in this personal challenge, with friends and colleagues at your side.

We aim to support all abilities and encourage everyone to discover the satisfaction of meeting a personal challenge.

All of this will be in the company of friends, including members of Andy’s family who are keen to support us in this initiative.

Of course, you don’t have to participate in the whole event. You can just select a single stage: cycling, swimming, or hiking.

All parts of the challenge are hard, but not painfully tough. The idea is to take your time, have some fun, and enjoy the experience.

The challenge is designed to suit all fitness levels.

Training inspiration from Jared

While training, Jared continues to be inspired by people like Jurgen Klopp, a professional football manager.

Jared says: “I surround myself with experts and people who are different to me, as I will never pretend to be the best in everything in fitness or at work. By doing this, the scope for excellence is far greater. It pushes all of us to new heights.”

He follows the advice he’s learned from Jurgen, frequently modifying it for the recruitment world:

Be honest if you don’t know. This is not a weakness or shouldn’t be, so I always seek advice on how I should train or indeed how to deliver best in class to our clients.

Bring in energy when people are flagging. Recruitment and this event can and will be a hard slog at times. When the going gets tough, exert some energy of your own into proceedings, with a laugh, a bit of fun or reminding people of the end goal.

Jared says: “To continue my preparation, in the spirit of Jurgen’s advice, I did a couple of 40 mile bike rides at the weekend. I’m also keen to ensure I have the right people on-board with the challenge. The right people make all the difference.”

Be inspired by Jared’s latest training video, as he takes a break from cycle training to explore how we can shift gears to become exceptional recruiters and leaders, or even just better cyclists.

In another video, Jared explores the parallels between training for excellence in recruitment and sport.

Cancer Research UK fundraising: support the cause

Jared said: “Thank you, all. I cannot tell you how difficult it has been recently, like it is for anyone who loses someone close. But hand on heart, working with such great people and a great company has helped me enormously.#
