How the Pandemic can improve your access to highly skilled people.

Use the market to your advantage and speak to as many people as you can..
During this Pandemic as we have all seen on the news there have been lots of job losses and people placed on furlough through no fault of their own. This is an opportunity for businesses and employers to take advantage of the market and availability of highly skilled people. Having worked within the Logistics and Ecommerce markets most of my career this is an area where it is growing faster than at any time and due to this all the companies within these areas are searching to fill the gaps this sudden growth is causing .
Having worked in senior leadership roles within Sales I have recruited and managed large sales teams and it is important to make sure you use this time with the people that are available wiseley to give your company the best start it can have to 2021.
When I look at a CV it is not about qualifications and who they have worked for , it's more about what they have done and you can't tell that from a CV. With modern technology and the current restrictions we are doing everything via Zoom or Teams and again this gives a unique opportunity to meet more people and have a short meet and greet with people from all different areas of business as I find from experience that talking to people and listening to what they have done and what makes them tick will tell you more than any CV in a short time .
The skills people have more often than not can be transferred to a different industry, so again don't cross someone off just because they haven't worked in a particular sector for years as experience is important but it can also be something that stops people from having new ideas and different ways of doing things, which can be what your company needs especially in these tough times .
Use the market to your advantage and speak to as many people as you can as recruiting the right person isn't easy but if you don't just cross off people based on experience and talk to them you will get a clearer picture of what you are really looking for and will make the right choice which will help you to prosper into 2021
and beyond.
Using an external commercial consultant can feel like you are letting go of the control of the greatest part of your company Sales.
