Executive leadership appointments require a specialist approach, the best candidates are in exceptionally high demand. Here are three challenges to look out for when hiring for an executive leadership position: 📊 Access to information You can expect a forensic approach from your executive candidate. Are you providing detailed information, and does it look suitable for an ambitious and expert applicant? We suggest identifying the key candidate touch points, and ensuring you have smart, informative collateral to impress the candidate at the key stages. 🧩 Identify cultural alignment Executive leadership impacts universal organisational direction, so cultural alignment is essential. Be clear on your company values and leadership philosophy; being sure to address drivers and ambitions for each individual. We suggest including key scenario questions, and perhaps involving two or more of the wider leadership for a comprehensive assessment. 📚 Case studies from their previous employment Query and explore key examples from their previous employment, particularly challenges overcome and difficult moments. How does your applicant address negative situations? What tangible examples of this behaviour exist in practice? Identifying key behaviours in challenging times can demonstrate leadership capability in times when it is required the most. Our executive team at Artis Executive are specialists in the delivery of executive appointments across some of the largest and best known organisations in the UK, with a recent assignment completed for Unite Students among others. #Executiverecruitment #Leadership #Specialistapproach

Are you losing out on the best talent because of inflexible work policies? 🧐 – Here at Artis Recruitment we speak with candidates every day, and it’s not just remuneration that makes the difference. Flexibility, work-life balance, and comprehensive benefits are the differentiating factors that cut your opportunity apart from the rest. Looking for someone with 10 years experience in their chosen field? You might need to consider the possible lifestyle preferences of an individual with some experience under their belt, such as – does your candidate have the flexibility to do the school run in the morning? what do the pension contributions look like? is there healthcare available? Or maybe you’re looking for someone with energy and ambition to come in and learn the ropes in your style, a worthy endeavour of course, but does your job description detail the kind of progression, access to training and development opportunities that such an individual would be drawn to? It’s not all about the money after all… It’s only with attention to these key differentiators that you will set your vacancy apart for the highest calibre of candidate. We help you create compelling job offers that attract and retain the best talent by understanding their needs and aligning them with your company culture.

The UK job market is shifting gears, and the days of measuring loyalty by years served are fading fast. Today’s professionals are taking the reins, focusing on making an impact, growing their skills, and embracing adaptability. We’re seeing a big shift towards skills-based careers and project work, accelerated by tech advancements and fresh perspectives from younger generations. It’s less about clocking up years in one role and more about squeezing the most growth and value out of every opportunity. For employers, this means it’s time to rethink the playbook—it's not just about keeping people around, but about creating spaces where they can really thrive, even if just for a short stint. As careers become more flexible, success is now all about the impact you make and the experiences you gather. As we navigate this new terrain, both employers and professionals must adapt their strategies. Companies need to focus on creating meaningful, growth-oriented experiences for their employees, while individuals must approach their careers with a mindset of continuous evolution and skill development. #GreatReshuffle #UKJobMarket #CareerEvolution #ProfessionalGrowth

It may come as no surprise that a growing number of young job seekers are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT to write their CVs. In fact, a recent study by Neurosight revealed that a staggering 57% of student job hunters are using ChatGPT to craft their CVs. 📝 --- But what challenges does this pose for recruiters? 🤷♀️ --- On one hand, AI-generated CVs can be polished and error-free, presenting candidates in their best light. However, this influx of AI-crafted applications creates a new challenge: how do recruiters distinguish between genuinely skilled applicants and those with AI-enhanced CVs? Recruiters need to wise up to ensure mis-hires are avoided when sifting through troves of robot-generated CVs. Here are some actions that can help: 🔍 Enhanced Screening Process: Implement more rigorous screening processes that go beyond the CV. This could include practical assessments, problem-solving exercises, or portfolio reviews that allow candidates to demonstrate their actual skills and experience. ⭐ Reference Checks: Conduct thorough reference checks to verify the information provided in the CV and gain insight into the candidate's work ethic, strengths, and areas for development from previous employers. ✅ Encourage Authenticity: During the application process, encourage candidates to be authentic and transparent about their use of AI tools. Create an environment where honesty is valued, and reassure applicants that their real experiences and skills are what truly matter. #JobSeekers #AIRecruitment #FutureOfWork #ArtisRecruitment
