If you ask any employer about the applicants they received for their last vacancy, and it’s likely they found it difficult to fill the role, according to Brad Giles, Leadership Team Coach at Evolution Partners.
The reason? They received a large number of unsuitable applicants and very few suitable applicants.
More companies are competing for the best talent in the belief that there is almost no substitute for a higher percentage of top performers.
“Equally the most talented people are applying for the jobs with the best companies that give them what they need today, and, offer the best opportunity for career advancement in the future. They are applying for jobs that are in their own best interests.”
Giles cited a study by Danny Samson from the University of Melbourne, 95% of employees said they would consistently put their own interests in front of those of their employer.
