Many of our clients have shared with us that they are receiving an increase in direct applications. For larger organisations with dedicated HR and talent acquisition teams who have the time to review each application, then this is not so much of a problem. But for small and medium-size organisations with limited resource, it is a big challenge to have the time to sift through 100’s of CVs. An outcome of more available candidates is that the quality of applications is variable and more time is needed to review each application. We have seen qualified chefs applying for administration roles and managers applying for junior roles.
People are becoming understandably desperate and it takes time to review each application and handle these with the care and sensitivity that people need at this time.
