Resourcing trends | Philips' talent lead on employer branding

When it comes to attracting talent, employers have their work cut out for them.

This is because the current market is heavily candidate-driven; for example, according to The Office for National Statistics (ONS) the employment rate estimate for people between the ages of 16 and 64-years-old within the UK for the period of July to September 2019 was 76%. This figure has remained at a constant high for the past few months, indicating that employment opportunities are at an all-time high, giving jobseekers plenty of leverage when it comes to looking for new opportunities.
