This blog could be a gateway to better hiring ….. BUT … that’s all down to what you do after you’ve read it! Nothing in this blog will help you if you don’t help yourself. But if you’re open-minded and willing to learn, what we aim to do with this blog is give you an

We’ve seen the term getting thrown about quite a bit lately, The Great Resignation, but in fairness it’s not just record numbers of resignations but a bit of a perfect storm of increased resignations, layoffs at the beginning of the pandemic and increased rehiring at the moment.
