The role of a recruiter in 2024 is unrecognisable. Today, recruitment is so much more than outsourcing talent acquisition.

The war for talent has never been more hard-fought. With so many employers looking to grow their tech teams, and a shortage of skilled candidates the role of a recruiter has bloomed.

Recruiters are asked to take on a far more consultative workforce planning role.  A specialist recruiter offers a unique insight and true value.

At Ignite Digital, we’ve noticed this evolution steadily over recent years. Our role has developed into one of true collaboration and partnership.

Here are just a few ways how working with Ignite Digital can help win the war for tech talent in 2024.

Ignite Digital can advise on contemporary working models.

Remote and flexible working models are now firm features of employment however some roles just aren’t conducive to long-term remote working.

Employers are having to balance the needs of the business with employee satisfaction.  We can discuss these options with you and advise on how you can balance the needs of the business with the expectations of your employees.

Through our detailed and meaningful conversations with candidates, we offer a variety of perspectives on employee satisfaction.

This insight can inform your policies, improving the hiring and retention rates of your business.

Ignite Digital has regional insight.

As confidence in the economy improves, thoughts have turned to expansion and investment.  One way organisations may structure this is to open new sites around the UK.

If organisations are tactical about the location of their next site, the availability of the people needed may directly inform how swiftly you reach your goals.

Our insight into regional candidate distribution means we can talk location with you.  We are aware of where the talent with the relevant skills is abundant.

Through your collaboration with us, we can help you make informed decisions based on actual data and insight.

Ignite Digital will manage expectations – yours and theirs!

Do you have realistic ideas about the time and effort it takes to recruit employees with the necessary skills?  Often, we have spoken to hiring managers who have unrealistic expectations.

Ignite Digital can help you structure your salary and benefits so that your remuneration aligns with candidate expectations.  Salaries vary dramatically based on skillsets and geography.  We will help you make sure that your offering is realistic.

We can also advise on your candidate experience, ensuring that you work within the time parameters expected by candidates who have these in-demand skills.

Candidates are put off by long feedback times, delays between interview stages, and lengthy negotiations.

We will advise what top candidates expect from the hiring process and how you can meet them.

Ignite Digital is a tech specialist.

Ignite Digital has built its reputation based on our professionalism, market insights, and tech and digital knowledge. Not only do we set ourselves the highest recruitment standards, but we are also industry specialists. We understand the needs of each role and the technology and tools your talent requires to excel.

In the screening stages, we have meaningful discussions with the applicants before we shortlist. We will only send you those CVs that are true contenders; those candidates who will add genuine value to your business.

Ignite Digital has access to more talent.

The Ignite Digital experience goes beyond filling a staffing gap.  Our candidates become long-standing friends and come back to us time and time again when looking for their next tech, digital, or data opportunity.

We invest in the careers of our candidates. Our interest means we have a bank of passive candidates who welcome a conversation with us about further opportunities.  In this age of skills shortages, our extensive network means your next hire is just a phone call away.

Don’t just take our word for it…
