The hiring process is an important stage, however, it is a time-consuming process. As an employer, it can be tiring having to sort through applications to decide which candidates have the qualifications needed for your job opening.

The labour market is currently tight and competitive, so companies that take action to close the gender pay gap will become more attractive as a workplace, particularly for women. Two-thirds of women take the gender pay gap into account when considering applying for a new job, and 58% of women would therefore be less likely to recommend their present employer if they had a pay gap. This showcases that companies must do more to tackle this current pay gap.

Apprenticeships for both new and existing staff, are a cost-effective way for your company to grow talent, especially when developing a motivated and skilled team. There are many benefits to hiring apprentices in your organisation, from bringing in new skills to improving productivity, it is no secret that apprenticeships are becoming an attractive choice for both employers, those looking to start their careers and people looking to switch careers.
