Operational talent is an important part of the business ecosystem. Industries requiring operational talent within their sectors continue to have a clear need for the right people, at the right time, in the required quantities and with the necessary skills.
While pay is always a critical incentive for attracting and retaining desirable candidates, Randstad Workmonitor research shows that deskless workers are seeking more than money in their career choices. Specifically, they want a job that complements their skills, supports work-life balance, and powers career goals, whether it’s a permanent, temp or contract role. Furthermore, part-time talent are seeking permanent roles that they can grow into.
When recruiting operational talent, consider the whole spectrum of the employee value proposition to attract, hire, and retain workers.
