💰 Pay transparency is no longer just a “nice to have” in the hiring process.

Professionals want clarity early on - not only around salary, but around progression, flexibility, benefits and expectations too.

When businesses communicate openly from the start, it helps build stronger engagement, better candidate experiences and more informed decisions on both sides.

It’s often the smaller details around communication that shape how employers are perceived in a competitive market.

At Jo Holdsworth Recruitment, our approach goes deeper than matching CVs to job specs. We take time to understand what really matters to our clients and our candidates.

That means visiting clients on site to get a feel for their culture, team dynamics, and long-term goals. It means meeting every candidate face to face and understanding what motivates them, now and in the future.

We focus on cultural fit, softer skills and long-term impact because recruitment isn’t just about filling a vacancy. It’s about shaping businesses and helping people thrive.

Over 70% feel underpaid.

It’s a big number, but it reflects what many professionals are quietly feeling.

Pay isn’t just about salary. It can influence how supported, recognised and engaged people feel at work.

If you’re reviewing your team or thinking about your own next step, understanding the full picture really matters.

Some hires need a more considered approach.
When the role is senior, sensitive, or business-critical, relying on applications alone may not be enough.

A retained search allows for a more targeted, structured process, giving you access to the right people and the time to get it right.

If you’re weighing up your options, we’ll talk you through what works best: https://www.jhrecruitment.co.uk/senior-appointments
