SWITCH RECRUIT - THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY

Today's professionals are looking beyond the payslip and carefully considering the long-term value and security an employer can offer.

Employers often assume that a competitive salary is enough to secure top talent. In reality, candidates are weighing up a much broader range of factors before accepting an offer. Flexible working arrangements, supportive leadership, growth opportunities, and confidence in the company's future can be just as influential as remuneration.

The best candidates are often not scrolling job boards or actively applying, they’re busy succeeding where they are.

Tapping into the passive market gives businesses access to experienced professionals who may be open to the right opportunity, even if they weren’t planning a move. Recruitment is no longer just about who’s applying; it’s about who’s willing to listen.

Did you know the 3-month rule for labour brokers has been in place since 2015? Under Section 198A of the Labour Relations Act, if a temporary employee earning below the threshold works for more than three months without a valid temporary reason, they are legally “deemed” to be an employee of the client, not the labour broker. This means they must be treated on par with permanent staff, and the client carries the employment risk.
