Update

At Cottrell Moore, we are very happy to announce the introduction to blogs. In November we have been working hard to provide you with a new way of finding out information from the world of HR and Recruitment.

Over on our website we have published all of our existing monthly newsletters as well as some topical and important issues that we believe deserve to be written about.

We will still be posting our newsletters across all channels as well as the website!

Top Tip Tuesday has been a regular feature across all of our Social Media pages and we are excited to be adding a spin on this over the next four weeks!

We understand that for job seekers, getting an interview can be full of mixed emotions. Relief, excitement and also slightly nerve-racking. Prepping for interviews is a great way to reduce these nerves but where do you start? We thought it would be a great idea to offer you tips each Tuesday for the next month all about prepping for interviews!

The first and second edition is now available to read! Just head over to any of our Social Media and you will find it!

New Year, New Recruitment Goals

As we head into 2025 It is important that we start to set goals for the upcoming year ahead. Having recruitment goals can be a great addition to your list. Whether that means you want to improve upon your interview experiences for candidates or you want to find new ways of searching for top talent. In this last section of our newsletter we will be providing you with some potential ideas that you can use as part of a list of recruitment goals for your company!

Preparing for New Trends

With a new year there is always going to be new trends. So with that in mind try to hire candidates with a skillset that can help you stay on top of them.

New technologies like artificial intelligence are pushing industries to new lengths, companies need experts in these areas to innovate and maintain relevancy. Try and think about what roles could be a great addition to your team with this in mind.

Improving the interview experience

Offer flexible options, like evening or virtual slots. This can be a great to way to improve your interview experiences. Implementing this in 2025 is a great first step.

A great interview experience shows candidates they’re valued. Be clear about the process, respectful of their time, and friendly during the interview. Follow up quickly with decisions or feedback to leave a positive impression, whether they get the job or not. Doing this can ensure that your company maintains a great image as well as showing respect to the candidate.

Embrace Remote Work

The rise of hybrid and remote work models is reshaping the job market. Employees increasingly value flexibility. Adjust recruitment strategies to attract remote talent, offering clear policies and support for remote workers. Think about the benefits and what this could mean for the future of your business.

Find new ways of searching for top talent

Utilise the use of Social Media. Job boards are great but there is always alternative ways to reach a wide range of talent and making the most of your social media channels is a great way to do this. By posting vacancies onto your platforms, you can receive interest from loads of potential candidates and not just those who look through job boards! It is a more modern approach on finding new hires and it is something you should try in 2025!
