The Government has launched initiatives to help get 350,000 young people into work.
The number of young people out of work during the three months to September 2011 rose by 67,000. The total is the highest since comparable records began 19 years ago.
I believe the role we have in our work with HR Directors is in the provision of business solutions and we do this through the people-element of the business.
As communications and commerce rely even more on digital medias, I pose the question in following question in this month’s blog:
How can Mobile & Video can help secure the pick of the crop of top talent for you?
At David Alan, we take great care in our talent hunting – our due diligence, fast results, the right result first time, our reputation and unique video interview technique is what we are well known for.

David Alan Consultants, on the hunt for exceptional talent on your behalf
According to a new report out this month, The Graduate Market in 2011 produced by High Fliers Research, it revealed the analysis of graduate vacancies and starting salaries at Britain’s 100 leading employers, and the report suggested that lack of work experience is affecting graduates and their successful job placements.
Niki’s piece on interviewers not being up for the job of recruiting well caught my eye, as it would, being a professional in the recruitment industry, living and working in the Capital, an avid reader of the Evening Standard and an expert talent hunter on a mission to ensure the best candidates are placed right first time.
In her piece, in the paper last week, Niki quoted some of the strangest interview questions; here are some she used, below:
As a consultant I like to be tested by interviewees and I recently came across similar themes in a blog from James Caan that was published via the Entrepreneurs’ Business Academy blog, an organisation of which I am a member.
I thought that the points he made were so on message and relevant and it is my pleasure to share them with you here:
We receive many testimonials from our clients and it is my pleasure to share this one in our blog.
“I am a freelance artist and like most artists, in order to meet the cost of living, I must work a ‘real job’. I’ve a lot to thank the temping world for; it’s paid my bills, kept a roof over my head and put food on my table. In the five years that I have been temping, I have worked for a number of agencies – one of them once referred to me as a ‘career temp’ (a hard term – hard to swallow but true). So when David Alan asked me to tell them about my experience from the ‘other side’ I felt more than qualified!
I’ve just returned from a trip to South Africa and while the holiday was great, I have to admit, I’happy to be back at work. Yes, I’m one of those ‘love your job types’ and I count myself lucky to be like this.
I really like the people side of my industry. From meeting new clients to reconnecting with past candidates, I enjoy finding out what makes people tick.
I’m really thrilled to announce the arrival of the new David Alan Consultants Video Interviewing!
This new facility for us sees one of my goals for our business come true!
Video Interviewing is all about convenience and saving time – for employers and employees. These qualities are at the heart of what we do. Everyday.
