Navigating Through a Recession

Navigating through a Recession

2023 is here and the year looms ahead. In normal years, Quarter 1 would be a struggle for recruitment anyway but 2023 looks to be no normal year. The dreaded R word keeps being thrown around. Recession, Recession, Recession. It’s all you will hear on the news and social media. They key is to not panic. Not to stress about things that you cannot control. The key is to plan, prepare and Pro1 it.

Flexibility

During a recession, flexibility is vital. With uncertainties and unpredictability, you need to be able to call an audible and stay ahead of the curve. This is where agency use can be so valuable. Short term staffing needs are the foundation of recruitment agencies. Our contracts and workers can be based on the principle that it will be short term work to cover any peak requirements. Cancellations can happen at any time and if you suddenly find yourself in a position where you need to let go staff, having agency workers on your books will provide the flexibility to chop and change requirements. You will not be locked in to a long term contract and depending on your situation, you can quickly and easily increase or decrease your requirements.

Strong Workforce

During difficult times, the team around you needs to be strong, resilient and on the same page. When budgets are tight, you want to make sure your team is full of star players and there are no loose ends. Your recruitment process needs to be as efficient as possible, making sure that when you do need to expand your workforce, you are making the right hire.
