Salary will attract. Flexibility is what’ll ensure they say yes. Learning and development is what makes most stay.
Candidates aren’t just looking for a job, they’re looking for growth. Couple that with a lot of uncertainty and an evolving landscape in the profession, candidates are more keen to learn and upskill than ever before.
Candidates want:
✅ Mentoring, training and opportunities to upskill
✅ Leaders who actively support training and CPD
✅ A culture that values learning
✅ Clear progression pathways
This doesn’t always mean formal qualifications or expensive training, sometimes it’s:
🗣️ Regular 1 to 1s
📚 In-house training workshops on key challenges
💬 Honest conversations about long-term goals
🎯 Exposure to new challenges, key clients or other parts of the business
Right now, people are chasing progress, purpose, and the chance to become even better at what they do. Lean into this as an employer and feel the benefit of an empowered, grateful, highly skilled workforce too.
