“In a market where talent is hard to find and even harder to
keep, your approach can be the difference between success
and failure.”
Stating the flipping obvious......?
Building Brands starts on the inside...
But why does it matter....

88% leave for reasons other than salary
60% wouldn’t recommend the company to their friends

Where to start...
Video and mobile is
supported by three key
trends.
Increased bandwidth: 75% of UK homes have
broadband access, expected to continuing growing.
The average download speed is 9Mbps.
The rise of video calling: Skype has made video
an established way of communicating. Its 250m
users worldwide rack up over 300m minutes of
video calling each day.
An applicant rich market: The current economic
climate has increased the number of applicants per
available position. This means more potential
candidates to interview.
