Are you Ready to Recruit?

Recruitment Trends for 2016 Northern Ireland

Despite the uncertainty in press reports, online, and seemingly everywhere we look about the potential impact of the National Living Wage, the local assembly elections and of course we can’t forget the Brexit, we are finding more clients are ready to recruit. Manufacturers, the long standing stalwart of the Northern Ireland economy and tourism, are focused on the future and strengthening their senior management teams.

With a constantly growing database of over 50,000 candidates, our talent team are sourcing more high calibre professionals looking for a new challenge. Skill shortages and the number of graduates NI export every year always make good headlines, but we’re now starting to see an increasing number of registrations from experienced professionals wanting to return home to enjoy the NI lifestyle and use their experience to contribute to the growth of the economy.

The Riada team is growing in line with this demand, with new additions in our permanent recruitment team. We currently have live vacancies for director and senior management level and Riada continue to provide a trusted service to companies throughout Northern Ireland, UK and Europe across all industries.

So why is demand growing for recruitment agencies?

The most common reason given to us by Employers is the lack of available experienced applicants coming forward, they report often having to go to the market multiple times, costing them valuable time and money. Writer Jason Collings article ‘The True Cost of Hire’ explains how having a good agency can decrease the time it takes to hire by up to 2 weeks. Our clients are reaping the benefits of our expertise and ability to source the best talent.

As one of the largest independently owned recruitment agencies in Northern Ireland, we are not only profit and target driven, we care and work hard to deliver more that just people. Sourcing high calibre professionals with a no placement, no fee policy - we keep searching the talent pool until we find the best fit for the individual and the business.

We listen to you so we understand your business, your business needs, the role and the attributes you require. We search for the best candidate to fit into the job role and your company culture. We deliver and become your recruitment partner.

Riada is firmly focused on the future and committed to drive Northern Irish companies to fulfill their strategic objectives.
