Hiring in a talent-short market is tough. Keeping the people you hire is just as hard, and keeping your staff engaged is a daily challenge for most employers. These problems are linked. A business that attracts the wrong people, or onboards them badly, will struggle to keep them.
Dove & Hawk has many years’ experience of helping property businesses with all three. Our consultancy and recruitment services can be tailored to large listed businesses and to new start-ups that want to get it right from day one.
Where to start
Several elements need to work together: your employer value proposition, your recruitment strategy and your employee onboarding, among others. Our consultants will help you work out which you need first.
Questions to ask about your business
Use these questions to assess where you stand today:
- Values: do you attract people whose values align with the company’s?
- Strategy: do you have a specific plan to meet this year’s hiring objectives?
- Pay: are your current employees correctly paid for their role and the market? Our market benchmarking can tell you.
- Marketing: do you have the materials to attract candidates, such as job adverts, a careers page and a clear story about working for you?
- Onboarding: what happens to a new starter between accepting your offer and the end of their first few months?
If you can’t answer one of these with confidence, start there.
What we do
We start by listening. We talk to you about your hiring plans, where you lose people and what your team says about working for you. We then recommend practical changes, ranked by impact, and help you put them in place. The work can stand alone or run alongside a live recruitment campaign.
