Welcome to our HR insights

magazine for HR Professionals

Welcome to our quarterly HR magazine with insights from HR

professionals in Dorset and Hampshire.

Headline findings over 2018* have revealed that many HR professionals believe leaders in their organisation don’t have the behaviours and skills needed to get the best from their people. Their technical, financial and operational competence is high, but many leaders are deemed ineffective at performance management, people management and developing people.

With this in mind, this quarter we are discussing how to get the most out

of coaching within your organisation and how it can really transform your success, and get the best out of your people. We explore why creativity and innovation in the workplace is so important, top benefits of HR analytics and how to get started, and we touch on team building and incentives and how they can make a massive impact on your business.

We also have details about our latest HR seminars as we move toward the end of summer 2018. If you would like to be involved in our next issue of HR Insights, we would love to hear from you, give us a call on 01202 233777.

Industry news

- a snapshot of the employment market

“It couldn’t be a better time to find a new role, we have seen a 12% rise in Permanent job placements since this time last year. We continually keep track of industry trends to help us prepare for the changes that lie ahead and it’s exciting to see such buoyancy in the industry which we predict is only set to continue”.

The increase we have seen in job-seekers successfully placed into new roles compared to a year ago also shows a growing demand from local employers for additional staff to support their business plans for the remainder of 2018 and into 2019. The quality of candidates that employers are looking for still remains as high. Companies are no longer focused on just providing a good salary, recognising that employees value flexibility, benefits and opportunities to progress and shape a successful career is just as important for attracting and retaining the best talent.

We are still finding that increasing numbers of companies are choosing to work in partnership with a recruitment consultancy to help them find not only the best talent to hire, but also the best fit for their company culture.”

It’s a positive picture for job seekers and employers this year in the South West. Contact us today to see what your next rewarding career move could look like for 2018 and how we can help you secure it. Bournemouth - 01202 233777 or Southampton 02380 173655

Bond Williams on Gender pay split

With the Gender pay gap a hot topic at present, we looked into our figures and have found from our most recent permanent placements that:

• 114 (45%) were Male (average salary offered from clients £28,611) • 139 (55%) were Female (average salary offered from clients £23,598)

In the IT space:

Of the above 253 perm placements 67 were in the IT/digital space:

• 9 Female (15.5%) - average salary offered from clients £39,500 • 58 Male (84.5%) - average salary offered from clients £32,177

So although there were fewer women in IT jobs they were taking higer-paid more senior roles compared to their male counterparts.

In temporary recruitment, placements are still predominantly female with a 64%/36% split, female to male on placements this year to date.

Robert Bond, Director at Bond Williams Professional Recruitment comments on the positive outlook for jobs and companies hiring in the area.

Bond Williams expands in Southampton

Following the successful opening of its Southampton office in April this year, Bond Williams Professional Recruitment has welcomed three new members to the team based at Ocean Village Innovation Centre.

Branch Manager, Carole Connor, was appointed in July and has recently been joined by recruitment consultants, Chris Osbon and Rachel Marshall.

Carole has worked in various account and business management roles within the recruitment sector for more than 20 years. Her achievements include the successful development and growth of entire temporary and permanent divisions, and she brings with her a wealth of knowledge of not only the local job market, but also HR and commercial strategy.

Chris has over 11 years’ recruitment experience across a wide range of industries and his consultative approach means he is the go-to consultant for many long-standing clients whenever they need talented individuals sourced for their businesses.

Rachel specialises in temporary and permanent placements within the commercial sector and an in-depth knowledge of the local market, which she has built over the past 13 years.

The team will drive the growth of the client and candidate base in the Southampton area and beyond while continuing to expand, building a motivated team of recruitment consultants.

Claire Bond, Director, says:

“We are thrilled to welcome Carole, Chris and Rachel to the team to support our continued growth across the south of England. Our new offices in Southampton are perfectly placed for us to build and strengthen existing relationships with our clients, provide an even better service to businesses and job-seekers in the Hampshire area.

“All of them have extensive recruitment experience within a variety of sectors and proven track-records for building excellent relationships. We look forward to taking Bond Williams Professional Recruitment to the next level together.”
