In this webinar we will be joined by Chairman of REED, James Reed, and three other members of the senior leadership team to discuss how you can attract and retain talent in 2021.

Recent research by REED revealed that there are more people in employment looking for work now than prior to March 2020 because of their company’s actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase, added to the large number of people currently out of work in the UK, makes the jobs market extremely candidate-rich and means many talented individuals are available for organisations who are looking to recruit.

But how do you ensure that your company is recruiting and retaining the best talent? With jobseekers actively looking for competitive salaries and benefits, your business needs to ensure it can offer the best to beat the competition.

At the beginning of January, REED released its annual salary guides – based on data from the UK’s number 1 jobsite, reed.co.uk, examining 6.5 million jobs over the past 3 years to bring companies the most reliable salary data available.

Our panel, which along with entrepreneur James Reed will consist of Chris Adcock, Managing Director of Reed Technology, Claire Harvey, Managing Director of Reed’s Core Network and Lucie Daluiso, Divisional Managing Director of Reed Further Education, will discuss salaries and benefits and the state of the market in their specialist areas.

So, if you are responsible for recruitment in your company, or want to know how to attract and retain the best talent in your team, sign up to this event. Not only will you receive an abundance of advice, you will also have the opportunity to put your questions to the panel in an interactive Q&A session.

Following the event, you will receive a link to the REED salary guides and the webinar to help you make an informed choice on how your company can thrive during 2021.
