Hanging Tough
People Management's Carly Chynoweth talks to Jo Sellwood, Managing Director, Strategi Search and Selection about the the current economic climate, in April 2009.
In this article, Jo Sellwood talks about the importance of relationships and how concentrating on existing partnerships will help to prepare both agencies and clients for the upturn.
She says that forward-thinking companies are using the relative quiet of the recession to plan their talent management strategy for the future. Sellwood believes that agencies can help by advising them and by establishing relationships with potential candidates.
She added that companies don't want to get to the stage where the market turns and they have positions that they cannon fill. When the market turns, it will do so incredibly quickly.
