Horsefly Talent Analytics Insights

Successful organizations all have one thing in common: they know that the key to winning in an increasingly challenging market lies within recruiting the best talent available. However, whereas successful organizations used to get by recruiting within just their local metropolitan area, today’s more competitive talent market paired with more flexible working arrangements has both enabled and necessitated that businesses work to attract talent from a broader geographic area across the globe. 

From labor shortages to hiring freezes, understanding the external labor market versus the internal talent marketplace within an organization is paramount to determining whether or not to invest internally or externally to fill open roles or new positions. When organizations find themselves needing to fill an open position, they often default to primarily sourcing talent from outside of their existing employee population.

Horsefly Analytics undertook an extensive survey of US and UK-based HR, TA professionals, business strategists, recruiters, and other stakeholders to gain insight into how they handle recruitment’s most pressing issues. Our respondents were from various industries, including healthcare, technology, recruitment agencies, the public sector, and financial institutions. The survey aimed to uncover how businesses prepare for the future of Talent Acquisition and which strategies create a pipeline of diverse leaders, managers, and specialists.

We are thrilled to kick off 2023 in the best way possible by introducing new features for our Horsefly 4.0 clients: longitudinal supply and demand data and prescriptive commentary.

There is a lot of talk about the latest phase of recovery from the covid period. Have you noticed how everything is preceded by “Great.” Currently, the most popular term and discussion point goes under the label of “the great resignation”. It was where they were moved to post “the great rehire”, which followed “the great lock down.” Everything, it seems, has to be great, but is this great resignation really what it seems, or is it best described as “hyperbole.”
