An important factor we must consider is an individual’s ability to work from home effectively and peacefully. Many people have struggled with working from home due to cramped conditions and distractions and not everyone is fortunate to have that functional working space. We believe the future of good places to work will involve a small, centralised office, the technology and tools to work remotely, and also a third functional space which can be utilised by employees when their home is not a practical option.”
Matthew Evans, director at MRG commented, “When undertaking a national search campaign with an unlimited geographical remit, candidates based up and down the country, the acceptance of technology has allowed me to see more candidates and ensure a more intensive interview experience, in a shorter period of time, so I could compare and contrast candidates effectively. I was able to see candidates from Edinburgh down to Exeter in a day. Candidates who were not as committed to exploring new opportunities, proactively approaching candidates directly, historically meetings would need to happen more than once. The process did not take less time but I was able to meet a wider range of candidates as a result. Castleoak have been exceptionally forward thinking and were able to interview people from the process.”
