What is Conscious Recruitment?

Conscious recruitment is more than filling positions; it’s a deliberate process that aligns your hiring needs with the most suitable candidates, reducing turnover and building a more cohesive, motivated workforce. It’s about seeing beyond the CV and understanding both the technical skills and personal qualities that fit your company’s culture and mission. In this session, Enable will guide you through a conscious recruitment model designed specifically to match the right candidates to the right roles.

Why Conscious Recruitment Matters to Your Business

Finding employees who fit your business culture and bring the right mix of skills and potential can be challenging. Traditional recruitment often results in costly turnover, wasted time, and mismatched expectations. Conscious recruitment changes the game, allowing you to:

• Accurately Forecast Staffing Needs: Understand your workforce’s future needs. Whether you’re scaling or adapting to changes, Enable’s team will help you forecast and identify which roles will be essential, ensuring you have the right team in place for success.
• Dissect the Skills Needed for Success: Not all roles require the same set of skills, and identifying both technical and soft skills is crucial. Enable will help you break down job requirements, making it easier to identify the key competencies and qualities your business needs.
• Expand Your Recruitment Reach: With training on how to broaden your recruitment net, you’ll learn how to reach talent from diverse backgrounds, skill sets, and life experiences. Conscious recruitment doesn’t just fill a role; it builds a team. You’ll gain insights into expanding your search to ensure a diverse, balanced workforce that enhances your company’s resilience and adaptability.
