The Irish Food Trade Connect Forum on LinkedIn: Talking LIVE with Valerie O' Connell MIHI from Choice People. Tune in for… (2024)

Thanks to those who have pointed out that National Fish and Chip Day got moved from it's usual spot and brought forward a day - meaning it was yesterday, and we missed it! To be honest even had we realised it wouldn't have made the cut yesterday as there was something far more important going on. But we've gone to the trouble of tenuously linking a fish supper to recruitment, and figure at least it will stand out against all the national doughnut day posts, so we're just gonna leave it here...Today is a day of celebration, recognising tradition and culture in the form of British cuisine - the classic fish and chips 🐟🍟 There's no surprise that there's a national day dedicated to the iconic dish (after all, there's a national day for everything), and as avid fish and chip fans it would be rude not to acknowledge the importance of today with the only way we know how - by listing the similarities between fish & chips and recruiting the perfect candidate: 🧂 Ingredients matter - just like the right condiments make the meal, selecting a candidate with the right skills can make the job 🎣 The right catch - to get the best quality fish you need some appealing bait, use this to make your job ad to stand out (benefits are a good place to start) 🍴 Presentation is key - a well presented dish is an important factor, and just like a well presented candidate matters, so does an employer So if you want to tick all the boxes above and ensure you're getting the right catch for the job, then get in touch today.

Late last year, developed a series of case reports for the National Fund for Workforce Solutions featuring leaders in the job quality space. We highlighted Paradise Tomato Kitchens - Signature Sauce. Signature Service, a manufacturer of custom-made tomato and pepper-based sauces for restaurants and food manufacturers, that was dealing with high turnover. Their creative strategy of implementing checkpoint interviews allowed employees to feel supported and helped alleviate turnover issues. Interested to learn more about how implementing better structures created not only a better workforce but also happier employees? Check out our case report here:

Hands up if you're still hiring uncooked skills! 🙋♂️ Imagine this: You’re at a trendy new burger joint, your mouth watering at the sight of a perfectly juicy burger on the menu. You order it, and when it arrives, it's just an uncooked patty on a plate.That's what it's like when candidates list impressive skills on their CVs but can't deliver in the workplace. You need fully cooked skills, not just raw potential. Hiring shouldn't be about what looks good on paper; it should be about what actually performs.Don't settle for uncooked patties—demand the fully prepared burger. Your business deserves nothing less. P.S. If management starts organising yearly burger parties instead of pizza parties... that wasn't my intention 🤣 #skills #recruitment #humanresources #talent #talentmanagement #SouthAfrica
