We solve the challenges of Legal talent acquisition

Recruitment in the Legal industry comes with unique challenges. These can be addressed by understanding the most effective candidate sourcing channels for the sector and anticipating potential changes in hiring levels throughout the year. Eploy helps recruiters in the Legal sector tackle these challenges and streamline their recruitment processes to achieve the results they need.

What channels do recruiters in the Energy/Utilities sector use for sourcing candidates?

Organisations in the Energy/Utilities sector find a good mix of candidates on Professional Social Networks, such as LinkedIn (100%). Website/Careers Sites are also a popular sourcing channel, utilised by 92% of in-house recruiters in the sector.

83% of Energy/Utilities sector organisations turn to agencies for help in filling their vacancies, which has increased from the prior year (60%). Although this channel can help with difficult-to-fill vacancies, it affects the company’s cost of hire.

Which sourcing channels work best in the Energy/Utilities Sector?

When we look at how the Energy/Utilities Sector is succeeding with talent attraction, the Sourcing Quadrant paints an interesting picture. Specialist Job Boards and LinkedIn both attract a great balance of candidate quality and quantity. In-house recruitment teams can also attract skilled candidates through Employee Referrals; however, it offers a much smaller candidate pool.

Talent Pools/ATS/CRM also performs greatly in candidate quality and quantity, but is only utilised by 50% of recruitment teams in the Energy/Utilities sector. An untapped opportunity!

Levels of hiring in the Energy/Utilities sector for the next 12 months

In the Energy/Utilities sector, the levels of hiring in the next 12 months are expected to increase according to 42% of respondents, with 33% expecting no change and 25% citing that hiring levels will drop. The anticipated change in recruitment marketing budgets doesn’t align with the growing hiring levels, with only 25% expecting an increase and 58% anticipating no change to the budgets, meaning recruiters will have to do more with less.

When sourcing candidates, it is important that there are simple, streamlined tools that allow for recruitment on the go for all those involved. That's why, with Eploy - as well as getting an award-winning Energy/Utilities Applicant Tracking System, you get a dedicated hiring manager portal that's so easy to use your hiring managers will actually enjoy recruiting with it!

Energy/Utilities hiring challenges

Understanding the Energy/Utilities hiring challenges helps to put in place ways to address them. Candidate Scarcity and limitations related to hybrid/flexible work are the top two challenges.
