STRATEGIC RECRUITMENT IN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN

Talent continues to be scarce, in Thailand and in other places around the globe. Therefore companies should put an ad hoc periscope process and funds in place to swiftly identify and attract  new  “talent”. Smart organizations are indeed capitalizing on this crisis window and turning it into an opportunity by keeping steady with selective recruiting of the very best talent that is now uniquely available in the market.

Companies have more opportunities to select top contributors because of a higher supply in the market. The rising supply is coming from two sources: staff of foreign TOP TIER companies in Thailand, and Thai offshore employees returning from abroad due to the economic crisis in the US and Europe.

First in evidence are the previously unreachable elites, who have worked for foreign banks, investment funds, brokers, overseas: they have come back to work in Thailand due to the Western crisis (and to enjoy the Thai way of life) 

And other sectors will follow suit shortly, as we see every day from our spontaneous applicants’ pool!!!

Like in the stock market, down markets represent an opportunity to “buy” talent strategically in the open market to build a long-term pipeline that can withstand future needs.

Appointing a ‘ broker of talent’ like Gemini Thailand will allow you to have a periscope up, on the lookout for what talent is surfacing on the market.
