Why is it that so'25% of'recruiters are finding their time and resource spent on reactive rather than strategic issues? (Source: Tomorrow People) It's not just down to the changing job market ' though that is an important factor in the equation.

The drain on time: Recruiters are spending a lot of their time reacting to issues as they arise.

This significant drain can be reversed by fitting all activities within a clear strategy - from advertising a vacancy to scheduling in time to deal with any issues that arise with an individual'recruitment campaign.
