What strategy are you using to grow your business?

“The best chance to deploy capital is when things are going down” –– Warren Buffett.



Why?  Great companies are often undervalued in line with the markets which over time will deliver higher returns.

Currently, the UK is going through a downturn.

Companies looking to and needing to grow their teams are holding their breath.

Why?

Because taxes connected with business and employing staff are increasing.

Employers I speak with in London, want to grow their business but want clarity of the financial position. So most ‘hold their breath’. Teams and management can feel stretched.

Surviving not thriving seems to be the accepted norm.

Is this a good strategy?

I’m not so sure from what I see and hear.

I made a call recently to Jason (name changed for privacy) following his application to Growing Talent. His professional, niche experience didn’t seem to fit the ‘usual’ applicant.

But these are not ‘usual’ times.

Jason explained his background in capital markets covering investment banking, financial communications and consultancy in sustainability. He has helped executive teams build reputational trust.

I explained the ethos of Growing Talent, type of employers and roles we usually have. His response was – “I’m open minded to have a chat, aren’t the employers too?  There could be a match on the skills and experience I bring to the areas they want to grow their business”?

He’s absolutely right!

The world is changing. Businesses waiting for the right time to grow can miss great talent like Jason.

As a business looking to recruit new talent, why not attend our event in September close to London Bridge? It costs nothing and you could find some hidden gems!

Stop holding your breath and join us.  What have you got to lose?

If you aren’t recruiting but know contacts who are, why not share this opportunity with them now?
