October 2010: Hattonneale advocates allowing senior executives to work more on a flexible basis with a range of companies and issues. "A research study we recently completed revealed a new phenomenoin created by the GFC - the restless executive" Hattonneale partner Jane Neale says.
"They are people who don't want to work full time for one corporation. They want to use their skills in a variety of ways and have new challenges. "We now have hundreds and hundreds of people like that on our books, including formers CEO's, marketing directors, human resources heads, all of whom are looking for project and consulting work. This offers great opportunities for firms to get around the skill shortage"
August 2010: Executive consulting and search firm Hattonneale, has today released it's latest white paper.
Australian organisations are finding it challenging to source senior executive talent in the post GFC marketplace. Talent shortages at the most senior levels and shifting employee sentiment have impacted even the highest echelons of organisations. It is no longer a buyers market.
Businesses also face a shallow talent pool, some would suggest a drought, even though the GFC was widely believed to be filling up the talent pool as companies cut deeply; the percentage of quality candidates remains low.
