Why sector-specific recruitment?
78% of SMEs face recruitment difficulties, but these challenges vary significantly by sector. A recruiter in manufacturing faces different issues than one in healthcare or construction. Each sector has its own required qualifications, specific talent shortages, adapted recruitment processes and regulatory constraints.
