There’s no doubt that the way businesses around the UK are looking at their recruitment strategy is now very different than maybe a few months ago, which isn’t music to the ears of candidates searching for roles. 

However, there are still steps candidates can take to ensure they’re still in the hunt for a role in the near future. We’ve covered the need to brush up CV’s and how you can stand out to recruiters. A new way to gain new tips and stay motivated could be listening to a podcast. All podcasts are different in the tone and message they send to the listener; so finding what’s for you may not be the easiest task.
