#35 Recruiting in grants consultancy (part 2) - Job dating concept w. guest Sara Arryn

Recruiting consultants in the private grants consultancy sector is rough. EU R&D grants consultancy is a low-fee consulting area which affects the salaries you can pay and the conditions you can offer. On top of this, the work that it entails to be a grants consultant is rough and tough on work-life-balance. That means you really have to stand out as a company if you want to attract the right people. Ayming is a French global HR and finance consultancy company that is also involved in grants consultancy.  I invited their HR Business Partner Sara Arryn into the virtual podcast studio to a good talk about recruiting in this business. They, like everybody else within the sector, is twisting and turning to find a way to get the right people onboard. It became a long talk that resulted in two episodes. In this second part we zoom in specifically on a job dating concept Ayming has developed where all the normal recruiting procedures have been skipped and replaced by more relaxed procedures, but of course still with the focus to find the right candidates.  The episodes offers concrete tools for grants consultancy managers and HR responsibles that can help to improve the results of the resources allocated for the recruitment efforts.
