Jan 7

About This Episode

Today’s guest is David Dand, Managing Director of Coreus, the Brighton based Talent Acquisition agency. I had the pleasure of being introduced to David through a mutual friend, previous podcast guest, Dougal Fleming. If you haven’t already listened to that episode I highly recommend it.

Dougal encouraged David and I to have a conversation, and that David has a wonderful story to share.

In our conversation, David offers valuable insights into:

The five-step framework he uses when leading a candidate search to understand fit and motivation;
What you need to know about changing career and recruitment;
Navigating career changes and your next big step;
Hiring tips for leaders to ensure you have the right people in the right roles.

David’s three top tips for leaders looking to either make their next big move and, or ensuring that they make the right hire:

1. Use the 5-step framework:

Consider salary and benefits
Convenience
Culture and brand reputation
The day-to-day job
Training and career progression

2. Remember the stakes are high:

There are Soft & hard turnover costs, replacement & job hopping.

3. Embrace individuality through knowing:

What your key skills and strengths are
What the conditions are for you to thrive
What Great looks and feels like, just because something is great doesn’t mean it is great for you!

About The 5 Step Career Change Framework

A framework to help you understand career change and motivation, either for yourself or when you are hiring others to understand best fit.

The five essentials are:

1. Salary & benefits

There is more to life than money.
And we have bills to pay. Responsibilities. Wants & needs.
Benefits: I work with an investment firm that offers a 20% pension contribution.

2. Convenience

Work-life balance
Ability to manage work around your caring commitments, for example picking up children from school.
Work/life/harmony: Why, just because I am an accountant should I not have a weekend?
