In the retirement village sector, recruitment traditionally followed a reactive approach, filling roles as they opened up. However, with national unemployment dipping below 4%, businesses are now facing a fiercely competitive labour market. Consequently, the hunt for top talent has intensified, requiring a more proactive recruitment strategy.

According to James, effective recruitment goes beyond posting ads on platforms like SEEK. DCM Executive Recruitment employs specialized practices to unearth candidates who might otherwise go unnoticed.
Speaking at the LEADERS SUMMIT, James emphasized the importance of tapping into talent with transferable skills and showcasing the unique opportunities within the retirement living sector.
