Should employers take 'going green' seriously?
‘Going green’ is no longer a bi-product of company culture.
Sustainability has become a prominent factor across many sectors and the recruitment industry is no different.
The ethical practices adopted by employers could be the difference between a candidate applying for a position or looking elsewhere. Now more than ever, adopting sustainable frameworks should be a priority for businesses who don’t want the quality of their applicants to be affected by their green-credentials.
Here’s a quick round up:
- 93% of perspective candidates say that their employer must act sustainably.
- 71% are looking to work for a sustainably minded employer.
- 62% ask about sustainability in interviews.
