In an increasingly candidate-driven marketplace, training companies need to carefully define their offerings and take an innovative approach to recruitment.

Indicators show that the continuing candidate shortage, which proved even more acute in 2006 than the previous year, is continuing throughout 2007. Indeed, many experts are predicting that the trend is likely to accelerate.

In an increasingly candidate-driven marketplace, companies need to carefully define their offerings and take an innovative approach to recruitment. This is very true of the training industry, an increasingly competitive sector, where attracting the right people can make a significant difference to the bottom line.

As the UK's specialist provider of recruitment services focused exclusively within the training and e-learning sector, Blue Eskimo (www.blueeskimo.com) works alongside clients to not only search for and identify the right calibre of individual but also look at ways to attract a better quality of candidate.

We provide impartial advice that can help attract the highest calibre of candidates, giving our clients a competitive edge."
