What’s the state of recruiting + careers in Ireland?
John Murphy is here to give us a global perspective and expand our view of the job market around the world.
John On the State of Recruiting in Ireland
First of all, what America is facing as an employer-driven market is happening in Ireland as well.
In Ireland, most companies have their headquarters in Dublin and the aggressive market presents great opportunities for young people.
According to John, the pressure in the recruitment processes is centered on salaries. Companies and organizations offer a lot upfront, and so the potential employees have the decision to either take the offer or not. This becomes a problem in the long run because these companies are unable to retain their staff, including Pharmaceutical companies.
How Is the Marketplace in France and Ireland Compared to The US In Terms of Talent And Equity?
John stated that these days, the market attracts young people as Covid has made remote jobs more accessible. The Native Digital generation prefers to work from home because they get to dictate how they work and the pay they receive.
The downside to this (experienced especially by companies like manufacturing companies where certain tasks are better carried out onsite) is that the employees express displeasure whenever they have to be physically present.
"Equity doesn't mean that you treat everyone equally, it means that you treat everyone for the roles they are in and the experience they bring to the table". – John Murphy
What About Leadership is Most Important:
With the rise of self-proclaimed leaders all over our communities and social media spaces, it's beginning to seem like being a leader is an easy task. There are numerous materials on the subject matter by unfamiliar people and it's sometimes difficult to filter the right ones.
"The name ‘Manager’ comes with a title, but the name ‘leader’ doesn't come with a title". – John Murphy
John shared that leaders in organizations should focus on ensuring that those under them are pushed to give their 100%. A good leader should be ready to bring value to his team and organization. At the end of the day, working effectively with a team is imperative. To him, it's about creating the environment to have the kind of result he wants his team to produce.
Everyone wants to work in high performing teams but is not ready for the commitment, accountability and challenges that go into it. John implements the "7 R's" in his team; finding the right people, in the right roles, doing the right work, in the right way, with the right resources, delivering the right results. This has helped him be as effective a leader as possible.
