In fact, Ireland\u2019s economy has recovered so strongly that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cso.ie\/en\/statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employment has risen more since 2012<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than it did in the 70 years after independence. So what does this mean for the future of recruitment in Ireland? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, in my opinion there is no one better positioned to speak about this topic than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/barbara-mcgrath-614b4913\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barbara McGrath<\/a> MD of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightwater.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brightwater<\/a>. Barbara has seen a lot of change in her years within the staffing industry: from recessions, to technology, and new emerging generations along with the old. This is the industry she loves and is extremely passionate about.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote quote-single\">\r\n  <div class=\"quote-bubble\">\r\n    <span class=\"quote-text\">2009 was Armageddon and as recruiters, we became &apos;agony aunts&apos; for that period as much as we were recruiters.<\/span>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<span class=\"quote-name\">Barbara McGrath, MD of Brightwater<\/span> <span class=\"quote-company\"><\/span>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had the chance to catch up with Barbara at her Dublin office recently, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable chat about how the WEC came to be in Dublin for the third time and why it is important for Ireland to be represented on a global stage in the post-recession era. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><b>Culture<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Culture was paramount to the success of the WEC conference and as I spoke with Barbara about what culture meant to her it became clear that it is also the cornerstone of a successful business.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=%22Culture+is+key+to+keeping+your+staff+-+culture+trumps+everything%22+says+%40BarbaraMcGrath7+&#038;url=https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/eu\/blog\/ireland-recruitment-and-wec-2018\/' target='_blank'>&#8220;Culture is key to keeping your staff &#8211; culture trumps everything&#8221; says @BarbaraMcGrath7 <\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=%22Culture+is+key+to+keeping+your+staff+-+culture+trumps+everything%22+says+%40BarbaraMcGrath7+&#038;url=https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/eu\/blog\/ireland-recruitment-and-wec-2018\/' target='_blank' class='tm-ctt-btn'>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barbara is all too aware of how difficult it is to find the right staff, find good staff, and keep your staff happy. \u201cCulture goes a long way to getting this right in a successful business. Listening is the only way to stay on top of this and implementing things like work life balance, offering flexibility in the workplace all help with creating the right culture which makes your staff want to work with you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The WEC certainly got the culture piece right. From the opening ceremony that involved a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bodhr\u00e1n <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and two Irish dancers, the Irish culture was very well represented throughout the week of the conference. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Optimism<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I asked Barbara for her stand-out moment from the conference, David McWilliams\u2019 talk on the economy was top of the list. Barbara explained how the Irish are extremely optimistic and stoic people that others seem to gravitate towards. It\u2019s for this reason that she believes we are in a very strong position now and does not see the low of 2008 rearing its ugly head again. With recruitment on the coalface of the workforce, she believes that we\u2019ve learned a lot in the past 10 years and as a result have grown as an industry in Ireland. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barbara, along with her good friend and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Recruitment Federation (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NRF) colleague Geraldine King, believes that recruitment needs a voice in Ireland- it needs to be represented. The NRF was originally established to represent the recruitment industry the right way, with the ultimate goal of having a formally recognised tertiary degree course for people looking to build a career in staffing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Skills Gap<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another key takeaway theme from the conference sessions I attended was the \u2018skills gap\u2019, its impact on the workforce, and how to overcome it. Barbara too touched upon this subject, explaining that when Ireland is concerned due to being forced to move out in 2009 and 2010. \u201cIf we take an industry like engineering, these people had no choice but to move away with their families and this is evident now in the large skills gap within Ireland.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects of the 2009 recession are prevalent today, even despite the advances. \u201cIt\u2019s a constant effort trying to attract this talent back to Ireland. Looking back through the generations, you would have generation after generation following in their parent\u2019s footsteps. For example, if you came from a family of lawyers, you were going to be a lawyer\u201d Barbara adds. But of course, this is no longer the case. \u201cStaying in the one job for a whole career is a thing of the past. To fill the skills gap we are looking more and more abroad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote quote-single\">\r\n  <div class=\"quote-bubble\">\r\n    <span class=\"quote-text\">And we&apos;re always coming up with new solutions for our clients to fill their ever-growing needs. You must be flexible to deliver that incredible customer experience.<\/span>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<span class=\"quote-name\">Barbara McGrath, MD of Brightwater<\/span> <span class=\"quote-company\"><\/span>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Technology\/AI<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next topic I was keen to gain Barbara\u2019s insight into was that of new technologies and the fear that recruitment will be ended by the emergence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/eu\/blog\/2017\/01\/how-will-ai-and-machine-learning-impact-the-future-of-recruitment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI and Machine Learning.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was met with a laugh from Barbara, who firmly believes there will always be a need for people in this industry. In her opinion, technology must be incorporated by recruiters in order to stay on top in the ever-changing landscape. &#8220;We can influence things in our position as recruiters. The technology changes but you must embrace it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the MD of a very successful business Barbara speaks of the importance of investing in your business not least the ppl and the technology. It\u2019s important to understand your business from a holistic point of view. \u201cThe way in which I do this is by leveraging the data to get the reports to see what\u2019s happening across the business. This gives you the visibility required to make these important strategic business decisions\u201d Barbara goes on to say.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For more industry insights from some of the best and brightest minds in recruitment, why not come along to Bullhorn Engage London 2018?
