The Candidate Shortage Crisis: What Recruitment Leaders Miss
75% of global employers can’t find skilled talent — yet most recruitment agencies are still competing for the same 30% of active candidates on job boards. That’s not bad luck. That’s a broken strategy.
The Candidate Shortage Crisis: What Recruitment Leaders Miss
The recruitment market has fundamentally shifted, and the agencies winning in 2026 aren’t working harder — they’re working a completely different model. If your fill rate is stuck between 20–30%, if your consultants are burning out on dead roles, and if your pipeline feels reactive rather than strategic, this masterclass is for you.
Howard Greenwood and Dave Pye from Jump Advisory Group break down exactly why the traditional contingency model is failing recruitment leaders right now — and what the top-performing agencies are doing instead.
In this masterclass, you’ll discover:
• Why 70% of the best candidates are passive — and how to access them before your competitors
• The exact data audit to run tomorrow that reveals whether your agency has actually adapted to the new market
• How to build talent pools that generate placements 3–6 months ahead of the competition
• Why your KPIs are quietly destroying your team’s performance and what to measure instead
• The 5 levers of candidate magnetism — and which ones most agency owners are dangerously weak on
• Why candidate attrition is the invisible cost draining your business (and how to stop it)
• The one-hour exercise to identify your 10 most placeable candidates and turn them into billings this quarter
