Synergi Recruitment have been supporting UK businesses with their growth plans for over 20 years. Here are our top five recruitment strategies for 2025.

1. Improve your Employer Value Proposition (EVP)

Your EVP is your “why” for candidates. Once you have a clear understanding of your authentic and unique EVP, share this consistently throughout your website and recruitment messaging.

To start, ask yourself these questions:

• Why should a candidate want to join your team?
• What can you offer that competitors can’t?
• What makes your company a great place to work?

Three ways to improve your EVP:

• Everything from Diversity, Equality and Inclusion initiatives to inclusive hiring practices can help your business stand out against others.
• With evolving skills, looking internally to improve Learning and Development opportunities can help you appeal to the best most career-driven talent.
• Ensuring your remuneration package is optimised for the talent you’re looking to recruit.

If you’re struggling, we can work with you to build your unique selling point as an employer – utilising our understanding of candidate expectations. Our salary surveys and market insights can be your competitive edge to secure top talent.

2. Enhance your Candidate Experience

A good candidate experience can expedite onboarding and minimise costs. Making sure all candidates are communicated with transparently throughout is essential to avoid losing top candidates before the offer stage. An enhanced candidate experience will have your new team member ‘ready to go’ from their first day!

Work with Synergi Recruitment as your preferred recruitment partner, and:

• Streamline your application process
• Communicate transparently throughout
• Give the candidates as much information about the day-to-day responsibilities as possible
• Deliver an enjoyable interview experience
• Provide feedback to unsuccessful applicants

3. Be active on Social Media

Showcase your culture on your social media accounts such as LinkedIn or Instagram. These platforms give you the easy ability to showcase what working in your business would look like.

Finding a new hire who fits in with your culture is an often overlooked candidate attribute. It can hold as much important as finding a candidate that has the skills you require.

4. Digital-first Recruitment

If you’re looking for tech-first candidates, ensuring your recruitment is digital-first is fundamental. With 94% of UK citizens being smartphone users, we optimise our recruitment processes to incorporate digital entry points to help you reach the most jobseekers. We make sure your job postings are easily accessible and submittable on mobile devices.

5. Create New Roles to Hire Niche Specialists

Did you know? Automation roles are expected to transform 58% of employer’s businesses by 2030 (Future of Jobs Report 2025, World Economic Forum)

Creating new roles is vital as we continue through the skills evolution wave brought about by AI and other advanced technologies. Skillsets in areas such as robotics, AI, and data analytics are growing, and it’s imperative to build this into your team.

Where upskilling your current team isn’t possible, due to capacity or capability constraints, hiring externally becomes the ideal solution. Bringing in new team members with new skills develops your manufacturing productivity, by ensuring technology is utilised to its fullest potential. These new team members can also, in turn, support in driving the development of your existing team.
