Leonid’s Jamie Browne hosted a panel discussion today at the Sanctions & Export Compliance conference in London, hosted by Nielsonsmith Ltd. , alongside Melissa Sugrue from Zebra Technologies and Andrea Goffi from Boeing. The panel focused on a number of hot topics in this session entitled ”Bridging the Talent Gap”, including which roles and skills are in high demand right now and what employers must do to attract and retain talent. The key takeaway: Today’s candidates are looking for clear career pathways, training opportunities and a positive company culture, as well as attractive salary packages. And, crucially, compliance must be treated as a strategic function. #tradecompliancecareers

⚠️ "Recency bias" can be a very real issue in recruitment. ⚠️ But the good news is, there is something which can really help to mitigate it: video shortlists. 📹 What exactly is recency bias? Recency bias is a cognitive bias where we subconsciously favour recent information or experiences over older ones. In recruitment, this manifests as: ⬆️ Overvaluing the last interviewees compared to those interviewed days (or even just hours) earlier. 😶🌫️ Forgetting key strengths or attributes of earlier candidates. ⚠️ Making decisions based on memory impressions, rather than objective comparison. For roles where multiple rounds of interviews take place, recency bias can compound, leaving businesses at risk of overlooking excellent candidates. This is just one of many reasons why video shortlists are exceptionally helpful in the recruitment process. You can go back and view the videos at any time, and compare candidates side-by-side, as often as you want to.
