proactive in reaching out.
The shift in mindset is slow…
The use of technology in recruiting.

At Deloitte, 83 per cent of the consultancy firm’s 16,000 UK
employees use agile working — working from home or elsewhere when
it suits them, and the business.
Companies are also embracing the idea of collaborative working, in
which they share office space with each other. Regus, which
provides shared and serviced offices, has 300 sites in the UK
serving 250,000 businesses including Uber. Clients can
pay-as-they-go from £15 per person per day.
