It’s a great time to reimagine how you reach out to candidates.
Board and director-level retail executives in the post-pandemic era need to be flexible and open-minded. They must be able to manage their teams along with their own work in a hybrid or remote work environment. This will require a flexible style of leadership, which enables them to communicate just as effectively online as in person. Determining whether a candidate is the right kind of leader for this new era will be crucial.
As new working practices become consolidated, retailers cannot stick to previous hiring strategies when looking for C-suite and board-level candidates. Showing your commitment to responsible business practices and setting clear sustainability targets may be central to winning over the new generation of emerging retail leaders.
But whichever strategy you adopt, planning for the future is a must. Retailers who think ahead when developing their recruitment plans are those most likely to succeed in the post-Covid world.
