2024 Recruitment Resolutions: Setting Goals for Hiring Success
As we step into a brand-new year, brands in fashion, home, and beauty are buzzing with growth potential. For businesses in these exciting industries, setting recruitment goals that match the latest industry trends is key to steering your team toward success.
Setting hiring goals is not just about keeping up with trends—it's about staying one step ahead. Whether you're a brand riding the waves of seasonal changes or a store looking for top-notch talent to give customers an amazing experience, how you hire matters a lot.
First, before thinking about this year’s plans, take time to think about how last year's hiring went. What worked? What didn’t? You can learn from these experiences to help you for the year ahead. Some hiring strategies may have led you to fantastic talent, while others might've missed the mark. These reflections can guide us in making our hiring process better.
Celebrate Diversity in Hiring
Companies thrive when diversity is prioritized, not just in what they offer but also in the folks they bring on board. So, take the proper steps to make your hiring goals diverse too—look for talent from all walks of life. Having a team with different backgrounds and perspectives sparks fresh ideas, creativity, and connects better with a diverse customer base.
Being Flexible is the Name of the Game
Things change all the time, and being flexible is how we stay strong. Your hiring goals should be adaptable—ready to switch gears as new trends pop up. Whether it's adapting to online shopping booms, the focus on sustainability, or changes in what customers want, your hiring plans should roll with it.
Using Tech the Smart Way
Technology is a game-changer in hiring. We can use AI tools and data to find amazing talent and make the hiring process smoother for everyone involved.

Brands' Secret to Success: Transparency + Authenticity
In an era notable for conscious consumerism and digital interconnectedness, transparency and authenticity have become more than just buzzwords. They are essential pillars upon which the most successful brands have built trust with their customers. Transparency is imperative for consumer trust. It has become a non-negotiable aspect of brand-customer relationships. Consumers are no longer content with surface-level information; they crave insights into a brand's values, practices, and ethical considerations. The same thing goes for authenticity. It's all about being true to a brand's identity.. Authentic brands are relatable, trustworthy, and connect on a personal level with their customers. To achieve the same level of transparency and authenticity as some of the top leading brands, you may want to consider these tips:
Sharing Brand Values: One powerful way brands build authenticity is by openly sharing their core values. Whether it's a commitment to sustainability, inclusivity, or ethical sourcing, brands that communicate their principles connect more deeply with consumers who share those values.
The Product Sourcing Story: Customers want to know where their products come from. Brands are responding by sharing the journey of their products, from sourcing raw materials to the final product. This transparency not only builds trust but also educates consumers about responsible consumption.
Genuine Brand Stories: Sharing the journey and struggles of a brand's founders or key personnel humanizes a brand. Authentic storytelling makes a brand more relatable and memorable.
Real People, Real Stories: Showcasing real customer testimonials, experiences, and user-generated content demonstrates that a brand values their customers and their voices. Authentic stories from real people can be incredibly persuasive.
In the fashion, home, and beauty industries, transparency and authenticity are not just trends; they're prerequisites for sustainable success. By sharing values, sourcing stories, and production processes, and consistently demonstrating authenticity, brands can build trust that transcends transactions and transforms casual customers into devoted advocates.
At EB, we draw inspiration from the transformative power of transparency and authenticity. Not only are they our guarantee to our clients, but we make it our mission to connect our clients with candidates who share similar values, aspirations, and ultimately resonate with their brand DNA. If you are looking to hire or build a successful career in the world of fashion, beauty or home, you can open a job with us here or apply to one of our jobs.
