Matchtech has been named one of the top 10 large companies in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work ranking, based on anonymous employee feedback. The ranking measures how employees view their jobs, managers, wellbeing and future prospects.
Matchtech has spent several years changing how it manages, develops and retains its people. The company has focused on clearer career paths, more responsive leadership, flexible working, recognition and greater trust.
Matchtech wants employees to build long-term careers within the business rather than view recruitment as a temporary role.
Staff turnover is a significant risk in recruitment. When an experienced consultant leaves, the company can lose sector knowledge, candidate relationships and a detailed understanding of client requirements. New consultants need time to rebuild those connections. Lower turnover can therefore support service continuity. Clients are more likely to deal with consultants who understand their organisation, remember previous assignments and recognise future hiring needs. This reduces the risk of relationships repeatedly starting again with a new contact.
Matchtech’s employee engagement score has reached 8.7 out of 10, its highest level to date. Employee attrition has also fallen year on year to 28%, continuing an improvement from three years earlier.
