The population of the UK is ageing and simultaneously there is a shortage of talent in many sectors. The opportunity exists for UK organisations to create a competitive advantage by exploiting the expanding pool of 'grey' talent. Not only is this a sound business strategy but it is also a regulatory imperative due to the UK Age Regulations introduced in October 2006. This paper discusses practical strategies for organisations to recruit older talent into their workforce. Central to these strategies are the philosophy of skills-based recruiting and the use of e-recruitment technology to promote wide access to job roles and implement a compliant, skills-based recruiting process.
