Hi all;

I am writing a scenario on what future global-situations might occur that will affect a recruitment agency. The applicable agency compiles top qualified people and is a global company. The reason for using "SWOT" is i need to know the

Strength's: a company should have to survive whatever future situations occur;

Weaknesses: that can damage the company;

Opportunities: that might be available;

Threats:in the external and internal environment;

Also take the following elements into account: competition, political stances, environmental factors.

Please post if anything is unclear.

Note: the points will be split between the top two answers.

Kind regards,
JK

    Future global-situations you mean like "increase in energy and food costs"?

    @Leon

    Yes - anthing that will influence a company competing globally. Obviously energy costs and food costs wont be to big a problem for a recruitment company but e.g. 9/11 = people being scared to immigrate to the US etc.

    Weaknesses: Out-sourcing labor, global disasters, environmental issues, and social issues e.g. forced labor in 3rd world countries, the situation in both Myanmar and China, and clean working industrial plants...

    Opportunities: right now the dollar is less than the pound so trying to market to European countries, including England would be wise...this could go for any country where your currency may be at less value....

    Threats: once again natural disasters, if you happen to work with a lot of 3rd world or unstable countries a coup...can't really think of any internal

    Hope that helps some what....

    Recruiters globally are going to have to compete with websites, networks and automated systems which make it easy for companies to recruit themselves. Since a candidate's background is more transparent in the digital age - research is easier to obtain.
