Employers also may have concerns that candidates with transferable skills may require more training before they can become fully productive in the role . This can lead to a bias against candidates who do not have direct experience in the same field and this in turn can limit the diversity of thought and skills that exist within the organisation .
Recruitment agencies are well-positioned to support clients in developing the skill sets of their team . The agency can help identify the specific training and development needs of new team members and connect them with the appropriate resources to meet those needs .
Here are a few ways that we have helped support clients by taking on transferable skilled candidates into their team :
Flexibility : Candidates with transferable skills are often able to adapt quickly to new environments and industries , which can make them a valuable asset in a fast-paced , constantly changing business landscape .

Problem-solving : Having experience in different fields can help candidates approach problems from different angles and provide creative solutions . They may have exposure to a variety of problemsolving methodologies and technologies .
Innovation : Candidates with transferable skills can also bring a new perspective to the organisation and can help drive innovation by introducing new ideas and methods from other industries .
Cost-Effective : Hiring the right transferable skills can often requires less training and candidates with transferable skills who are looking to make a career change may be open to taking a lower salary .
Stronger team : Having a team with diverse experiences and backgrounds can lead to more effective collaboration and improved team dynamics .
