Recruitment effort offers non-traditional hours
LONDON — PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is abandoning traditional work hours in its latest recruitment effort.
The London-based accountancy firm has launched the Flexible Talent Network, aimed at recruits seeking to work non-traditional hours.
Within two weeks of the launch, 2,000 people had applied, according to the BBC.
“In order to recruit the best people, we recognize that we need to offer greater flexibility, different working options and a route back in for those looking to restart their careers,” said Laura Hinton, PwC’s chief people officer.
The program allows applicants to suggest a preferred work pattern, such as shorter weeks or fewer months throughout the year.
