Recruitment
One of the top growing trends in 2019 is recruitment marketing. Low rates of unemployment make it tough for firms to fill up vacant positions. However, a recruitment marketing strategy could help your company stay ahead from others to grab top candidates. The goal of the recruitment marketing strategy is to get and engage best job candidates by making the vacant position much more appealing to them. So, use the current trends and develop a productive recruitment marketing strategy.
2. Modernize recruitment approach using social media:
Knowing the social media platforms your candidates use most often can help you aim your job vacancies to those networks. Though LinkedIn is one of the most widely used social network for recruiting, firms should not avoid sites such as Facebook. Such sites can help you promote your job openings to ideal candidates.
3. Go mobile:
Mobile devices now are predominant and utilizing them to recruit candidates can help firms take on their competitors. For instance, texting is quicker than sending email and could help speed the hiring process up. Besides, it can also help increase the response rate of a prospective candidate. A few firms even offer tablets during job fairs in order to let candidates fill applications there and then.
4.Use chat bots as recruiters:
Use of chat bots to perform basic tasks is an emerging recruitment trend these days. Chatbots can instantly engage with applicants and help arrange in-person job interviews once they complete the process of pre-screening.
5. Automated recruiting takes away talent sourcing load:
Reviewing a lot of job applications can consume a lot of your time and effort. This is the reason why a few firms are now automating the review process. Besides, automation can further help identify the passive candidates, which might be an excellent fit for vacant positions.
6. Adopt video interviews:
Video interviewing lets recruiters interview more of job seekers than thought ever before. It also can allow the candidates to frame perfect answers for questions that may be asked in the interview. However, the possibility for technical difficulties and bias may pose an obstacle during video interviews.
7. Flexible work options boost applicant pool:
Many job applicants now cite flexible work policies, like the option to operate remotely, as a top-notch priority while selecting a job. However, not all employers have adopted this approach yet. Those employers who do provide flexible work policies use tools such as Slack to enhance collaboration between the employees.
8. Create a positive candidate experience:
Study has revealed that recruiters can lower their turnover costs by developing a positive applicant experience. Footwear retailer Foot Locker did just that by letting candidates send in applications using their smartphones. The firm also kept the suitable candidates in mind for future job positions if a vacancy is not available immediately.
9. Barriers exist for blockchain, but there is still a potential:
Blockchain has witnessed a tremendous amount of popularity in around every industry, starting financial services to travel. As an employee recruitment trend, it isn’t without its own set of challenges while firms seek to utilize it for verification reasons to accelerate the recruitment process.
The responsibilities of recruiters or HR has changed in recent years. Their role will continue to enhance in the future, and so it’s essential to stay aware of the latest trends. The above listed are a few of the trends which you should try to implement this year in your recruitment process.
