The recent conduct of the recruitment in 2019 study by Jobsite provides an insight into how recruitment will change in the next 10 years and thought provoking scenarios which could revolutionise the way companies conduct recruitment and attract candidates.
Here are some of the key findings:
The war for talent will become even more prevalent in certain sectors forcing employers to be more flexible with their employment offers and to reconsider the way recruiters market themselves to candidates.
Recruiters will illustrate an increased willingness and confidence to experiment with new attraction methods reducing the current dominance harnessed by job boards and publishers.
The number of organisations using recruitment technology will continue to rise through to 2019 in order to meet the increased expectations of candidates and support new recruitment channels.
The drive to automate all parts of the recruitment process will counteracted by issues such as recruitment effectiveness, diversity of candidate reach and employer brand implications.
In 2019 it is anticipated that candidates may well be still the most favoured way to submit candidate details with the use of the full range of tools on offer remaining a priority pursuit.
Through high quality online consumer processes candidates will have become accustomed to applying online and expect companies to operate a seamless recruitment process.
Whilst the recruitment consultancy model will enjoy renewed strength, the role of smaller agents is set to diminish through the increased diffusion of recruitment technology and a recruiters increased competence in securing direct hires.
