Chatbot help: guides candidates, responses FAQs, and schedules interviews flawlessly.
In 2023, we experienced the development of the requirement to headhunt talents rather than fill the roles of actively applying people.

The efficiency increase that the AI and automation tools provided allowed us to make the process faster and more consistent. We achieved an enhancement in the Time to Hire metric and the drop in Voluntary Turnover, and, at the very same time – an increase in staff member NPS.

Rethinking and revamping your company brand to adapt to the modifications
The nature of work and the expectations towards the work environment and employer have significantly moved in the previous years. There is likewise a generational modification in the workforce – Gen Z is entering the workforce as a part of the Boomer generation is retiring.

No employer wishes to lose out on employing the best skill.
To turn into one of the finest, transparency is anticipated throughout all stages of the talent technique. This implies leveraging the best innovation and tools to support human competencies and developing a strong company brand name based on them.
Diversity (DEI), flexibility, openness and the increase of relatable organisations are the keywords in focus for employer brands in 2024.
We have actually seen a great deal of change throughout 2023.
– Firstly, the need for the workplace on a flexible basis has actually rebounded. While totally remote and remote-first chances stay dominant amongst jobseekers, hybrid roles are becoming significantly popular.
Our Q3 Flexible Working Index (a report which tracks evolving patterns throughout the versatile jobs market) exposed a sharp shift far from remote work amongst companies – completely remote roles accounted for just 4% of job posts between July and September, typically.
Meanwhile, jobseekers’ demand for remote work remains strong, but our information reveals that the more flexibility companies use personnel around working areas, the more popular they are among candidates.
– Secondly, the standard work week has significantly developed over the previous year.
The classic Mon-Fri is taking a backseat. Increasingly more business are presenting an alternative method, which consists of variations of the 4-day week, the 4.5-day week, and the 9-day fortnight.
Demand for the 4-day work week has escalated, with an average of 47.4% of Flexa users noting it as their favored method of working during October. During the exact same period, 37.5% selected the 4.5-day week as their choice, and 14.1% stated the 9-day fortnight was theirs.

Recruiting is getting more technical with every year. I ´ d state that a great recruiter needs to keep up with the patterns, know the target group, and understand how to reach out to them. Also, there needs to be a little a salesperson in every recruiter, in a good way.
The most essential skills for an employer in 2024 are:
Business partnering and consultancy skills. The capability to participate in meaningful discussions and forge collaborations with hiring managers and stakeholders is vital. We should first cultivate a wealth of company acumen and abilities within ourselves to genuinely function as vital service partners.

Predicting what leads us becomes a vital skill among TA professionals and helps us construct meaningful collaborations with our stakeholders. The approaching years signify a concrete shift, demanding basic modification when it comes to time-based metrics, however not just. Integrating Talent Analytics and Talent Intelligence into resource planning is ending up being the requirement even before recruitment activities commence. Balancing the internal and external perspectives ensures that we keep up with changes and stay half a step ahead. As the data subject requires to broaden, storytelling abilities take centre stage-because information holds an essential story, and we remain in the lead of composing the narrative around this.

The second one would be trust. 2023 was well-known for the number of layoffs, I feel that there is a growing deficit of trust from the candidates side. Therefore, business need to be conscious of constructing their authentic employer brands completely and taking excellent care of their existing employees. Prioritizing the wellness and engagement of present workers becomes not simply a business obligation however a tactical vital to rebuild and fortify trust in the hiring landscape.

Both go hand-in-hand and are incredibly crucial to effectively working with and retaining leading skill – especially as they help develop trust among prospects and employees.
And there’s so much data to back this up. For example, LinkedIn’s Employer Brand statistics specify that 75% of task hunters think about an employer’s brand before even making an application for a task.
In a survey of 1,000 workers, Visier found that 90% trust their employer. When asked why, 65% said, “They generally inform me the truth”, 52% stated, “They’re transparent about business policies and practices”, and 38% stated, “They encourage staff members to speak up”.
And information from Deloitte revealed that trusted companies outperform their peers by up to 400%!
