In 2023, we experienced the development of the requirement to headhunt talents instead of fill the functions of actively applying individuals. At the exact same time, the increased circulation of using candidates appeared like a favorable modification, however in fact, it did more work in terms of the need to reply to everyone, assess each profile’s viability to the role and send out more rejection emails.

The effectiveness increase that the AI and automation tools offered allowed us to make the process quicker and employment more constant. We accomplished an improvement in the Time to Hire metric and the drop in Voluntary Turnover, and, at the exact same time – a boost in worker NPS.

Rethinking and upgrading your company brand to adjust to the changes

The nature of work and the expectations towards the workplace and employer have significantly moved in the previous years. There is also a generational change in the labor force – Gen Z is entering the workforce as a part of the Boomer generation is retiring.

To maintain and surpass these expectations and keep working with and retaining leading talent, companies have to reassess their employer brand and offering. At our end-of-the-year webinar, Kaarel Holm from MeetFrank shared that the Pareto principle uses in their user base – 20% of the finest employers get 80% of the applicants. No company desires to miss out on employing the very best skill.

To turn into one of the very best, transparency is anticipated throughout all phases of the skill strategy. This suggests leveraging the best innovation and tools to support human competencies and constructing a strong company brand name based upon them.

Diversity (DEI), flexibility, openness and the rise of relatable organisations are the keywords in focus for employer brand names in 2024.

We have actually seen a lot of change throughout 2023.

– Firstly, the demand for the office on a flexible basis has picked up. While totally remote and remote-first chances remain dominant amongst jobseekers, hybrid roles are becoming significantly popular.

Our Q3 Flexible Working Index (a report which tracks progressing patterns throughout the flexible tasks market) exposed a sharp shift far from remote work among companies – completely remote functions accounted for just 4% of job posts in between July and September, usually.

Meanwhile, jobseekers’ need for remote work stays strong, however our data reveals that the more versatility companies use personnel around working places, the more popular they are among prospects.

– Secondly, the conventional work week has significantly evolved over the previous year.

The traditional Mon-Fri is taking a backseat. A growing number of companies are introducing an alternative approach, which includes variations of the 4-day week, the 4.5-day week, and the 9-day fortnight.
Demand for the 4-day work week has actually skyrocketed, with approximately 47.4% of Flexa users noting it as their favored way of working during October. During the same duration, 37.5% picked the 4.5-day week as their preference, and 14.1% specified the 9-day fortnight was theirs.

Technology will permit you to truly make data-driven choices whilst being able to track prospects, raise your company branding and master recruitment marketing.

Recruiter skillset in 2024

In recent years, we have seen a lift in skill- and value-based hiring. Companies are now actively upskilling their existing labor force and working with brand-new employees to fill the skill gaps.

This also implies employers need to adapt their skills to match the requirements. Recruiters require a mix of exceptional soft skills and hard skills to be successful in 2024 and beyond. A successful recruiter in 2024 is a and facilitator who understands how to sell the function and the company, deals with information and data to think tactically, and adapts quickly to the modifications in the market.

Again, proactively working on developing these skills even more and using technology assists stay on top of the recruitment video game.

In the previous few years, we have seen recruitment ending up being increasingly more strategic and data-driven. HR professionals have actually become the leaders of this shift and the brand-new talent methods.
