AI helps employers to work smarter, not harder, automate recurring tasks, make it faster and much easier to source prospects, write task ads, launch employer branding projects, and engage with prospects, to name just a few.

I started using several AI-powered tools in recruitment, constantly guaranteeing ethical practices, naturally. Learning the essential prompts not just made my job easier, but also showed exceptionally remarkable. Embracing ethical AI tools entirely transformed my approach to recruitment: Automated Resume Screening: swiftly matching candidate certifications with job requirements. Chatbot support: guides prospects, responses FAQs, and schedules interviews seamlessly.

In 2023, we experienced the development of the need to headhunt skills rather than fill the roles of actively applying people. At the very same time, the increased flow of using candidates looked like a favorable change, but in fact, it did more work in regards to the requirement to respond to everybody, evaluate each profile’s suitability to the role and send out more rejection emails.

The effectiveness increase that the AI and automation tools provided allowed us to make the procedure much faster and more consistent. We achieved an improvement in the Time to Hire metric and the drop in Voluntary Turnover, and, at the same time – a boost in employee NPS.

Rethinking and upgrading your company brand name to adjust to the modifications

The nature of work and the expectations towards the office and company have actually significantly moved in the previous years. There is likewise a generational change in the labor force – Gen Z is going into the workforce as a part of the Boomer generation is retiring.

To keep up and go beyond these expectations and keep hiring and keeping leading skill, companies have to rethink their company brand name and offering. At our end-of-the-year webinar, Kaarel Holm from MeetFrank shared that the Pareto principle applies in their user base – 20% of the best employers get 80% of the applicants. No employer wants to miss out on out on employing the finest skill.

To turn into one of the finest, openness is anticipated throughout all stages of the skill method. This implies leveraging the best innovation and tools to support human proficiencies and building a strong employer brand name based upon them.

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

We have actually seen a lot of change throughout 2023.

– Firstly, the need for the workplace on a flexible basis has picked up. While completely remote and remote-first opportunities remain dominant amongst jobseekers, hybrid roles are ending up being progressively popular.

Our Q3 Flexible Working Index (a report which tracks evolving patterns across the flexible tasks market) exposed a sharp shift far from remote work amongst employers – fully remote functions represented simply 4% of job posts in between July and September, typically.

Meanwhile, jobseekers’ demand for remote work stays strong, however our data reveals that the more flexibility business offer personnel around working places, the more popular they are among candidates.

– Secondly, the standard work week has actually significantly progressed over the past year.

The traditional Mon-Fri is taking a backseat. More and more companies are presenting an alternative technique, that 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 increased, with an average of 47.4% of Flexa users listing it as their preferred way of working during October. During the very same duration, 37.5% chosen the 4.5-day week as their choice, and 14.1% stated the 9-day fortnight was theirs.

You require to be continuously sharing things with your audience so when recruitment selects back up you are not basically beginning from scratch. Technology will allow you to truly make data-driven decisions whilst being able to track prospects, raise your company branding and master recruitment marketing.

Recruiter skillset in 2024

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

This likewise means employers should adjust their skills to match the requirements. Recruiters require a mix of exceptional soft abilities and difficult abilities to be successful in 2024 and beyond. A successful recruiter in 2024 is a great communicator and facilitator who understands how to offer the role and the business, works with information and statistics to believe tactically, and adapts rapidly to the changes in the market.

Again, proactively dealing with establishing these abilities even more and utilizing innovation helps stay on top of the recruitment game.

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

We’re delighted to see that Teamdash users are actively dealing with the data readily available for them in the Recruitment efficiency tab and have actually made checking it a part of their day-to-day regimen. This has assisted them find brand-new ways to enhance the process and automate tedious jobs, making more time for activities that create value.

The new skillset aligns with the obstacles that 2023 has brought and will bring on to 2024.

– We have seen an increase in the number of prospects but still have difficulties getting enough certified prospects;
– We need to cut or handle recruitment costs to remain on top of the financial situation worldwide;

I ´ d state that a good recruiter should keep up with the trends, understand the target group, and understand how to connect to them. Also, there needs to be a little a salesperson in every employer, in an excellent way.

The most crucial skills for an employer in 2024 are:

The upcoming years signify a concrete shift, demanding fundamental change when it concerns time-based metrics, however not only. Integrating Talent Analytics and Talent Intelligence into resource planning is ending up being the standard even before recruitment activities begin.

2023 has left numerous skill acquisition groups lean. Recruitment teams and professionals require to discover and reevaluate how to deliver more with less. Balancing the needs of service requirements while guaranteeing individual well-being is vital to fight the prevalent challenge of recruitment burnout in the year ahead. Remember, it is very important that your cup is full as well.

The second one would be trust. 2023 was notorious for the number of layoffs, I feel that there is a growing deficit of trust from the prospects side. Therefore, business need to be conscious of building their genuine company brands within out and taking excellent care of their present staff members. Prioritizing the well-being and engagement of present workers ends up being not just a business responsibility but a tactical necessary to restore and strengthen trust in the hiring landscape.

As attitudes and comprehending continue to sway in the right instructions, I hope 2024 will bring far more transparency and utilisation of employer branding. Both go hand-in-hand and are exceptionally crucial to successfully employing and keeping top talent – especially as they help build trust amongst prospects and employees.

And there’s a lot information to back this up. For instance, LinkedIn’s Employer Brand data state that 75% of task candidates think about an employer’s brand name before even making an application for a task.
In a study of 1,000 staff members, Visier discovered that 90% trust their employer. When asked why, 65% said, “They typically inform me the reality”, 52% stated, “They’re transparent about business policies and practices”, and 38% stated, “They encourage workers to speak out”.
And data from Deloitte revealed that relied on companies outshine their peers by up to 400%!

We are also going to see a lot of lazy employers severely using Generative AI tools. We must keep in mind that nobody speaks like ChatGPT, so we can not simply spit up material and pass it off as our own. Personalisation will be key for us to stay Human.
