Top 5 Trends in Recruitment Technology

      随着社会与科学技术的发展，公司招聘人员的形式也在跟随时代的脚步发生着巨大的变化。今天我们就来介绍五大新招聘趋势。

     对于常规的招聘会和招聘网站简历投递的方式，一些年轻人已经“审美”疲劳。随着更多90甚至95后涌入职场，社交网络无疑成为了他们求职的重要平台。与传统的招聘方式相比，社交网络招聘具有成本低廉、受众面广、高效的特点。与普通的招聘网站相比，社交网络招聘则具有更强的互动性。通过社交网络找工作或为找工作铺路、搜集信息，是不少年轻人求职时的常规动作。当我们想到使用社交媒体来求职的时候，大部分人倾向于登陆领英，因为这是想要积极拓展人脉的职业人士聚集的社交平台。

      其次，移动招聘也悄然蓬勃发展。随着3G移动互联技术的成熟普及，智能手机开始取代PC成为人们上网获取信息的重要工具。当你行走在大街小巷，都随处可见玩手机的“低头族”，可以说，智能手机几乎占据了他们除工作学习以外所有碎片化的时间。因此，当企业潜在候选人都成为“低头族”的时候，企业的招聘策略也需要及时为这些潜在候选人做些调整。尤其是那些对人才需求量较大的公司，更应该重视手机移动招聘。因为你的潜在候选人，工作时可能会频繁地接触到手机，智能手机已经是招聘方和候选人接触的最佳渠道。目前，手机移动招聘对于很多企业HR来说是一个新生的事物，很多招聘工作者都在尝试中，但相信效果一定显著。

      视频面试在近年已经趋于成熟。由于其效率更高、成本更低，在招募新员工时，时间更为灵活，同时方便了应聘者和面试官。加之全球人才流动频繁，国际范围内的招聘也变得越来越常见，因此使用网络视频面试筛选候选人也成为了现下HR新的招聘趋势。

      此外，及时更新、有效管理招聘资料也是重要一环，可以帮助HR把招聘工作做得更加高效。

Research shows that 73 percent of the 18 to 34 years have being able to find their most recent jobs via social media. It is where they will look for your roles and it is one of the easiest approaches to even interact with them. By doing so your applicants can easily auto-fill their details from Facebook or LinkedIn profile to your applications. You are streamlining a process that can generally be seen as time consuming and repetitive. The convenient you make it for them, the more likely they will be able to complete the application process. This also provides the recruiters with an insight into the candidates’ personal profiles, which helps you to keep your system’s information updated.

2. Mobile Recruiters

Year on year the mobile usage has grown, which indicates that most of your applicants will now be using their mobile devices to look for your roles and having a mobile optimized website will not be sufficient to support your potential candidates as the preferred means of applying. As the applicants will be uploading their documents, such as their resume, cover letters along with forms of ID to register their interest, the mobile based experience needs to make sure that it is actually catering to this. Linking with the website properly such as Dropbox or Google Drive will help them keep the entire process precise and smooth and the amount of required questions to a minimum will mean that the applicants will surely return to your website in future.

3. Hiring Candidates Via Video Conferencing

Increase in the use of video conferencing in businesses has steadily grown over the course of the year 2017, with it all set to boost even more in the year 2018. Conducting video based interviews will certainly benefit the recruiters more as it would help them cut down the amount of time being spent interviewing candidates in the premature stages of high-volume staffing campaigns. As video based interviews are conducted remotely, recruiters can easily cater to their applicant’s schedules and hence allocate time easily, while still being able to identify the high caliber candidates. And by cutting down the time spent on finding suitable candidates, recruiters get to focus more on developing right candidates for clients.

4. Inbound Recruitment Marketing Approach

With this, the marketing sector has also started to adopt; inbound strategies are proving to be much more effective as compared to prior outbound tactics. This all should be done via content tactics that help draw more and more candidates to your company with pieces that completely reflect their interests and that they can easily identify with. Make sure you keep them easily accessible by sharing on several social media platforms.

5. Keep The Internal Processes Updated

Spending time browsing through piles of resumes or applications certainly slows down the response time in an age where most of the answers are merely a click away and more crucially they are anticipated to be a click away. Eliminating paper not only helps update your techniques and reduces the amount of paper being consumed. It also cuts down the time as well as money being spent managing admin tasks while securing important documents from getting misplaced, ensuring all your details are easily accessible and kept backed up in a centralized location. This can be easily achieved by adopting latest solutions like electronic signatures for signing off the documents, CRM systems that are particularly designed as per the recruiter’s need or social media management tools.

Is it All a Hiring Boom or Just Mayhem?

2017 has been considered as a potpourri of mixed analytics and trends. The year can be referred to as a mixed bag of crucial developments as well as areas of improvements. Even though most of the sectors such as IT, recruitment, and Ecommerce are anticipating considerable growth in their hiring needs, some sectors such as Fast-Moving-Consumer-Goods and automobile indicate a sluggish approach.
 

In spite of these pockets of improvement, latest technological trends applied in the recruitment industry will change the current process to a great extent. Companies on a local, national as well as International level will come forward, embrace these crucial opportunities, and meet their recruiting requirements effectively.
