5 Latest Trends In Recruitment All Job Seekers Must Know In 2023.

Ignorance they say is a disease but never an excuse.

Sometimes, the major reason a lot of persons keep meeting dead end in bagging jobs is simply because of ignorance.

They keep making same mistakes in different ways repeatedly.

Sometime ago, a connection approached me claiming that he had heard so much about me and my brand; HireRite Services

Of course, I saw it as an honour and I felt elated.

He proceeded to share his plight with me;

He graduated from one of the best schools in Nigeria for over 3 years and had been to over six states in search for job but never got any.????

I gave him some tips to follow and after about 6 months, he messaged me excitedly talking about his new job.

Of course, I was glad too! ??

I've walked in his footsteps before, experiencing the delight of securing a job or landing a gig.

Therefore, I shared in his enthusiasm and felt pleased to see his current success!

In today’s newsletter, I’ll be sharing 5 latest recruitment trends you need to know as a job seeker:

1. Remote interviewing:

This is a current recruitment trend as a result of the effects of the pandemic in 2020.

A positive impact of remote interviewing is that you can bag as much remote opportunities as possible.

However, in a country like Nigeria where a lot of persons experience technical issues like poor network coverage or power outage, preventive measures can be taken like going on a test call, staying in a place with network coverage, boosting all devices and having substitute devices.

Also, there are quite a lot of video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft teams, etc.

Furthermore, getting a good and quiet background will be a plus to the success of the interview.

2. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI):

This has overtime affected most company’s recruitments.

A lot of companies aim at boosting the diversity of their workforce.

Despite your geographical location, race or culture, apply for that job, your skill and diversity may be a reason you are selected.

3. HR Automation:

Automation of recruitment has come to stay.

Unfortunately, a lot of persons are oblivious of this reality.

For example, a lot of persons are still ignorant of the popular Applicant Tracking Software (ATS).

With ATS, some job applications don’t go to the next stage, but this can be avoided if you first test and craft your CV and cover letter using ATS standard.

Recruitment technology plays a crucial role in streamlining the hiring procedure and automating repetitive tasks like evaluating candidates, creating shortlists, and conducting initial interviews.

4. Skills, Competencies and other attributes:

Alot of recruiters' access skills, competencies and other vital attributes to source, screen and match candidates to job openings and opportunities.

This has actually been automated for convenience and efficiency by most recruiters.

5. Artificial Intelligence:

What if I tell you that most of your applications are actually reviewed by AI?

Most of these organizations use AI for recruitment and interviews.

Hence, you must be tech savvy and always present excellently written cover letters and CVs.

Incorporating these latest recruitment trends into your job-seeking strategy can open doors to a wealth of opportunities.
