Most Prominent Problems Recruiters are facing in 2022.

Recruiting is a well planned out, tactical job requiring adequate technical skills to be good at. From Candidates to competition, there are a plethora of problems that recruiters face from time to time. So we have followed various recruiters over Quora and their discussions to determine the most prominent of the problems recruiters are facing in 2022.

The Noise

There is a lot of “noise” at social platforms like LinkedIn. A candidate is approached by over a dozen recruiters on the same day. “The greatest obstacle for recruiters is connecting with candidates through the noise of all the other 2,000 recruiters trying to reach out to the same candidates.”

This is also the reason why companies are focusing on building a strong employee referral system. Reaching out candidates known to your company’s employees is far easier than taking the traditional route.

Keeping the assessments Accurate and Fair.

From the moment a Candidate hits “Apply”, the biggest challenge is figuring out how to test and interview candidates to determine if they can actually do the job before they are hired.

Companies typically use Online skills assessment tools. These assessments make it easy to compare candidates objectively, helping you remove any bias that might enter into your hiring process. You can test everything from a candidate’s technical abilities to their soft skills, workplace behavior, and fit.

Multiple Offers.

From the Candidate’s standpoint, pursuing multiple opportunities while job hunting is efficient. Nearly all candidates are actively pursuing multiple opportunities. Grabbing their attention is the most common challenge recruiters face.

Recruiters are focusing on making the candidate interaction as pleasant an experience as possible. Think of it like that a candidate is taking multiple calls a day but the one experience where they are treated pleasantly might stick with them and stand out more than others. Making your interview process a great experience is also crucial.
