The recruitment and its challenges in 2023

For each company managing to hire the “top notch” talents for every position is the ideal goal during the recruiting process, whatever field it operates in.?Recruiting is a process in which a great number of factors influences the final result. That’s the reason why companies’ strategies must be precisely calculated and at the same time regularly updated.? This was very evident in these last years: many companies have already changed their? policies and the job market as a whole, and many of the sectors where these changes are taking place have not fully 'stabilised', yet.

So let's have a look at the main challenges to face for recruiters for 2023.

Eliminating Biases

This is a crucial aspect since in the last years topics such as inclusiveness and objectiveness have become highly debated subjects in the workplace. In addiction, the biggest difficulty is that a big number of discrimination cases during the hiring process passes as unnoticed by both the parties.??? Whether it is done, consciously or not, it is necessary an objective approach to recruiting in order to select the best, possible candidates.?

Lack of skilled talents

One of the biggest challenges for 2023 is the shortage of skilled workers in certain industries, such as technology and healthcare. Since these industries grow and grow, the demand for qualified candidates is outpacing the supply, making difficult for companies to fill open positions.

Competition for top notch talents

Unemployment rate has drastically decreased all around the world during the last few years. As a consequence job seekers have found many more options than in the past, and companies have to make their offerings much richer than in the past to attract them.? This can be especially challenging for small / medium companies, which may not have the necessary funds to compete with the market giants and are obliged to find more original ways to be appealing.?

New social attitudes

Many of them have changed also in terms of social attitudes concerning the job, especially among the younger generations.? In fact, these give a lot more importance than previous generations to topics like the work-private life balance, non-monetary benefits and opportunities for personal growth.?

Ultimately, these are the main challenges that recruiting teams will have to face during this year, forcing companies to be more innovative, agile and flexible in order to attract and retain the best candidates.
