RECRUITMENT TRENDS 2024 FOR ALL RECRUITERS AND HRs TO EMBRACE

My dear colleagues and friends. We all had a rather slow start to the recruitment action this January, thanks to the extended school break. But we are ready now, and more ready than ever to embark upon an exciting journey of recruitment in 2024!

And here is a sneak peek into the exciting trends reshaping the way we set sail in search of talent:

1. Tech Enchantment: Imagine a world where AI and tech do the heavy lifting in our recruitment process, making it all as smooth as a well-oiled machine. We're talking chatbots, predictive analytics, precision matching etc. – the whole shebang. Surely, we all want to streamline the searches, and new technologies are helping us to do it. Embracing the tech advances makes us more efficient, for sure. But from where I am standing, nothing beats a human touch. What do you think?

2. VIP Treatment for All: I am sure all recruiters agree, that even with all the advanced technology we have at hand, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find suitable people. The reason is the narrower and narrower list of preferences that clients require. Jobs become more specialised and requirements add up. Plus a huge amount of talent exits the employment workspace every year due to increased opportunities for self-employment and making money on the net. There is even more reasons to treat our candidates like VIPs – after all, they make us look good.

3. Remote Work, World Domination: Remote work isn't just a trend; it's a global revolution. What does this mean for us, recruiters and HRs? It means our talent pool just expanded to cover the entire planet. How cool is that? Let's figure out how to make our hiring practices as flexible and inclusive as possible.

4. Diversity is Power: Our strength lies in our differences. Join us as we actively weave diversity and inclusion into the fabric of our hiring process. Fairness, equality, and a symphony of voices – that's the goal.

5. Skills Over Degrees: Yes, it's all about skills now! How about we shake things up and assess candidates based on their talents, potential, and hunger for learning? It's time to tap into a rich, diverse talent pool of potential stars, instead of just ticking the boxes for CV suitability. Agree?

6. Learning is the New Black: In a world that's always changing, learning is your secret weapon. Ready to dive into new adventures? Upskilling isn't just for personal growth; it's your ticket to staying ahead in the game.

As you can see, it is promising to be an exciting year for recruiters and for companies to add fresh new talent to their teams.

Happy hunting, everyone!
