Learning the necessary triggers not just made my job easier, but also showed exceptionally interesting. Embracing ethical AI tools completely changed my method to recruitment: Automated Resume Screening: swiftly matching candidate credentials with job requirements. Chatbot help: guides prospects, answers FAQs, and schedules interviews perfectly.

In 2023, we experienced the growth of the need to headhunt skills rather than fill the roles of actively applying individuals. At the very same time, the increased circulation of applying prospects seemed like a favorable modification, but in fact, it did more operate in terms of the need to reply to everybody, examine each profile’s viability to the role and send out more rejection emails.

The efficiency increase that the AI and automation tools offered permitted us to make the process faster and more consistent. We achieved an improvement in the Time to Hire metric and the drop in Voluntary Turnover, and, employment at the exact same time – a boost in staff member NPS.

To maintain and surpass these expectations and employment keep employing and keeping leading skill, companies have to reconsider their company brand name and offering. At our end-of-the-year webinar, Kaarel Holm from MeetFrank shared that the Pareto principle uses in their user base – 20% of the best employers get 80% of the applicants. No employer desires to miss out on working with the very best skill.

To turn into one of the finest, transparency is expected throughout all phases of the skill strategy. This means leveraging the right technology and tools to support human competencies and constructing a strong employer brand name based upon them.

Diversity (DEI), flexibility, openness and the rise of relatable organisations are the keywords in focus for employment employer brands in 2024.

We’ve seen a lot of modification throughout 2023.

– Firstly, the need for the workplace on a versatile basis has actually picked up. While totally remote and remote-first opportunities remain dominant among jobseekers, hybrid functions are ending up being progressively popular.

Our Q3 Flexible Working Index (a report which tracks progressing patterns across the flexible jobs market) exposed a sharp shift far from remote work among employers – fully remote functions accounted for simply 4% of job posts in between July and September, on average.

Meanwhile, jobseekers’ need for remote work remains strong, however our information shows that the more flexibility business use staff around working places, the more popular they are amongst prospects.

The classic Mon-Fri is taking a backseat. More and more companies are presenting an alternative technique, that includes variations of the 4-day week, the 4.5-day week, and the 9-day fortnight.
Demand for the 4-day work week has escalated, with approximately 47.4% of Flexa users noting it as their favored way of working during October. During the very same period, 37.5% picked the 4.5-day week as their preference, and 14.1% specified the 9-day fortnight was theirs.
