The main factors that shape new recruitment trends remain those of pandemic and remote work as well as forced optimization of expenses in many companies across the world. However, what are the new challenges that heads of HR departments will face in 2022?
We have chosen seven main trends in the field of recruitment, training and self-development of employees.
1. Remote recruiting. Many companies have transferred effectively all of their business processes to the format of remote work format. The HR field has not been exempt and now virtual recruitment is a common thing.
2. Optimization of work with candidates. Currently managers are reconsidering the process of recruitment by using efficient methods of assessment that obviate the need to contact several stages of a job interview.
3. Using the principles of gig economy. The processes are built in a way to cut down on the number of employees and to hire contractors for project or temporary work. The point of this method is that a company does not waste money on paying employees that perform no work.
4. Stiff competition while searching for skilled employees. Companies are faced with the need to use stealth in order to keep hold of their employees. While looking for a new candidate recruiters no longer limit themselves to placing job announcements on relevant websites. Instead, they promote their companies’ vacancies through targeted ads and other digital tools.
5. Management of a hybrid team. HR people face the need to exert control over their team whose part works at the office with the rest working remotely.
6. Honing skills on a regular basis. In these dynamic digital times professions are undergoing significant change and one has to constantly teach employees something new. The focus is placed here on personal traits of employees and not on their job experience.
7. Greater focus on sourcing. Over 40% of companies across the world have come to realize the importance of sourcing and have made it into a separate process, because in order to attract passive candidates one needs professionals who are capable of effectively bringing in new employees.
