Planning To Hire In 2022? Start Putting the Wheels In Motion Now

It may seem a little early to start thinking about 2022, but the reality is, it will be here before we know it. Business leaders are beginning to put plans in place for the new year, whether assessing budgets or preparing new strategies for success. It’s a great time to evaluate what’s working and what needs to change so that you can prepare for a change in the new year. A new year is a fresh start, so it’s a great excuse to experiment with new strategies in all business areas. And, with the dust finally beginning to settle on a few years of uncertainty, it’s becoming clear that now is the ideal time to adjust tactics and refine your business approach across all areas. So why should your recruitment strategy be any different? Here are some reasons why you should start putting the wheels in motion now so that your recruitment strategy is ready for 2022.

The Fake CV Scandal: Are Big Tech Names Screening Candidates Properly?

Failing to screen CVs properly will waste everyone’s time. If recruiters let fake CVs like this one slip through the net and reach further stages of the recruitment process, the likelihood is they’ll have to start again once the truth comes out. Restarting the recruitment process is costly and time-consuming, plus there’s a chance you could lose out on talented candidates that have already been rejected the first time around. In a candidate-driven market, these skilled people will likely have been snapped up by the competition. Recruitment teams will double their work, and the role will take longer to hire, which could cause productivity problems later down the line.

Tech recruitment tips for bringing the best STEM talent to your startup

Today is National STEM Day, a day that celebrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics. As we all know, the demand for STEM talent is high. Graduates from these subjects get swept up incredibly quickly, but more and more employers are realising the value in their skills, creating a huge skills gap. With big-name tech companies having the advantage of reputation when it comes to STEM talent attraction, startups are often left behind even though they have so much to offer.
The demand for technical talent like data scientists, engineers and more is not expected to slow down any time soon. This means startups in particular need to work hard if they wish to attract the STEM talent they need to grow their business and meet the demand for their products and services. Growth cannot be put on hold, and talent is required for business success.

Speed is everything in today’s tech recruitment market, but don’t let it affect quality of hire

cruitment game is becoming more about speed and agility than ever. This is causing concern for many companies, as, of course, they want to be sure about the people they’re hiring and know that they’ll be excellent quality hires. Scaling businesses that have smaller teams to begin with need to ensure that the people they’re hiring are a cultural fit and have the skills to grow a business and enhance its offering. Therefore, it’s understandable that these businesses, where possible, would like to take time when it comes to hiring, including multiple interviews, tasks and time to decide with the wider team. However, in a highly competitive, candidate-driven market, time is a luxury few employers can afford.

8 Recruitment Trends We Expect To See More of In 2022

In the last twelve months, recruitment strategies have had to adapt to change. Hiring practices that were the norm in a post-pandemic world are beginning to look dated and ineffective. With remote working and skills shortages taking over, it quickly became apparent in the early half of this year that the recruitment landscape wasn’t ever going to be the same as it once was, and many of us had to adapt. Therefore, we’ve had a lot of time to experiment and reflect on what hiring practices work best in this new normal.

Five scenarios where you may need to outsource recruitment support

When you’re a talent acquisition specialist, bringing in external help is a huge decision, and there can often be a bit of a stigma attached to it. Many believe that outsourcing recruitment or asking for the help of an RPO provider creates the connotation that your existing talent function isn’t working and that you need help to do your job. However, enlisting an RPO agency to work as a recruitment partner is a strategic way of finding this support without making permanent or hard to reverse decisions. In many cases, it’s a more cost effective and intelligent way of solving talent acquisition challenges.

Turning up the volume: it’s time to get bold and loud with Employer Branding

Now everyone realises the importance of employer brand, it will take a lot more to stand out. Every business out there will claim to be a great employer. It would be stupid to say they aren’t if they wish to attract new talent. Plus, a lot of benefits like flexible working are now taken as standard. They’re not going to help you to stand out in the race for talent. Therefore, when it comes to communicating employer brands, companies who wish to attract the best talent will have to think outside of the box, tailor their messaging to resonate with the right talent and get loud with the aspects that make them unique.
