A new report predicts that the new world of work will bring about shifts in how candidates are profiled and increased value of sourcing and onboarding in recruitment.
The report, ‘Recruitment – 2022: The Effect of Social Media and Technology on Future Recruitment’, also predicts that talent will be selected based on evidence that they can deliver against the required task, and that reward will become far more outcome-based, both for the worker and those involved in the recruitment process.And in a prediction that recruiters will welcome, it also says that recruitment will finally become acknowledged as the most important HR process, with quality of hire becoming the only future recruitment metric.
Researched by Belinda Johnson of WorkLab on behalf of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation’s (REC'S) Technology Sector Group, the 44-page report is published today [6 December]. The report was based on 42 interviews and quantitative data from third-party sources
In spite of a current emphasis on recruiters’ encouraging employees and acquaintances to put forward referrals of potential candidates, the report notes the rise of ‘scraping’ technologies that will ‘help’ people make referrals from their networks.
“When you can no longer apply the word ‘personal’ to the word ‘connections’, it will also be interesting to see to what extent connecting, ‘liking’ and following dries up,” Johnson said. “The only boundary is whether we want to continue to LinkIn, ‘like’, etc.”
Non-members of the REC can purchase the ‘Recruitment – 2022’ report from the REC bookshop.
