According to a Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association interview with Pam Verhoff, president of Advanced RPO, because the unemployment rate is at a record low and the open job rate is at a record high, it is becoming more expensive for employers to find and attract the top talent in the marketplace.
And, with the growth of automation in many fields, talent acquisition professionals may experience the especially high demand in technology fields such as robotics and computer operations. Given my role as a human resources and workforce consultant and futurist, I’ll recommend the following best practices to stay competitive in a tight labor market.
Focus On Your Candidate Experience
Your hiring process can blend the high tech, high touch approaches and give prospective employees a strong sense of your mission, vision, values, and culture while maintaining speed and efficiency. Your experience can answer the questions: What is this organization about and why would I want to work there? Is this the right organization and role for me? How can I be a part of what this company delivers its customers?
Strong candidate experiences may convert top talent by telling a compelling story that hooks candidates on inspiring company messages. They may leverage mobile and one-click apply apps to simplify the process, create and deliver personalized messages for consistent touchpoints, and solicit and implement feedback on the recruitment and hiring experience once candidates come aboard.
