Technology has helped us evolve as a society. So much so, that our lifestyles- how we travel, how we eat, and how we socialize are largely intertwined with how we use these technologies. As we have evolved, so have the way that businesses try to connect with us- whether as an employee, or as a customer. Companies don’t view HR the same they did a few years ago. Recruitment is not the same either. The digital age entitlement has given birth to a ‘candidate-driven’ recruitment market where expectations are much varied from traditional hiring processes.
According to a report by Kununu, 30% of candidates said they found it difficult to receive proper information about the day-to-day roles of a job. The report also found that candidates can use up to 16 separate sources during their job search, 52% of those surveyed agreed that the No. 1 frustration during their job search was lack of communication from the company during the hiring process, and almost 60% of job seekers questioned said they wait under 2-weeks to hear back.
These challenges are near impossible to solve for businesses without robust HR service delivery software like IFS Applications for Human Resources.
The Challenges to Recruitment
Most companies operate today on a multi-national scale. Recruitment requirements vary according to industries, job roles, and company cultures. HR Managers everywhere struggle to get some insight into how today’s job market works. Seasoned HR managers and recruiters list the following as today’s biggest hiring challenges.
1) Inability to adapt
HR managers often have to deal with hiring managers who require lengthy interview and assessment processes. As we have seen from stats before, candidates need a fluid interview process today. Unemployment is comparatively lower than before and you will find it harder to entice talented professionals without a streamlined recruitment operation.
2) Level playing field
It used to be that larger MNCs could rely on high packages and brand name to attract candidates into working for them. However, many smaller start-ups provide other valuable perks that allure job seekers like unlimited holidays, training allotments, etc. Finding the correct fit, for the correct role becomes even more difficult with such increased competition.
3) Lack of quality
A lack of skilled, quality talent, especially in specialized professions like engineering and IT is a reality. Recruiters need help to refine and customize their searches to find the correct role and culture fit for your company.
