FEBRUARY 2020HR TECH OUTLOOK 19Every day the advances in technology change the landscape of every business. And, the rate of change is only getting faster. Talent acquisition is certainly not exempt from this change. How candidates select employers, apply to job postings, and what they expect from their candidate experience is very different than it was a short time ago. Smart phones and social media applications are how most people communicate, get their information, and interact with the world. This is especially true for people that have grown up with all this technology, but is not limited to just millennials. Going forward, more and more candidates will prefer an application process that is full of self-service options, technology, and very little live contact. If companies and talent acquisition teams are not prepared to give it to them, they will not be able to stay in the game! Let's face it, it is all here already. Glassdoor gives candidates a quick glimpse into what it is like to work at your company, online profiles allow them to apply to many jobs in an instant, and some companies are even starting to use Snapchat to let candidates answer an interview question. They call them "Snapplications". Every Talent acquisition conference has sessions on A.I., and predictive analytics software. What will be next? I have looked into my crystal ball, and I have seen the future. The Future ofTechnology and RecruitingJohn Perez, Sr. Director Talent Acquisition, Sonic Automotive [NYSE:SAH]ByCXOInsights
