Advancements in Recruiting Technologies

Recruitment continues to adapt alongside technological advancements and the rise of remote employment. Employers may stand out and attract new talent through creative recruiting techniques.

FREMONT, CA: Using the appropriate recruiting tools allows businesses to stand out and fill positions with competent individuals.

Hiring remains robust despite layoffs from major corporations in 2022, including Oracle, Shopify, and Tesla. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report, the payroll headcount climbed by 528,000 in July 2022, while the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent. During the current Great Resignation, record numbers of employees leave and pursue alternative career paths.

Recruitment technology is accelerating and improving the hiring process. Remote work has altered how businesses recruit personnel, and current recruitment trends include using technology for talent acquisition.

Mobile recruitment

Individuals use their mobile devices for various tasks, such as shopping, paying bills, ordering food, and accessing the internet. According to Statcounter, as of August 2022, 60.67 percent of internet traffic originates from mobile devices.

Business websites, including career pages with job listings, must be optimized for mobile searches to meet this growing demand. Mobile-friendly websites are optional to be perfect replicas of their desktop counterparts. Still, they should feature vertically stacked material to make it more readable, with simple navigation options and a click-to-call button.

According to a survey by Apptopia, the number of daily active users for employment applications such as Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and Glassdoor has been reaching new monthly highs since March 2022. Companies must include these job boards in their mobile recruitment strategies as the number of people conducting job searches from their smartphones continues to rise. Individuals can create profiles, upload resumes, and apply for several jobs by visiting these sites rather than individual companies websites. Businesses can include a link to their website in the posting so that individuals can also view the original posting on their website.

Chatbots

According to an IBM analysis, an automated chatbot can interact with website users and answer 80 percent of common questions. Chatbots can be used to run screenings, reach out to candidates, and update applicants on the progress of their applications. Chatbots can also steer candidates to different positions based on keywords in their resumes and candidate profiles.

While selecting chatbot technology and functionality, organizations should prioritize chatbots with the capacity to conduct natural and robust dialogues, ensuring that prospects do not form a negative opinion of the firm based on an inappropriate response. Chatbots may swiftly answer broad queries about a job, and businesses can determine whether the chatbot appears automatically or only when the website visitor clicks a button.

Recruiters should be involved in designing and training chatbots to provide a favorable candidate experience. Chatbots require assistance to guide the appropriate candidates through the recruitment process. Testing them in various settings is vital when employing chatbots with job applicants.

Automated recruitment marketing

Employers can reach potential applicants through the use of advertising to attract candidates. Employers should treat job prospects as customers and communicate with them on the platforms where they spend time. Recruiters should also examine passive individuals who are not actively seeking employment but could be interested if presented with the appropriate opportunity.

A company's employer brand can be strengthened through recruitment marketing by highlighting the company's values and benefits of working there. Individuals quietly departing their employment seek a better work-life balance; therefore, it is essential to emphasize employee wellness perks.

Using AI, automated recruitment marketing identifies the most effective websites and social media platforms for reaching top prospects. Automated marketing enables organizations to schedule advertising, monitor impressions, and track spending after placing the best sites.
