The COVID-19 pandemic has radically transformed the nature of work in the world. Talent acquisition and recruitment strategies will now be the most challenging ever to be effective for businesses to shift into a new way of working and globally scattered talent. Here at IM Practices, Inc., we watch these changes and are here to help businesses outperform and take the best advantages in changing landscapes of recruitment. Let’s get into some of the big trends and strategies that are going to define recruitment in a post-pandemic world.
1. The New Normal: Remote and Hybrid Work
Hybrid and fully remote work models are already accelerating into new normal, with most previously enjoying the luxury of working from home. This comes as a golden opportunity for employers to understand that flexibility in work-life balance comes with savings on overheads, and there’s a wider pool of talent they can tap.
The bottom line is that, as a new norm, recruiting the best talent requires adaptation. At IM Practices, Inc., we help businesses adapt their recruitment processes to find candidates who thrive in virtual and hybrid environments. We emphasize hiring individuals with skills and mindsets that make them effective remote workers: self-motivated, collaborative, and adaptable.
2. Virtual Interviews: The New Hiring Standard
Virtual interviews are very commonly done in the pandemic time and will be done even after the pandemic. No company will again restrict itself to a particular geographic area in terms of candidate selection. Companies can tap into the global talent pool that spans the whole world. The change, however, requires evolution of the recruiters and hiring managers regarding their assessment tools.
IM Practices, Inc. utilizes video interviews, virtual assessment, and many more AI-driven technologies to make the recruitment process as flawless and complete as possible. However, the whole team makes sure that the virtual interviewing experience is to remain personal yet professional and perfect while judging someone’s technical fit, cultural aptitude, or general ability to be successful.
3. Role of Technology in Recruitment
All talent acquisition requires the use of technology; this ranges from ATS to AI and machine learning in streamlining the hiring process that saves time-to-hire, saves the quality of the candidate.
Using AI and data-driven insights, recruiters can make more effective candidate-position matches on skills, experience, and even behavioral traits. Predictive analytics is also in use today and becoming increasingly popular for companies to better predict their recruitment needs and trends.
Technologically, IM Practices, Inc., is aware and employs all the innovations in high-end tools to ensure that it designs the best practices for recruiting your business. Technology integration to just become a silent partner in your hiring process never lets you miss top-class talent.
4. Focus on diversity and inclusion.
The pandemic has put a spotlight on the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Companies need to have diverse and inclusive environments in place to attract and retain the best employees because talent is now more global and accessible than ever.
The future of recruitment would be about diverse hiring practices; this means that the organization attracts not only diverse talent but also creates an environment where every employee feels valued and supported. IM Practices, Inc. stresses diversity in the recruitment process with business implementation on unbiased hiring and developing diverse pipelines of candidates.
