Some businesses continued hiring even as the COVID-19 crisis left many unsure about the future. Now, most companies are realigning their priorities and starting afresh. The urgency to find or upskill talent for the new world is palpable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic hiring environment requires recruiters to upskill themselves. LinkedIn Talent Solutions<\/a> has revealed what hiring will look like as companies begin settling into this new world of work. Based on inputs from a survey of over 1,500 talent professionals, exclusive data points from the LinkedIn platform, and in-depth interviews with talent leaders globally, LinkedIn has identified six major recruiting trends for the future:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Recruiters will hire less and focus on build and borrow more:<\/strong> After COVID-19 started, internal mobility has increased by 20%.<\/li>
  2. Recruiting will ensure that there is accountability about diversity: <\/strong>77% of talent professionals say that diversity<\/a> will be very important, and 47% say that hiring managers are not held accountable for interviewing a diverse pool.<\/li>
  3. Virtual recruiting will remain a strong trend:<\/strong> 81% of professionals believe that this trend will continue.<\/li>
  4. Recruiters will drive the shift to remote work:<\/strong> Remote work and planning for it are making hiring teams actual business partners, as per 69%.<\/li>
  5. Employer brand will be deeply connected to empathy and actions:<\/strong> 63% of talent pros expect employer branding budgets to stay the same or increase.<\/li>
  6. Recruiters will need to build new skills to align with the business:<\/strong> The number one skill for recruiters in the next year will be adaptability.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These trends indicate just how much recruiters need to evolve if they weren\u2019t already somewhat on this path. Their learning curve has become steep, and there likely won\u2019t be any space for mistakes given how competitive the environment will become as an aftermath of the recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Evolving Role of Recruitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The new path of the recruitment<\/a> function will become the blueprint for other HR sub-functions as well. A lot of the insights point toward a more comprehensive evaluation of the role of HR in decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A lot has been said about the role of technology in recruitment. The trends LinkedIn has highlighted show how this function will be central to the virtual recruiting<\/a> process. However, at a broader level, we must look at the significance of the human change in hiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recruiters will become development experts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Recruiters will no longer simply hire the right talent. With the shift to internal mobility<\/a>, they will become experts in identifying resources already within the organization and how they can be quickly developed to take on new roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The scope of recruitment will include developing expertise in learning and development<\/a> as well. They will need to work closely with business leaders to identify skill gaps and  close them quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hiring managers will become the conscience of the organization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For a very long time, organizations have been paying lip service to diversity and inclusion. The Black Lives Matter movement has jolted them into action. At the helm of this vast transformation are recruiters and hiring managers. They have the power to become the conscience of their organizations in a way that high-potential underrepresented talent finds a place within the organization. With more emphasis on inclusion, organizations will also need to create robust performance parameters that become part of their diversity recruitment strategies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recruiters will better enable remote work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Recruiters know exactly the demands of the roles that they are hiring for. They have a view of the other side, too \u2013 the available talent. Being able to realistically map the two is their forte. Many roles can be performed entirely remotely or in a hybrid working model of part-remote and part-office. Recruiters will be expected to efficiently assess which of these might work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
