Forecasting 2022 With Recruitment Evaluations In 2021
While the year 2020 saw major lockdowns across the globe, with all of us panicking amidst the Coronavirus outbreak, things started getting back to normal in the year 2021. We started getting a hold on what the virus is, how to stay protected against it, and how to deal with it. This helped us get back to our normal routines with some new normals; and businesses started gaining momentum again. Recruiters also got back to business to recruit new candidates for new positions in client companies. But, things have slightly changed than what we’ve been seeing in the past. Listed below are three key trends that have been noticed throughout the year – new challenges and opportunities that should be around in the near future too. Challenge 1 – Candidate shortage While so many people were left jobless in the year 2020, yet one remarkable thing seen in 2021 was candidate shortage! After a survey, three key factors were identified that resulted in such unexpected candidate shortage – Intense demand and competition for great talent Increased need for job security in the unstable market A surge in new startups from best candidates With all these three factors seeming to go a long way, candidate shortage is expected to continue even in 2022. This is where companies shift to professional help to assist them in finding the best talent for their job roles. Challenge 2 – Demand for rookie recruiters
With shortage of the best candidates, companies are ready to recruit people who are entirely new. And with this acceptance on the go, such companies are also looking for rookie recruiters, rather than expensive experienced ones. They think that this is an effective way to cut through the difficult market, where demand for experienced recruiters is at an all-time high. However, with rookie recruiters on the rise, it also makes the need for proper onboarding, training, and development even bigger. Hence, online recruiting training is all set to grow in 2022! Challenge 3 – Remote working practices More and more work-from-home jobs have been seen. Even after the lockdowns have been lifted, people are still willing to work remotely from their homes, rather than getting back into physical offices. And, even where people are back in the same room, there are new levels of flexibilities and working options being seen. Recruiters are thus expected to bring in candidates who can work perfectly, even remotely. Looking at how things are changing every day, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be getting back to the old normal at all, or at least, not anytime soon. We all need to embrace the new normals and new working practices, along with new recruitment practices.
