The digital era has revolutionised the way businesses operate and recruit talent. With the help of digital tools and strategies, companies are now attracting and hiring top talent more efficiently and effectively than ever before. In human resources, wherein communication is crucial, technology is changing the landscape.
Nirupama VG, our Founding and Managing Director adds, “With the evolving scenario, the digital era is throwing challenges that are changing by the hour, making hiring predictable. Having said that, the speed with which it is changing is making it unpredictable.”
What used to be paper-intensive and non-changing has become a fast-paced branch, especially in this sector. In fact, the recruitment industry is now making accommodations for this modern age of digital transformation.
Here are some interesting facts to further demonstrate the importance of digital tools in the hiring process:
AI is becoming increasingly popular in the hiring process: In a report by LinkedIn, 76% of recruiters said they believed that AI would have a significant impact on the future of recruiting. AI-powered tools can help businesses automate time-consuming tasks like resume screening and scheduling interviews, freeing up recruiters to focus on evaluating candidates’ skills and fit with the company culture.
Gamification can increase candidate engagement: A study by PWC found that 61% of job seekers would be more likely to apply for a job if the recruitment process was gamified. By adding game elements to the hiring process, such as challenges or puzzles related to the job, businesses can create engaging and interactive experiences for job seekers.
Social media is a powerful recruitment tool: According to a survey by Jobvite, 73% of companies have successfully hired a candidate through social media, with LinkedIn being the most popular platform for recruitment. This highlights the importance of leveraging social media in the hiring process to connect with potential candidates and showcase job openings.
Remote work is paving way for technological advancements: A survey by Buffer found that 98% of remote workers would like to continue working remotely, at least some of the time, for the rest of their careers. To attract talent from around the world and create a more diverse workforce, businesses will have to invest in tech needed to support such an environment. They might have to look beyond the technology that was already in place to sustain a remote workforce going forward.
Company culture is crucial for attracting and retaining talent: A survey by Glassdoor found that 77% of job seekers consider a company’s culture before applying for a job, and 56% of employees said that company culture was more important than salary. By showcasing their company culture through digital channels like their website, social media, and blog, businesses can attract job seekers who align with their values and beliefs.
These facts highlight the importance of using digital tools and strategies to attract and hire top talent in today’s digital era. Social media, AI, gamification, remote work, and company culture are all essential elements of the modern hiring process, and businesses that embrace them are more likely to find and retain the best talent. By using these tools and strategies, companies can stay competitive and ensure their long-term success in the digital era.
