WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF TALENT ACQUISITION?

A UK and Ireland survey by Personio found that 38% of employees were planning to leave their jobs in the next six months to a year. The pandemic forced people to question their working lives, and whether their current situation is one they wished to continue. With questions around work-life balance and the ability to work from home shaping the new normal, it is unsurprising that employees are considering a change. This, in addition to a greater concern for personal wellbeing, rising inflation, the continued impact of Covid and growth in early retirement rates, has all led to the significant increase in the 'war for talent' within the job market.

Candidates now have far more variety and choice within the application process. It is now harder than ever for companies to attract applicants and retain them for the duration of the application process. If an applicant becomes offput at any stage within an overcomplicated process, it is easy to assume that they are seeking easier alternatives. 

The ability for candidates to withdraw their application at any point, coupled with a high demand for talent across all sectors, has resulted in it now being harder than ever for employers to find and attract the best candidates. This is particularly the case where employers must complete all administration and processing of their recruitment – whilst also trying to find the best candidates.
 

Whilst the increase in job availability is beneficial for those seeking employment, the challenges that come with it can seem overwhelming for employers. Especially for underfunded and under-resourced internal talent acquisition teams.

Finding the perfect candidates for open roles can seem a tremendous task.

This is where agile recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) services comes in. Agile RPO has arisen sharply as a significant aid to cutting down increasing attrition rates across multiple business sectors. We’re seeing that multiple employers are faced with challenges to their talent attraction strategies, but remain reluctant to make wholesale changes to a traditional 'hands-off' outsource solutions. Agile RPO provides a solution which can be configured to meet individual resource needs and empowers in-house teams to deploy enterprise level technology instantly.
