What Businesses Should Expect in 2023: Recruitment Trends
Dec 1, 2022
In a world where we hire 3 to land with 1 and regularly say things like “just keep the position posted indefinitely”, the same old same old isn’t going to keep business moving forward. When the economy is in flux, and setting goals seem out of reach, there are a few things businesses are expecting in 2023 and preparing for.
Remote/ Hybrid opportunities will be essential for hiring –
Well, no doubt about it we have seen remote work becomes more than a desire but has evolved to be an expectation for job seekers. Today, it is the leading dealbreaker. If you have been on LinkedIn lately, you’ll know you can’t scroll through the news feed without at least one story or stat about how their productivity has been drastically greater since going remote.
So what if remote work isn’t an option for your business model?
Give your employees the opportunity to have a flexible work schedule and be thinking about customized and individualized benefits.
Not allowing Room for growth is NOT an option—
Career paths, development, and recognition are absolutes. Some states are even mandating more clear and consistent structures from titles to paths to compensation based on certification and experience development.
Only 1 in 4 employees are confident they have a career path at their current organization. The other ¾ employees are looking for a new role. Unlike some other factors right now, this is 100% within your control to prevent. Discuss career growth opportunities with each individual team member. Tell stories of career paths within the organization. Have a system where you can document a predicted or goal career path by the individual. “Here’s my notice” can be contagious, but it can easily be changed to “I just got promoted” or “my boss recognizes my contributions and my impact.”
Bonus Tip: Consider allowing employees to choose what else they’d like to learn based on their role. Keeping them motivated to learn will benefit your organization and a good faith investment in them. ????
Businesses will RELY ON recruitment firms –
It may seem a bit salesy for a recruitment company to tell you that more businesses will partner with us but it’s the truth and here’s why. There is in fact a talent shortage.
What’s causing it?
- The desire for gig work
- Retirement rate
- Workforce participation rate
- Skills gap
36% of HR leaders say their sourcing strategies are insufficient for finding the skills they need and when they finally do, it costs more than a pretty penny – from advertising spend to negotiated salary.
A recruitment firm will help you keep these costs under control while also marketing your position to attract your ideal candidate. Every month at HireLevel we spend over $20,000 just on advertising our client’s open positions. Not sure how to choose the right partner for your recruitment automation in 2023?
