At Teamdash, our philosophy has always been that the recruiter must be at the guiding wheel and in control, and technology is simply a vehicle to arrive much faster, safer and more conveniently. And it must continue and be transparent in the recruitment efficiency metrics.

AI is like your co-pilot – you remain in control, providing commands and making the decisions.

Learning the necessary triggers not just made my job easier, however likewise proved extremely fascinating. Embracing ethical AI tools entirely changed my approach to recruitment: Automated Resume Screening: promptly matching candidate qualifications with task requirements. Chatbot assistance: guides candidates, answers FAQs, and schedules interviews perfectly.

In 2023, we experienced the growth of the requirement to headhunt talents instead of fill the roles of actively applying people. At the very same time, the increased circulation of applying candidates looked like a favorable change, but in fact, employment it did more work in terms of the need to reply to everybody, examine each profile’s viability to the function and send more rejection emails.

The effectiveness increase that the AI and automation tools supplied enabled us to make the procedure much faster and more constant. We achieved an improvement in the Time to Hire metric and the drop in Voluntary Turnover, and, at the same time – an increase in staff member NPS.

Rethinking and upgrading your company brand name to adapt to the modifications

The nature of work and the expectations towards the workplace and employment employer have substantially moved in the past years. There is also a generational change in the labor force – Gen Z is getting in the workforce as a part of the Boomer generation is retiring.

To keep up and go beyond these expectations and keep hiring and retaining leading talent, employers need to reassess their employer brand name and employment offering. At our end-of-the-year webinar, Kaarel Holm from MeetFrank shared that the Pareto principle applies in their user base – 20% of the finest employers get 80% of the candidates. No employer wishes to miss out on employing the finest talent.

To turn into one of the best, openness is anticipated throughout all phases of the talent method. This means leveraging the best technology and tools to support human competencies and constructing a strong employer brand name based upon them.

Diversity (DEI), versatility, transparency and the increase of relatable organisations are the keywords in focus for company brand names in 2024.

We have actually seen a great deal of change throughout 2023.

Our Q3 Flexible Working Index (a report which tracks evolving trends throughout the versatile jobs market) revealed a sharp shift far from remote work among employers – fully remote roles represented just 4% of job posts between July and September, on average.

Meanwhile, jobseekers’ demand for remote work remains strong, however our information shows that the more versatility companies offer personnel around working locations, the more popular they are amongst candidates.

– Secondly, the traditional work week has actually significantly evolved over the previous year.

The timeless Mon-Fri is taking a backseat. More and more companies are presenting an alternative technique, which consists of variations of the 4-day week, the 4.5-day week, and the 9-day fortnight.
Demand for the 4-day work week has actually skyrocketed, with approximately 47.4% of Flexa users noting it as their favored method of working throughout October. During the exact same duration, 37.5% picked the 4.5-day week as their choice, and 14.1% specified the 9-day fortnight was theirs.
