The future of recruiting and workforce management

1. THE FUTURE OF RECRUITING AND WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT Talent acquisition and management no longer happen the conventional way. During the last decade or so, HR management has undergone a radical transformation, with much of the credit going to Monster, LinkedIn, Indeed, Careerbuilder and other similar names from the virtual world. The result is intensified competition among organizations to acquire the best talent, which makes it essential for talent acquisition managers to do away with old ways of hiring and management and play by the new rules. Recruitment Process SEGMENTATION OF ROLES The segmentation of roles is essential to find the right candidates for critical vacancies. If you are looking for a candidate who will contribute to the business strategy, it is vital that  management comes up with the definition of “critical talent”, so the recruiter is sure about how to go about finding the right candidate. SHARING THE RESPONSIBILITY It’s time that recruiters extend their interaction with the candidate beyond the hiring and joining process. They must interact with line managers to understand the present and future needs. The better understanding a recruiter has of a role, higher the chances of finding the right talent.

Workforce Management AGE DIVERSITY Expect your office to be filled with workforce of different age groups. As life expectancy is increasing, more people will be willing to work till their retirement age. Recruiters will see a mix of millennials and baby boomers in organizations, which means there will be a need to develop office culture and policies that are suitable for both the generations LESS GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS The number of employees who will be working from various geographic locations will be high in future. While this presents a great opportunity for the HR managers to hire candidates from across the globe, tracking their work will be difficult. They will need to use smart systems and advanced CRMs to bring all the employees on a single platform. Wrapping Up The future might be tough for HR managers, especially if they don’t understand the importance of restructuring their work processes. On the flipside, with no geographical barriers in recruitment, HR managers who are proactively adopting new technologies and aligning themselves with the changing industry trends can hope for better times. Relying on the services of a staffing agency is another way to get expert recruiters to work for you, without you having to hire a full-time in-house time. Source:  http://bit.ly/2xEzJMB
