“Before there was Generative AI, there was AI.” It’s a tongue-in-cheek statement I’ve made over the past year and a half in an effort to slow the frenzy and ground us in the reality that AI, the regular, non-generative kind, has been automating tasks and transforming industries for years. In my role as the head of Radancy Labs, I keep a regular pulse on the world of work, talent acquisition and how macro-forces, such as advancements in technology, play a role in shaping the hiring process.
Candidate resentment in the job market is on the rise, according to the latest Global Candidate Experience Benchmark Report. This global candidate experience study reported that candidate resentment has increased by 40% since 2016.
Generative AI, Gen Z and Employer Brand – three topics you’ve heard a lot about over the past few years as the talent acquisition field has been adopting technology and adapting strategies to keep pace with hiring demands. All while working to keep up with the rapidly shifting demands of candidates. But what do these three TA trends have to do with each other?
It’s no secret that talent acquisition teams today face a lot of pressure as they navigate change and uncertainty. Attracting top talent in what has been a historically competitive job market for years has proven to be a difficult task, one that C-suite executives see as critical to overall business performance.
As Gen Z enters the workforce in growing numbers, talent acquisition teams need to understand the unique characteristics and preferences of this generation to effectively attract and retain top talent. Although Gen Z is relatively new to the world of work, by 2025 they will account for more than a quarter of the global workforce. With such a large presence, attracting and retaining Gen Z is the 2nd biggest challenge for recruiting teams in the next 5 years, according to a LinkedIn study of TA professionals.
Incorporating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) into a company's hiring strategy is vital for success in today's diverse and evolving workplace. When companies bring together employees from different genders, ages, backgrounds, ethnicities and experiences, they benefit from a variety of ideas, perspectives and solutions. This not only drives innovation, but it can also help overall performance, making the company more appealing to potential employees.
Hiring processes are changing fast, and automation and AI are leading the charge. According to the latest Lighthouse Research and Advisory (LHRA) report, based on data from over 1,200 global employers and 1,000 candidates, these tech tools are now essential for making the recruitment process smoother and more individualized. AI is taking over tasks like sourcing and scheduling interviews, making things quicker and more efficient. Plus, having solid data on hiring metrics is a game-changer for showing the real value of your recruitment efforts. Other trends to keep an eye on include the need for building strong relationships with candidates and the importance of being transparent about pay and job expectations. Staying ahead in talent acquisition means embracing these changes and making the most of what tech has to offer. Here’s a breakdown of some key trends to look out for this year, drawn from the LHRA’s 2024 Talent Acquisition Trends Report.
