  1. Unique Benefits: There will continue to be creative thought around benefits to develop robust, competitive packages. Think on-site services and flexibility.
  2. Technology: Technology will make things more customized and automated - think chatbots and integrated systems. Data analytics will also be key for recruiting.

  3. Utilizing Internal Resources: A referral from within is powerful, so employers will be encouraging and incentivizing them. However that assumes the retention of happy employees, which leads to…

  4. Culture & Engagement: Happy employees make good employees who, in turn, attract other great talent. Today’s workforce looks for a personality fit in a company, and for employers that have created a comfortable, positive environment with clear paths for professional progress.
  5. healthy-apple-fruits-orange.jpgRethinking Performance Reviews: Expect a shift to more regular (versus annual) evaluations that are more personal, less formal, and involve more people (i.e. 360 degree feedback).

  6. Corporate Wellness: This will continue to be a focus, with two agendas: a healthier workforce that incur lower healthcare costs, and higher employee satisfaction.
  7. Improving the Candidate Experience: The employer no longer has all the power, with the candidate forced to sit and wait. Recruiters will want to exhibit positivity throughout the process - personalized, timely check-ins and thoughtful updates, including rejections.
  8. Diversity: Companies will be looking to employ people of different backgrounds, ethnicities, and leveling any gender gaps in order to create a more balanced culture.

  9. Rise in Freelancers: As a means to reduce personnel costs, employers will be looking to freelancers and contractors more for those specific needs that don’t arise everyday.

  10. Video: The rise of interactive videos in recruiting and interviewing strategies will add a nice personal touch and show a human side of the organization.
