Dear HR Professionals,
In this week’s newsletter, we will focus on three main themes that are trending in human resource management: candidate expectations, employer branding, and the impact of remote working on hiring. These themes are crucial for HR professionals to understand and incorporate into their strategies to ensure a positive candidate experience, strengthen their employer brand, and adapt to the changing landscape of remote work.
Firstly, the Candidate Expectations report surveyed 12,000 candidates across North America and Europe, exploring what candidates love and hate about the recruitment process and their expectations of employers. It is essential for organizations to understand why candidates leave the recruitment process and how their hiring experience impacts their psychology. By improving their recruitment processes, organizations can enhance the candidate experience and attract top talent.
Secondly, the Edelman Trust Barometer revealed that business and employers are perceived as both most trustworthy and most competent institutions. This highlights the importance of employer branding in building trust with candidates. HR professionals should consider how to leverage this trust in their employer branding efforts to attract and retain top talent.
Lastly, the impact of remote working on hiring is a crucial theme for organizations to consider. The increasing desire for remote work among job seekers, contrasted with the eroding commitment of employers, has downstream impacts on offer acceptance rates and other key performance indicators. HR professionals need to adapt their hiring processes to accommodate the growing demand for remote work to remain competitive in the talent market.
In conclusion, understanding and incorporating these themes into HR strategies is crucial for organizations to remain competitive in the talent market, strengthen their employer brand, and provide a positive candidate experience. By aligning their recruitment processes with candidate expectations, leveraging trust in their employer branding efforts, and adapting to the impact of remote work on hiring, organizations can strategically position themselves for success in the evolving landscape of human resource management.
