#5. LATEST TRENDS IN TALENT ACQUISITION


#5. LATEST TRENDS IN TALENT ACQUISITION


Welcome to today’s episode on the latest trends in talent acquisition. As the job market becomes increasingly competitive, it’s more important than ever for businesses to attract and retain top talent. In this episode, we’ll discuss some of the latest trends in talent acquisition and how businesses can use them to gain a competitive edge.

One of the biggest trends in talent acquisition today is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. These technologies can be used to automate many of the processes involved in talent acquisition, from sourcing candidates to screening résumé and conducting initial interviews.

Unilever uses a chatbot called “U-First” to engage with candidates, answers their questions, and provide a personalized experience. This has helped the company save time and resources,
while improving the candidate experience. AI can also be used to analyze data on employee performance and engagement, which can help businesses make more informed decisions
about their hiring practices.

Another trend in talent acquisition is the focus on diversity and inclusion. Businesses are recognizing the importance of building diverse teams that reflect the communities they serve.

This not only helps to create more inclusive workplace, but it also helps businesses to tap
into new markets and perspectives.

To achieve this, businesses are using a variety of strategies, including unconscious bias training, targeted outreach to underrepresented groups, and implementing diversity metrics into their hiring practices.

Airbnb, the hospitality company, has implemented a diversity and inclusion program, which includes unconscious bias training for employees involved in hiring and a commitment to increasing diversity in leadership positions.

One trend that has emerged in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic is the rise of remote work.
Many businesses have shifted to a remote or hybrid work model, which has opened up new
opportunities for talent acquisition. Now, businesses can source candidates from anywhere in the world, which means they can tap into a much larger pool of talent.

This has also led to a shift in the way businesses approach onboarding and employee engagement, with many adopting digital tools and virtual events to create a sense of community and connection among remote workers.

Salesforce: the cloud-based software company has announced a “work from anywhere” policy, which allows employees to work remotely, from an office, or a combination of both. The company is also investing in new technology to support virtual collaboration and team building.

Finally, businesses are taking a more proactive approach to talent acquisition by building
talent pipelines. Rather than waiting until a position becomes available to start recruiting,
businesses are taking a longer-term view by identifying high-potential candidates and
building relationships with them over time.
This can involve everything from attending industry events and conferences to offering
internships and mentorship opportunities. IBM has implemented a “Reskill and Reboot” program to help employees develop new skills and transition into new roles within the company, creating a pipeline of high- potential candidates for future positions.

So, those are just a few of the latest trends in talent acquisition. By adopting these strategies,
businesses can create a more efficient and effective talent acquisition process, while also
building diverse, engaged, and high- performing teams.
