Trends in recruiting

Recruiting new employees is becoming increasingly complex. This is due, among other things, to the multitude of job portals as well as the diverse social media channels where potential candidates move these days.

Moving away from conservative recruitment channels

Recruiters in the field of active sourcing know exactly in which channels potential candidates can be found and how they should be approached.,  to fill specific positions quickly.

Active sourcing and use of social media channels
In the area of active sourcing, social media channels are very important. Here, potential candidates can be contacted who would be open to a change but are not actively looking for a new job. However, many human resources departments lack the expertise to conduct active sourcing. It can be worthwhile to work with external personnel service providers or recruiters who are specialized in active sourcing and who can help companies in a short time.it Recommend ideal candidates can.

Cost savings in the search for specialists
It is to be expected that the demand for executives and professionals will continue to rise steadily. Companies must therefore expect longer recruitment times and costs in the future, as the search processes can become more complex. In order to minimize such costs, it is advisable to consider various recruitment channels and to use them sensibly and in a job-related manner.

In conclusion, it can be said that the search for suitable employees is becoming increasingly complex, and thus a high level of expertise in recruitment is required, otherwise recruitment time and costs will increase to a high degree. Outsourcing the recruitment process to personnel agencies can therefore bring a profit here.
