- Future of recruiting: five fields of action for employers
Summary
The coronavirus pandemic has also turned the world of work upside down and caused numerous changes. In this context, ‘New Work’ is one of the HR buzzwords par excellence. But how do applicants see it? What expectations and wishes do they have of employers in the post-corona era and how do these match up with the assessments of HR managers?
In part 1 of the major softgarden labour market study “The New Era of Work”, we surveyed around 3,500 applicants and 250 HR managers on the future of recruiting.
84% of applicants and almost 92% of HR managers expect the world of work to change permanently. Two of the most important terms here are home office and remote work: while more and more applicants are specifically looking for remote options, many employers have barely reacted to this change so far.
In general, expectations have risen in terms of speed, technical equipment and digitalised processes. Virtual job interviews, for example, should become a company’s standard offering as quickly as possible in order to keep its own recruiting competitive.
At the end of the “New Work” labour market study, softgarden compiled five fields of action for employers. They are intended to help companies lay the foundations for future-proof recruiting.
