Recruitment industry trends have been affected by the disruption the world and workspaces faced in the pandemic. As a result, recent trends in the selection process are more inclined towards virtual hiring due to the pandemic.

Here are five new trends in talent acquisition that we predict may shape recruitment in 2022.

1. Virtual recruitment

One of the emergent talent acquisition trends has to be virtual recruitment. Due to the unprecedented impact of the pandemic, companies had to shift their recruitment practices almost entirely into virtual mode.

This trend would continue, as it is cost-effective and, frankly speaking, saves a lot of time on both the recruiter’s and the candidate’s ends. In addition, this change in the selection process could allow companies to expand their candidate pool to remote candidates.

2. Use of artificial intelligence in recruitment

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the emerging trends in recruitment and selection. AI is transforming candidate evaluation and screening, which is changing the HR and recruitment process. Employee onboarding and overall employee management could improve to a great extent by integrating AI in recruitment processes.

AI can also completely automate candidate sourcing by assessing and screening employees, which, in turn, could optimize the recruitment process. It can become a global recruiting trend, as it would provide additional insights to the recruiters along with the candidate’s work experience, education, location, and other parameters.

3. Predictive analytics

Predictive analytics has turned out to be a good suit for companies that focus on leveraging it. It is one of the latest hiring trends that is helping companies in accessing and predicting a prospective candidate’s behavior.

Recruiters were already able to filter potential hires based on their work history, location, education, etc., on various tech platforms. Predictive analytics has provided further insights by supplying recruiters with lists of the most appropriate hires for the job vacancy (including those not actively looking for work).

It can even predict when an employee of another organization is preparing to quit, allowing companies to gain an edge in their employee selection process by making appropriate interventions here.

Changing recruitment trends such as predictive analytics could flourish in 2021, which could unravel the best-suited candidates for the job role.

4. Recruitment through social media

Social media can turn out to be one of the best practices and emerging trends in recruitment and selection. It seems logical for companies to utilize social media platforms such as Facebook for recruitment. Recruiters can use social media features such as posts, photos, videos, and hashtags as a part of their recruitment strategy.

Companies might even encourage their existing employees to share their achievements over social media platforms to attract more potential employees.

5. Automation

It is feared that employees would no longer be needed due to the rapid advancement in automation. To assuage these concerns, we could see companies coming up with new policies in the workplace to give their employees a sense of belonging and well-being.

However, some experts also believe that automation technology would improve business efficiency to a great extent that would not impact or replace the employees’ position. Automation would enhance the productivity of the business and overall working experience.
