Q2 Industry Trends: What’s New in the Job Market? As we wrap up Q2, let's take a deep dive into some of the key trends and insights shaping the job market. Staying informed about these developments can help you stay ahead in your career or business. Here's what we've observed: Focus on Skills over Degrees: Experience and demonstrably relevant skills are becoming increasingly important than traditional educational qualifications. Companies are recognizing that valuable skills can be acquired through various avenues, not just university degrees. Early Career & Diverse Hiring: Attracting young talent and creating a diverse workforce are priorities for many companies. This includes focusing on skills and potential in entry-level hires, and actively seeking candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. Prioritizing Candidate Experience: The recruitment process itself is under scrutiny. Companies are aiming to create a smooth and positive candidate experience to attract and retain top talent. This might involve faster turnaround times, clear communication, and a focus on building relationships. Data-Driven Recruitment: Leveraging data analytics allows companies to identify the best talent pools, tailor job postings more effectively, and refine their recruitment strategies for better results. The Rise of Talent Marketplaces: Online platforms connecting skilled professionals with businesses are growing in popularity. This creates a more dynamic talent pool and allows for a wider reach for both employers and job seekers. We're thrilled to welcome Q3, ready to tackle new challenges and embrace fresh opportunities #ThankYou #LookingForward

The current job landscape is indeed evolving rapidly, necessitating employees to adapt and learn new skill sets. As experienced professionals retire, positions open up, but there’s a shortage of next-generation talent with the right experience. Employers are now more open to hiring candidates who may need time to develop the necessary skills for their roles. If you haven't learned a new skill in the last 6 months, you may want to ask yourself what you can do to stay viable. Would you agree or disagree? What have you experienced in your current workplace? #careers #future

The Talent Whisperer | Talent Acquisition Manager-NEU| Diversity & Inclusion | HR Professional | Talent Attraction & Employer Branding
I recently came across a post from a from a recruiter that sparked my interest. They argued that 'skills get you hired, but behaviors get you promoted' and highlighted the importance of behavioral interviews in predicting long-term success. They made a compelling point that skills can become outdated, but behaviors like adaptability, strategic thinking, and collaboration are essential for growth and retention. 🤔... Let´s get into it! While behaviors are important, let's not oversimplify the complexity of human growth and adaptation. Not all skills are transferable, and some require specialized training and experience. In today's economic climate, companies need immediate expertise to maintain operational efficacy. A skills-first approach makes financial sense and complements behavioral interviews. Let's take a balanced approach to hiring, considering both skills and behaviors. Invest in upskilling existing employees and prioritize transferable skills for new hires. This ensures agility, loyalty, and retention - crucial in a volatile economy. New employees should possess direct or transferable skills to contribute effectively within a short timeframe (ideally six months). This is no longer a preference, but a necessity for sustainable business practices. #Hiring #SkillsVsBehaviors #BalancedApproach #SustainableBusiness

Ever wonder how jobs get filled? Typically it's a mix of applicants, referrals, and discoverable candidates. A recent study used aggregated data across multiple industries and professions to provide some rough ratios on how jobs get filled. Here were the results: 50% Applicants 30% Referrals 20% Discoverable candidates Jobs being filled by internal applicants are 'table steaks' in TA operations. Discoverable candidates depend on a strong internal recruitment function. Referrals are the real golden window of opportunity. - Candidates are fast-tracked in the recruitment process. Cutting way down on time-to-fill. - Candidates are almost assured to be good culture fits. - And morale goes way up. Good referral programs align with age-old principles. People want to be happy and relationships matter most! #referralprogram #placements #recruitment
