In 2023, we experienced the development of the requirement to headhunt talents rather than fill the roles of actively using people. At the same time, the increased flow of applying candidates looked like a favorable change, but in fact, it did more work in terms of the requirement to respond to everyone, examine each profile’s suitability to the role and send more rejection emails.

The performance increase that the AI and automation tools provided permitted us to make the procedure faster and more consistent. We attained an improvement in the Time to Hire metric and the drop in Voluntary Turnover, and, at the exact same time – an increase in employee NPS.

Rethinking and redesigning your employer brand to adjust to the changes

The nature of work and the expectations towards the work environment and company have actually significantly shifted in the past years. There is also a generational modification in the workforce – Gen Z is getting in the workforce as a part of the Boomer generation is retiring.

To maintain and go beyond these expectations and keep employing and keeping top skill, employers have to reconsider their company brand and offering.

No company wishes to lose out on hiring the very best talent.

To become one of the very best, openness is anticipated throughout all stages of the skill strategy. This implies leveraging the right technology and tools to support human proficiencies and developing a strong company brand name based on them.

Diversity (DEI), versatility, transparency and the rise of relatable organisations are the keywords in focus for employer brands in 2024.

We’ve seen a lot of change throughout 2023.

– Firstly, the need for the workplace on a versatile basis has actually rebounded. While fully remote and remote-first opportunities remain dominant amongst jobseekers, hybrid functions are ending up being progressively popular.

Our Q3 Flexible Working Index (a report which tracks developing patterns across the versatile tasks market) exposed a sharp shift far from remote work among companies – fully remote roles represented just 4% of task posts between July and September, on average.

Meanwhile, jobseekers’ demand for remote work stays strong, however our data reveals that the more flexibility companies offer personnel around working areas, the more popular they are amongst prospects.

– Secondly, the conventional work week has actually considerably evolved over the past year.

The traditional Mon-Fri is taking a rear seat. Increasingly more business are presenting an alternative method, that includes variations of the 4-day week, the 4.5-day week, and the 9-day fortnight.
Demand for the 4-day work week has actually increased, with an average of 47.4% of Flexa users noting it as their preferred method of working during October. During the very same period, 37.5% chosen the 4.5-day week as their preference, and 14.1% stated the 9-day fortnight was theirs.

The second one would be trust. 2023 was infamous for the variety of layoffs, I feel that there is a growing deficit of trust from the prospects side.
