Why You Need to Invest in HR Tech and Analytics Now

When it comes to recruitment after the pandemic, recruiters are finding that the fight for talent is fiercer than they anticipated. What does this mean? Recruiters are using new strategies and adjusting their approach to bring in qualified applicants. Job seekers today say candidate experience is an important consideration, so companies should take note: an outstanding candidate experience will set them apart from the competition. Candidate tracking tools are a crucial part of an excellent employee experience that starts at the time of application.

At present, Gen Z employees comprise 24% of the global workforce, a number that will only climb as they continue to age into full-time positions. The changing expectations of this new generation of workers means that modern HR leaders need to expand their talent management strategies. Talent management is not one-size-fits-all — it’s a variety of strategies that enable the recruitment, retention, and management of top talent from all generations. In a competitive talent market, understanding what it takes to recruit and retain Generation Z employees is crucial for continued success.

Recruitment and hiring can be overwhelming for any human resources department, especially when hiring for many positions at a time. Paperwork quickly piles up, and screening, scheduling, and interviewing dozens of candidates means your recruiters have less time for making connections. Manual hiring processes make it harder to reach and hire top talent, especially in organizations that are consistently hiring for open positions. Many organizations are turning to software and digital tools to improve and accelerate candidate screening and selection.
