VANCOUVER HEADHUNTERS

Vancouver Headhunters — 2021 is flying by so quickly and we have had a lot of takeaways when it comes to recruitment.  If the experts are correct, this year is going to be an exciting year for hiring and recruiting. Fifty-six percent of companies indicate that their hiring volumes will increase this year but only 35% of those companies anticipate adding extra staff in the HR (Recruiting / Talent Acquisition) department.

Recruitment Trends

Vancouver headhunters are anticipating a continuous upward trend in the use of technology for sourcing and candidate outreach.  However, they also see the classic human elements of recruiting in the form of higher-touch relationships between recruiters and candidates, maintaining its stance as a huge factor in overall recruitment success.

We have listened to other experts and here are the things to watch out for this year:

  1. Human Element

Effective recruiters all agree that human interaction can never be ignored regardless of recent technological advancements. Although one can reach a candidate via LinkedIn or other job portals, face-to-face interviews are still the best way to go in order to find the right candidates. You must get to know your candidates and they must get to know you. Good recruiters create relationships with candidates and always look to strike a balance between the use of technology and cultivating human relations for hiring success.

 

  1. Candidate Quality

Providing quality candidates is the lifeblood of a successful recruiting business.  This year, we are expecting to see a push towards improving strategies to source the best ones, whether they are in the job market or not. Recruiters are expected to up their game by (1) creating better job postings that genuinely describe the position and shows readers what to expect as a candidate; (2) ask well thought out interview questions that truly uncover the candidate’s fit to the position; (3) closely involve hiring managers in the process to ensure that they end up being assigned the employee that they really need.

  1. Proactive Recruiting

As we head deeper into the year, Vancouver headhunters will be focused more on employer branding. Companies will have to strengthen their company’s identity and make themselves well-known for who they are and what they do. This will open many doors to a more proactive recruiting model which is rooted to the employer’s brand. Social media will also play a critical role in the overall recruitment process.  The company’s digital presence increases awareness about its culture and actively promotes job openings.

After 10 years in the recruitment business, we have seen a lot of improvements and advancements in the way that employers pick their best candidates. This year, we adapt to even more changes, and we are happy to use them to help you find your BEST Candidate!  iLink Global Recruiting Inc. is Vancouver’s hardest working recruiter!  Call us today or visit iLinkGlobalRecruiting.com.
