“Why Innovators Will Win The War For Talent”<\/a>. Based on a study conducted by Boston Consulting Group, he proves that recruiting delivers the highest profit growth in HR in contrast to other HR functions like employer branding or performance management. He concludes that “recruiting will be one of the hot careers in the next decade”, i.e. the demand for human resource professionals will steadily increase.<\/p>\nDue to global skill shortages, HR professionals will have to widen their skill set: In order to make their company more attractive for the best candidates they have to know more and more about marketing. (Imagine a product instead of a company that is to be made desirable for potential customers. It\u2019s the same idea.).<\/p>\n
The competence profile of HR professionals is shifting! Recruiters need to analyse and understand their candidates in order to address them specifically and to successfully recruit them. Finnigan makes it perfectly clear: “The recruiters who transform themselves into marketers become as important – if not more – than any function.\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\nEmployee retention is equally important<\/h5>\n
From our point of view, however, employee retention is at least as important as recruitment. The times when people stayed longer than 10 years with a company are fading. Additionally, good staff are often headhunted by competitors. With the change in employee expectations (work-life-balance, salary, etc.) comes an increasing lack of loyalty and identification within a company. Where expectations are not met or benefits do not fit, job hopping seems popular. In some industries, this may lead lead to serious staff shortage and thus to decreasing productivity for the entire company.<\/p>\n
Happy employees are without a doubt the very best publicity for a company in recruitment. Finnigan shows that employees hired through employee referral are hired 55% faster than those who came through career sites.<\/strong> Here we have the advantage of a greater chance of company fit, because the candidate gets the information he wants from the employee and can decide whether they are attracted to the company or not. \u00a0Also, we have cost and time savings through a simplified and shortened recruitment process.<\/p>\nAs a result, the two lectures we attended do not provide very new insights, but confirm existing trends. For Germany, we hope that studies like the above mentioned mobile recruiting survey will provide real insights into current recruitment practice and reveal how far trends are being implemented for real.<\/p>\n
