Hiring trends for 2021 show that companies will need to focus more on diversity, equity & inclusion in hiring. Remote work is here to stay, candidates will continue to need assurance that workplaces are safe, and upskilling will help companies—and staffing firms—fill hard-to-hire positions.
To boost your recruitment efforts, when developing your job descriptions include Diversity, Equity & Inclusion efforts as part of your brand messaging. Companies should look beyond past categorizations of people and look to nurturing each person as an individual. Showing your commitment to diversity and inclusion in hiring and company branding will enhance your message.
Remote working will continue well into 2021/2022 and as employees have proven that remote working can be as efficient and productive as being in the office, many organizations will allow employees to work remotely permanently. There’s also a renewed focus on mental and emotional wellbeing.
If you’re looking to fill the positions you have, start by looking at the talent you already have on hand. It is important to look for transferable skills within your organization. A bad hire costs companies time and money every year. Many times, soft skills are an innate trait and if you already have employee’s with great soft skills, training them for specific positions and roles would be a better option fiscally.
Like with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion recruitment advertising efforts must talk about the ways in which the company values the health and safety of its workforce. This can include specifics regarding workplace safety practices including sanitizing, social distancing protocols, and more. Employer brand messaging solutions can help share your company’s health & safety protocols with candidates.
