Recruitment process outsourcing companies have seen affirmative growth in 2019. As the trend continues and we gear up to enter the New Year, we, at Glocal take a look at the future prospects of RPO in India in 2020.
Placing significant emphasis on employer brand:
While RPO’s did this in 2019 as well, they will continue to help candidates mentally shift from job seekers to future employees. Through effective employer branding, RPo’S will focus on conveying what company values as a workplace and which employees will be best suited for the former.
Using video, graphics, and social media to showcase employer brand and company culture has become very popular over the past year. This also helps in tapping passive candidates.RPO’s will have to constantly keep coming up with new and creative ways to keep this recruiting trend alive in 2020.
Video Recruiting
In a fast-paced and competitive industry, recruiters ought to use technology to take care of some of the more routine aspects of their jobs. Using video in the hiring process is not a new thing – Skype interviews have been around for a few years now, but in 2020, video recruiting will become increasingly widespread. It also makes the prospects of recruiting global.
Soft Skills is the future of work:
A big recruiting trend that is projected to gain further traction in the New Year is recruiters being far more flexible with the candidate benchmarks that they are looking for. In recent years, employers have been faced with a ‘skills gap’, in which an increasing number of job seekers are seemingly underprepared or under-skilled for the workforce.
To accommodate this, many companies have started to recruit for soft, interpersonal skills that can be applied to a professional setting rather than the hard, technical skills one might learn in their post-secondary education. Skills like attention to detail, teamwork skills, and communication skills are now more valuable than ever. 2020 is likely to see the recruitment process outsourcing companies leverage this kind of recruiting.
