Realistically, no recruiter has a crystal ball to see what’s coming in the future. And with social recruiting, so much can change in an instant from one week to the next. But there are some areas of social recruiting that we know with some degree of certainty will become the hottest trends of the coming year.
Top 2014 Trends in Social Recruiting to Watch
While you are doing your part by taking advantage of all the resources that Social-Hire has to offer you as a recruiter, we’d also like to take some time out to predict what we believe will be some leading trends in social recruiting in the near future. This is so you can be a more informed and smarter recruiter!
#1 – Social Recruiting will be Majority Based on Mobile Apps
The most recent surveys on social media use behavior indicate that the vast venezuela phone number resource majority of users access their networks via mobile applications. As it stands, 60 percent of all social media use is via mobile devices like smart phones and tablets. It’s not surprising that this is a growing trend when many job seekers as well as recruitment teams are accessing recruitment related social networks on the go. We predict that by the end of 2014, this number will jump to as much as 70 percent or more of the total use of social recruitment apps and tools.
#2 – Recruiters will Improve Their Focus on Diversity Hiring
In a recent post, we talked about how minorities use social networks and how recruiters can stay educated about their efforts to hire for diversity. In the coming year, more efforts will be made by recruiters to reach out to candidates who previously have not adopted social networking resources. Recruiters will integrate more social recruiting apps and facilitate the use of social networks in their sourcing processes, blending traditional diversity hiring efforts with modern social recruitment best practices.
