In the 1990s & 2000s, recruitment was about placing ads in newspapers or working with traditional agencies like Brook Street, hoping for the right candidates to come across your listing or to pop into the High Street agency to register. But today’s hiring landscape has drastically evolved. Candidates are no longer browsing Sunday papers; they’re job hunting 24/7 on mobile apps, job boards, and social media. Platforms like Indeed, Total Jobs, Google for Jobs & LinkedIn have revolutionised the process, making job searches instantaneous, global, and far more accessible.
Recruiting in 2024 is about leveraging digital tools for both speed and reach. With automated applicant tracking systems (ATS), AI-powered candidate screening, and targeted ads on social media, companies can now find candidates faster and more precisely than ever.
If your recruitment strategy is still based on old-school methods of using a recruiter? Or do you choose just one job board to keep it simple & costs down?
The modern candidate expects job listings to be visible on their devices, available whenever they choose to search. With real-time updates, mobile alerts, and social media engagement, candidates are no longer passive participants in the hiring process—they’re actively seeking opportunities all the time across various platforms.
