How a
recruitment consultancy can add value in a new world
The COVID-19
pandemic has completely changed how companies attract, recruit and retain new
employees. Businesses around the globe have swiftly embraced remote
working. While there are huge benefits of in-person meetings, it’s difficult to
ignore that many businesses have thrived working remote. For recruitment
consultancies in Switzerland, they’ve had to adapt to a new way of hiring.
The recruitment industry has entered a new era defined by flexibility and the
increasing use of technology. In a post-COVID
world, recruitment consultants will be high in demand for their expertise,
but the landscape has changed, paving the way for a range of challenges. So,
how can recruiters continue to add value to clients and candidates?
Dedicated,
relevant expertise
One of the major benefits
of using a recruitment consultancy is that they provide staffing solutions
for businesses across a range of different sectors, and they remain up-to-date with market trends, which includes recruiting during this challenging time. For
example, at Swisslinx, we’re able to give our clients an overview of the
market, helping them to plan their recruiting and ensure they only hire the
best candidates. Right now, it’s all the more important that job specifications
are in line with the market. Recruiters can provide consultancy around job
specs, offer sector expertise and engage passive talent using platforms like
LinkedIn. With businesses receiving a strong push into the world of virtual
working, recruiters have been forced to provide their expertise virtually. This
means recruitment consultancies, like Swisslinx, have been able to connect with
people more efficiently and build strong and lasting relationships.
Streamlined
process
There’s no doubt
that COVID-19 has accelerated the rise of technology. With in-person contact
limited, businesses will need to become more agile and innovate fast, to thrive
in this competitive environment. However, the recruitment process can still be
a long and daunting task for many businesses, despite the new tools available.
One of the most desirable attributes of a recruitment consultancy is they can
streamline the whole process, from CVs and interviews to talent community
building. While the lack of in-person meetings with clients and candidates can
be a challenge, video interviews can take place anywhere. In the future,
there’s likely to be advanced recruitment tools to facilitate virtual meetings,
so that all the information can be stored and analysed in one place.
Hiring in a new
world
The current
uncertainty around the employment landscape means that businesses will need to
adopt a strategic mindset to attract the right type of candidates. One of the
ways recruitment consultancies can add value in this area is by helping
companies make their hiring much more targeted. Recruiting in a particular
niche area has become essential in recent years, but with more candidates on
the market, it’s much harder to find suitable candidates. At Swisslinx, we focus on recruitment
markets such as financial services,
technology,
science and engineering across many sectors, which enables us to provide
tailored solutions to our clients. There’s no doubt the future of recruitment
will be more personalised and holistic and tailored to the specific needs of
clients.
