Life does not stand still — the same applies to tech recruiting, which is constantly changing, and developing and dynamically reflects everything that is happening in the world. Let's try to think and fantasize about what lies ahead. Clarification: it is about tech recruitment. Today we are sharing seven predictions that, in our opinion, may well come true in a few years.
The demand for recruitment services will grow
Many companies either expand the staff of recruiters or contact IT recruitment agencies. This trend will continue because the business needs to develop, expand the team, and therefore cooperate with tech recruiters.
You will need to learn how to make decisions in conditions of uncertainty
As recent years have shown, a variety of situations can occur in the world that is rarely impossible to predict. The hiring market will react to them and change under them: hiring may suddenly take hold, hiring conditions and requirements for candidates, selection processes, etc. may change dramatically. This means that every recruiter will have to adapt quickly to new situations, make decisions quickly and react quickly even in conditions of uncertainty.
The importance of some soft skills will grow
In addition to the already mentioned decision-making in conditions of uncertainty, by 2025, the IT recruiter will need the developed skills of problem-solving, conflict management, negotiation, emotional intelligence, empathy, and teamwork.
...As well as certain hard skills
For example, working not only with those candidates who are actively looking for a job but also with “passive" ones. The ability to interest such a candidate in a vacancy and bring them to dialogue will be appreciated even more. Passive candidates are huge opportunities for a recruiter, and competent work with them allows and will allow further expand the candidate funnel and effectively fill job openings.
The pool of recruiting services and tools will expand
Even now, an IT recruiter, as a rule, uses several tools at once in their daily work. Considering that recruiting continues to change and develop, most likely, even more, relevant and modern solutions will appear that will make the recruiter's work easier and more convenient.
Competition between IT recruitment agencies will be getting harder
Even now, an IT recruiter, as a rule, uses several tools at once in their daily work. Considering that recruiting continues to change and develop, most likely, even more, relevant and modern solutions will appear that will make the recruiter's work easier and more convenient.
