Learning some Recruitment Buzzwords!

The world of recruitment is constantly evolving, with new trends and buzzwords emerging regularly. Staying informed about these latest concepts and strategies is crucial for both job seekers and employers looking to stay ahead in the competitive job market. Here are some key recruitment buzzwords you should know about: 

  

Quiet Hiring

Quiet hiring refers to the practice of recruiting talent without actively advertising job openings. Employers may use this approach to avoid a flood of applicants or to target passive candidates, who are not actively looking for a new job. This trend started in early 2023, when the US companies were indulged in massive lay-offs, so that they could reduce costs as a future recession was anticipated to be around the corner. 

 

Quiet Quitting

Quiet quitting is a common trend in the Gen Z, as they prioritize work-life balance. In this case, employees only fulfil the most minimum requirement of their jobs rather than quitting. It is related to disengaged work culture of the company or the workers burnout. Other factors like compensation and how employees are treated at work and lack of career development opportunities can also lead to quiet quitting.

  

The Great Resignation

The Great Resignation refers to the unprecedented number of employees voluntarily leaving their jobs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This mass exodus has forced companies to reevaluate their recruitment and retention strategies. However, the pandemic cannot be blamed for this phenomenon alone. Other factors, which have prompted employees to leave their workplaces include- stagnant compensation and increasing cost of living, rigid work policies, continuous job dissatisfaction and no chance for career development.

  

Data-Driven Recruitment

Data-driven recruitment involves using analytics and insights to improve the hiring process. By leveraging data from various sources, such as applicant tracking systems and performance metrics, employers can make more informed decisions about who to hire. Modern Talent management platforms and ATS have embedded data driven recruitment features enabling recruiters to analytically measure the effectiveness of sourcing strategies and take data backed decisions throughout the hiring funnel

  

Diversity Recruitment

Diversity recruitment focuses on attracting and hiring candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, with the goal of creating a more inclusive and representative workforce. Companies are increasingly recognizing the benefits of diversity in driving innovation and fostering a positive work culture.

  

Candidate Experience

Candidate experience refers to the overall impression that job seekers have of a company’s recruitment process. Providing a positive candidate experience is essential for attracting top talent and building a strong employer brand.

  

Employer Branding

Employer branding is the way in which a company is perceived as an employer. Building a strong employer brand can help attract top candidates, retain existing employees, and differentiate a company from its competitors.
