Tips for staying ahead of the competition

Remote work causes a disconnect

The Pandora’s box of remote work has long since been opened, and many employees never want to return to working in an office full-time. An overwhelming 98% of people who currently work remotely say they want that to be the case for the rest of their careers.

AI offers assistance

The use of artificial intelligence in recruiting has been on the rise for several years now, and the trend continues heading into 2025. Hiring managers’ top uses for AI include job candidate matching, screening, and engagement, as well as getting assistance with writing materials like job descriptions and outreach messages.

Retention, retention, and retention

The Great Resignation isn’t in the rearview mirror yet. There’s one goal that should be a top priority regardless of what happens with hiring: holding onto the workers you’ve already invested in. Prioritizing retention eliminates many of the struggles that come with vacancies, like attracting qualified candidates and the heavy resource drain of conducting interviews.

Reaching passive candidates is more important than ever

The fierce competition for the best workers will continue into 2025, so recruiters must spend more time reaching passive candidates. This is especially important for highly niche roles and positions that are in high demand, like developers and social media strategists. Recruiters should work to build a pipeline of passive candidates who are open to hearing about new opportunities.
