Becoming ‘Hire-able’

While Covid-19 hit the world; many people thought businesses would be impacted severally but to everyone’s surprise, the market responded with agility to enable the launch of disruptive startups. 

Adoption of digital technology at scale, remote working, mindset shift, focus on health benefits and virtual learning took the front stage. Most organisations were able to handle their work virtually & many saw new peaks!

In these changing times, the talent that organizations seek also changed face. As organizational demands became different, the shift in the kind of skills in demand also transformed. 

With professionals now having to decode the following norms:

–       Reskill to Reinvent: 
Understanding the need of the hour in their field of work & upskilling to learn next-gen technologies

–       Being Agile: 
Change is the only constant! This proverb has proven itself in these Covid times. Being adaptable to understand the dynamicity of the market is the only way forward. 

–       Sensing Science:
Automation to AI, analytics to robust consumer behavior, science is taking up even more space. As a professional, one should be ready to sense the intervention of science in their area of work and allow it to freely move into their domain. Embracing this change could possibly make you a catalyst of transformation

‘Change is Inevitable”

Post the pandemic hit the world, we could see a paradigm shift in the job market as well, from being a client-driven space to becoming a candidate-driven market. The world of work is now demanding recruiters and HR teams to adopt a new stance in sourcing professionals.The upheaval of Covid-19 pandemic has led businesses to face multiple challenges like high demand of candidates for new profiles, attrition of the existing talent base, refreshed expectations of the market and most importantly adapting to the ultra-digital age.

Striking a balance between recruiting the best and fulfilling the growing demands of professionals can be a tricky task. It can become a vicious circle of demand, need and supply. Where the upswing in talent demand by the businesses increases the demands that the professional might have, eventually amassing their negotiating power and impacting talent supply.

Hence, what is important is to understand the business need, identify the job details and quickly onboard the staff; to maintain desirable levels of staff retention for smooth running of the business.

Here are a few striking sets of statistics from a survey by KPMG and REC:

–       Permanent placements are at an all-time high

–       The upturn in temporary billings is the fastest it has been in 6 years

–       May 2021 was the best month for job postings since before the financial crash of 2008

–       The demand for workers has increased at the fastest rate for over 23 years
