Budget 2025 – Workforce and Staffing Impact Brief

2024 recruitment trends: what's in store for the year ahead
&nbsp;
New year, new job scene. Or at least the saying goes, right? It seems that at the start of a every year there&rsquo;s always a shift in what&rsquo;s hot &ndash; and what&rsquo;s not, and 2024 is certainly no different. Sit back whilst we spill the tea on the latest trends to shake up our hiring habits.
&nbsp;
1. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The tech takeover continues
It&rsquo;s no surprise that technology like AI and machine learning is switching up the hiring process. Phrases that we definitely didn&rsquo;t expect to see on our 2024 bingo card just two years ago, are now stealing the spotlight, revolutionising tasks such as candidate matching, CV screening, and initial interviewing. It&rsquo;s through these innovations that we&rsquo;re seeing a real upgrade across the recruitment process, with improvements to productivity, reductions in bias, and the opportunity for recruiters to focus on what really matters to them and their business, such as relationship building and talent management. Ready or not, tech is the future - don&rsquo;t be afraid to incorporate it into your 2024 game plan.
&nbsp;
2. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Don&rsquo;t shy away from the diversity dance
Equity, diversity, and inclusion &ndash; once buzzwords in the boardroom are now the real deal in successful organisations. When it comes to hiring, it's time for companies to make a big deal about their equality practices, implementing inclusive interviewing practices and diverse placements. But this shift isn&rsquo;t just about meeting societal expectations &ndash; it&rsquo;s a strategic effort to spark innovation and create a workplace that is vibrant and strong.
&nbsp;
3. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The remote revolution: it&rsquo;s here to stay
Believe it or not the office is no longer a ball and chain. And, whilst the remote work debate is still going strong, the practice itself looks set to stay, at least for now; according to ONS, a whopping 44% of workers reported home or hybrid working in 2023. Sure, these figures have changed slightly over the past couple of years &ndash; in the UK there has been a sharp decline in fully remote work since 2021, when most employees returned to the office in some capacity. But one thing&rsquo;s crystal clear: for those roles that can make it work, there&rsquo;s a growing expectation that there ought to be some WHF flexibility. The way we work is definitely changing, with companies figuring out that happy employees are generally productive ones. Which often means allowing them to choose their ideal workspace.
&nbsp;
4. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Skills over degrees
It appears there&rsquo;s a noticeable change in the air regarding employers&rsquo; approach to hiring, with more and more waking up to the fact that the dynamic and diverse workplaces of today demand more than just technical know-how and academic accolades. Of course, they're important, but there's a bigger, more nuanced picture. It's about honing in on the intangibles &ndash; those down-to-earth skills that make a workplace click. Think effective communication, adaptability, and problem-solving; these are the traits that offer impact and value to a team. The shift isn't about tossing that pile of CVs aside (apologies to all the admin avoiders); it's about looking past the paper trail and focusing on the skills that truly spell success. Yep, we&rsquo;re officially in our &lsquo;soft skills&rsquo; era, where a candidate's ability to navigate the human side of work is just as crucial as their paper credentials.
&nbsp;
5. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Levelling up the candidate experience
This year, it&rsquo;s predicted that the candidate experience will become a key differentiator for employers, with today&rsquo;s job seekers expecting a seamless, personalised, and candidate-centric recruitment process. They&rsquo;re looking for employers who get what makes them tick, &nbsp;understands their &nbsp;values and career goals, and guides them through the job-hunting journey with the right info at the right time. Because let&rsquo;s face it, nobody needs a headache when job-hunting. The key is making the candidate feel like a VIP; organisations that pull this off will build a rep as a workplace that everyone wants to be part of.
&nbsp;
So, there you have it &ndash; the lowdown on what's shaking in the UK's job market this year. In a landscape driven by technology, diversity, and changing work dynamic, it&rsquo;s imperative that companies stay ahead of the curve and adapt to the evolving industry. By doing so, they&rsquo;ll undoubtedly set their organisations up for success in 2024.
&nbsp;

2024 recruitment trends: what's in store for the year ahead

Learning the skills needed to land a new job is often just as crucial as learning how to excel in your potential career. Whether it&rsquo;s mastering the art of networking, acing job applications, or crafting a killer CV, there&rsquo;s always something candidates can be doing to make sure they&rsquo;re completely prepared. But, perhaps almost everyone&rsquo;s achilles heel in pursuit of the perfect role is nailing the most nerve-wracking aspect of the job hunt itself: the dreaded interview.
&nbsp;
Navigating interviews, especially in a new field, can be tough and practice and preparation are crucial steps you can take to make sure you ace that interview. But what if you don&rsquo;t have anyone with whom you can practice common interview questions? Let us introduce to you, Google&rsquo;s Interview Warm-up. The tech giant has teamed up with job seekers to create a this nifty little tool, designed to help you practice responding to questions handpicked by industry pros.
&nbsp;
But how does it actually work?
Using clever machine learning, it transcribes your answers and provides insights on how to level up your responses. We know prepping for interviews always requires effort, but Google&rsquo;s aim is to make it a tad easier so candidates feel more self-assured and at ease while acing their interviews.
&nbsp;
With Interview Warmup, your answers are instantly written down so you can check what you said. As an added bonus, you get insights &ndash; tips from smart tech that can help you uncover details about your answers, like the job-related words you use regularly and your main talking points such as your experience, skills, and goals. And although it was designed with Google Career Certificates students in mind, it's open to everyone and includes general questions suitable for various fields. It even shows how much time you spend discussing each topic in your response. And the best part? Your answers aren't graded or judged, and you can practice as many times as you like. It's like your own private practice arena!
&nbsp;
Why not give Interview Warm-Up a shot? It could be just the ticket to levelling up your interview prep.
