How Can Technology Impact Talent Acquisition - WalkWater Talent Advisors

How often do you now write? Whether it is a letter, a notice, an application, or anything else, it’s all gone digital now. How often do you walk? Whether it is to make a purchase, whether it is to meet a person, whether it is to order something, or anything else, you’d either prefer the phone or any other digital way to connect. 

Similarly, in all phases of life, things have changed and gone all so digital; thanks to the significant advance in technology, which helps us to speak to someone, send a message across, order something online, visit a store, everything all in one small device – our smartphone. Workplaces are also not the same anymore. Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, Work From Home is the new normal, which is again effective because of the technology that helps us to connect.

When technology has affected almost every aspect of business and life, why not talent acquisition? Talent acquisition is one of the biggest concerns for every organization; and technology can highly impact it in ways more than one.

Big data

Big data provides a bigger data influx and helps with predictions, analysis, and patterns that can make talent acquisition easier by giving recruiters a clearer picture of the candidates. With big data, recruiters can cater to the needs of the employees by closely monitoring them and calculating their future success using existing analytical data. Bigger the data, lesser the chances of error for acquiring new talent. That’s because such data can be used to make informed hiring decisions and lay down error-free strategies.

Mobile apps

There are a variety of mobile apps being made every day. One being made for talent acquisition can be very useful. An official mobile application for an organization can make things very easy; and many organizations are in fact taking advantage of this technological advancement too, which is helping them save a lot of money, time, and effort.

Social recruiting

Social recruiting has redefined the ways of talent acquisition, and has been widely used by recruiters worldwide to attract the right talent to their organization. Social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram are now used to search for potential candidates, find a good match to fill the skill gap, establish a connection, and inspire them to apply for the open positions in an organization. Such social media platforms bring to the forefront a broader and deeper sea of candidates. There are lots of choices and options to choose from, a significantly bigger talent pool than what you would see at a job site or elsewhere. All kinds of active and passive kind of candidates can be viewed here, as there are not only unemployed people, but also those who are already working elsewhere, but are looking for a job change.

Direct sourcing

Direct sourcing platforms help look past job boards and other media ads, giving a lot of data about talent pool that are pre-screened. These platforms also provide quality referral as an added advantage. Also, being integrated with databases of local talent communities, different minority associations, and diversity job boards, direct sourcing platforms also provide diverse candidate outreach for referral campaigns.

Cloud

Cloud is a major chunk of data storage, offering everything from space to security. Storing data has always been a major concern for organizations. With cloud, all of this has been made easy through easy accessibility, security, cost-effectiveness by stashing data on hardware in a remote physical location that can be accessed from any device via the internet. In this way, data is protected from physical calamities, thus ensuring high assurance.

Having the right people is crucial to the success of an organization, which is why talent management strategies are important. And for this, you need professionals like leading talent acquisition companies in India to take care of it, one like WalkWater Talent Advisors, India’s fastest growing leadership search and talent advisory firm.
