Changes In The Recruitment Market After The COVID-19 Pandemic – WalkWater Talent Advisors

Even though there’s been so much unemployment during and post the COVID-19 pandemic, with many businesses shutting down, and others crossing out multiple employees from their list, shortage of candidates still remains the norm. 

With the way we all struggled through the pandemic, we were wishing for a quick recovery and return to business, with the belief that the long-term future will be promising for recruitment. However, all these hopes went down the drain, when we still see companies facing a shortage of candidates. The shortage is mainly because experienced and skilled candidates remain difficult to find. So, what can be done about it? Let’s help you find out.

Offer candidates job security

With businesses struggling during the pandemic, and most of them trying to cope up even today, while with other businesses shutting down, leaving an entire workforce unemployed, it’s a time of huge uncertainty and very low confidence. In fact, the time is such that people who are working today feel themselves to be lucky to have a job at all. This belief makes them want to stick to their jobs, whether or not they want to, fearing that they’ll be left into the pool of uncertainty if they quit what they have at present. Even where the circumstances aren’t ideal, or when the compensation scenario isn’t too great, people are sticking with what they have. This gives recruiters a tough time in finding as well as attracting such fine candidates to join another company. It is a challenge for them to encourage such working candidates to consider a change of job. Job security is after all more important that ever today!

Provide the right learning and development

While we’ve heard so much about businesses shutting down, or removing a good number of employees from their job, another side of the story is where talented people have resigned from their job roles on their own. Despite knowing the facts about the financial breakdown across the world, thanks to the pandemic, such talented people began creating their own business. These numbers only increased with time, making such high-qualified personnel unavailable for recruitment, hence shifting the recruitment focus to junior candidates and fresh rookies. Now it’s not necessary that such fresh candidates may not be good. They’ll certainly not be as good as the high-profile candidates, but with the right learning and development, they’ll turn out no less than superstars in the future.

Focus on less experienced candidates who are apt for the job

With us saying that there is a shortage of candidates in the recruitment market, this is just half of the issue. At the same time, businesses are all focusing their recruitment efforts on the most experienced and skilled people. Thus, the demand for experienced candidates is surging, but the availability is very low. This is why we expect to see people focus on the available less experienced candidates, with a stronger programme of learning and development, to help them succeed. Having a structured way to onboard and quick-train new candidates will thus be instrumental in growth and success. To help you here, you can always partner with WalkWater TalentAdvisors, one of the best recruitment companies in India, who can help find the best candidates for your vacant job position, irrespective of the experience they have, only by thoroughly accessing and analyzing their qualities and skills.

Talent Acquisition – Doing It The Right Way - WalkWater Talent Advisors

The corporate world is significantly changing and evolving, which has also led to evolving practices of working.
