"In today's tight labor market, the candidate has more authority than ever before" said Kate Donovan, Senior Vice President of ManpowerGroup Solutions and Global RPO President. "Attracting the brightest and best people into your organization needs to combine a high tech and high touch approach. The two are not mutually exclusive. Candidates' application preferences and expectations for job searches are changing rapidly and businesses need to keep pace. Jobs are personal and relationships matter:  technology can simplify the application process but should not replace personalization and the human touch."

ManpowerGroup Solutions shares eight practical recommendations for employers including:

  • Be smart about the smartphone. Mobile applications may increase the amount of applications employers receive but organizations will achieve the right fit for the role through a personalized and candidate centric approach.
  • Look beyond traditional HR platforms and apps. It is easier to meet candidates where they already are rather than insisting they try something new.
  • Let a bot be a bot. The technology that an employer uses (or does not use) at every stage of the recruitment life cycle sends a powerful message about an organization and its values to candidates. Chatbots should be an extension of an employer brand and be open and transparent that they are bots. They should complement not replace human interaction.
