Hiring in the Digital Age: 2 Things to Focus on in 2020 and Beyond

The hiring process is a lot different today than it was just a few years ago because of technological advancements that have changed the way companies go about recruiting new employees. In 2020, hiring managers will focus more on selecting talented candidates because the hiring process will be a lot more strategic.

In order for a company to succeed in today’s world, it must adapt to the technology and modern advances being offered; otherwise, they may not survive. If you’d like to recruit smartly, you must focus on the following in 2020:

  1. Targeted recruiting ads. Personal devices know a lot about their user based on interests and locations being searched. This is why you will see an advertisement for a specific product on your social media apps after having recently searched for something similar on your device. This is beneficial for recruiters because it allows them to reach more potential candidates suitable for a specific position rather than advertising it to random people. Making use of the right keywords, job descriptions and information on your ad will increase your ability to target those searching for jobs within your industry. Placing your ads in front of those you are genuinely interested in is a great way of finding someone who has the right skills, knowledge, and experience necessary for the position you’re trying to fill. It’s also beneficial for those searching for jobs because they’ll see postings and career opportunities that are relevant to them.
  2. Search engine optimization. Invest time improving your SEO; otherwise, your company will fall behind. Making sure your website is mobile-friendly is very important because many people apply for jobs directly from their phones and if your company website cannot be viewed on a device, you may have a harder time finding someone because they will likely apply elsewhere. Utilizing social media is also important because you can capitalize on the tools they offer businesses to provide them with a better platform that is more visible.
