The theme was, "The Future of Recruitment in 2044"
Our most recent strategy meeting and probably one of the more fun strategic sessions we have had. Imagining our industry in 20 years was as interesting as it sounds.
Technology is changing rapidly in the recruitment sector, the pace of change at a level never before witnessed. Artificial intelligence within integrated web and applicant tracking systems that have video and enhance engagement systems with clients and candidates is already live at Automotive Employment, so too advanced analytics assisting us to identify trends and patterns of trading, engagement and performance.
The future shows the same systems will advance rapidly with machine learning providing seamless integration between all systems. AI in the future with machine learning will enable facial recognition, automated screening and matching social media integration. Virtual reality and Augmented reality are also thought to have a strong future in recruitment with holographic interviewing and facilities walkthroughs.
Much of the technology that will shape the future of recruitment is already here, there will of course be new technologies, and some may well be significant. Our team believe it will be the seamless integrations between multiple technologies: web, ATS, social media, VR, AR, AI, which will all be brought together that may create changes few have considered.
Logically the enhancement of every single function used today will develop fast. The conclusions of our voyage of discovery into the future of recruitment technology shows that technology in our sector may advance considerably faster than most. We are a big data industry, and the potential is enormous.
While on one hand technology will make a big impact to how we all find talent over the next 20 years, so too will personalised contact. As technology increases, so too will the human desire for personal contact. That desire to talk and interact with a human is already extenuated, imagine how much so in 20 years?
Looking into the future has shaped our strategy for 2025. There is much beyond the obvious required to stay at the forefront of our industry, those conclusions reached will roll out over the next year and beyond, forever sculpturing and honing how we do business.
We are ready as we could be for 2025 and it could well be one of the more exciting periods experienced in our sector for years.
As for 2044, planning 20 years ahead is a good start; beam us up Scotty, bring on teleportation for our client visits! Perhaps that technology may take a bit longer but holographic interviews similar to that pictured could easily be mainstream by 2044.
