As a business grows, the leadership is sure to devote time and energy to creating a modern hiring plan and developing a scalable recruiting process to facilitate recruiting at scale when the time comes. For a successful 2025 – 2026 modern hiring plan, it is essential to understand the current recruitment trends to ensure you are well prepared to compete with other businesses and industries vying for the best new hires.
Harnessing The Power of Automation and Technology in Evaluations
Most clients are reporting to Potere Search that they are inundated with resumes and interest when a new job posting is listed. While this might sound like a significant problem, it often results in busy work as the HR team is forced to sift through a desert of sand to find the hidden treasure of one or two solid candidates.
At Potere Search, we have engineered and perfected a 10-point system that enables our recruiting experts to assign points based on the critical criteria shared by a candidate and a job opening. This evaluation process, which considers critical factors specific to the role, company, and candidate’s needs, allows us to swiftly evaluate and provide our clients with the perfect 10-point match through our proprietary Dual Match System.
Branding And Company Culture
With the vast array of new opportunities offered in the workplace, people are becoming more selective and demanding about what they want and expect from a company. For example, many candidates are specifically inquiring about the benefits offered by the hiring company. Recent studies have found that workplace stress is viewed as significant for many employees. They are now demanding recognition of this stress and other mental health concerns that can become challenging and require professional care. Employee assistance plans that include mental health-focused benefits are critical to many candidates. Even if they never need these perks, they feel it demonstrates the employer’s concern and dedication toward the employees.
The team at Potere Search has spent years working to understand the needs and desires of the best candidates available to our clients. We have invested our time in listening to their evaluations of past employers and understanding what they expect from a new employer to earn their respect and loyalty. Our team can help you create the culture and brand that will speak to the top-tier candidates you want.
Personal And Professional
In an era where you could find yourself conversing with a chatbot as easily as an HR staff member, companies should never underestimate the power of an actual person and the added value they bring to recruiting. When you work with Potere Search, we provide our clients with the perfect blend of technology and caring, personable staff members to deliver the best candidates to fill your positions.
Recent recruitment data shows that 78% of HR professionals report an increase in new hire quality thanks to data-driven selection methods. However, there is still an aspect of evaluation that is only possible when two human beings are conversing. And it is essential to note that the evaluation process is happening on both sides of the table. The candidate learns more about the level of interest from their potential employer when they speak with someone who engages them with meaningful and thought-provoking questions, rather than a laundry list of yes and no boxes to tick. Likewise, the recruiting professional will gain valuable insight into how the candidate will interact with co-workers, management, and customers as they candidly discuss their skills, plans, and needs from a new employer.
