HR: Trends, Challenges and Frustrations
• Talent Acquisition is a global problem.
• Skills have become more specialized
making recruiting much more targeted.
• Everyone wants the top 10% of talent so
companies are more selective.
• Training and apprenticeship investment is
down leading to more experienced hiring.
• Let’s look at the “Short List” of thing TA
must now do…
TA Function is HR’s Greatest Stress
• Low
unemployment
rates in most
major
economies of
the world
• Tighter Markets
and More

Overall Trends
Candidate Experience:
How You Treat them is How…… • 58% of applicants who
didn’t get a response after
submitting an employment
application wouldn’t
consider, recommend, or
apply to that company in
the future.
• 62% of recruiters expect to
spend more on AI-based
software in 2018.
• Of those, the vast majority
(86%) plan to spend on AI-
based software for
sourcing.
Growth of Artificial Intelligence
• 78% in job market say the overall candidate
experience they receive is an indicator of how
a company values its people. (CareerBuilder)
• Failure to recognize when the employee
experience really begins. 75% of candidates
say candidate and onboarding experience
with a company is first part of their broader
employee experience with company.
(CareerBuilder)
• Too often the process is for the hiring
manager to interview the candidate and not
talk to them again until the start date.
Link Between Candidate Experience and Employee Engagement
People analytics are now established, giving HR the business data to address a wide range of
challenges:
“People Analytics” Are Emerging
• Conflicting trends are driving software and
function. Technology today must be BOTH “Local”
and “Global” to meet the needs of multi-nationals.
Changes in Technology
• 62% of today’s HR
leaders are relying on
separate HR systems
with either some
integration (44%) or no
integration (18%).
• Only 23% of those
surveyed leverage a
single, integrated suite.
