Predictors of Quality Hires and Hiring Expectations

TA leaders love internal referrals and previous tenure within the organization. They feel they are the best sources of predicting the quality of hire.

As for future hiring plans, the majority of respondents expect hiring to increase during the third and fourth quarters.

Pay transparency is gaining momentum as a part of talent acquisition. While opinions varied on the scale, half of our respondents affirmed it has made an impact on their work. In most cases, it leads to positive discussions around fair compensation practices.

TA Optimization and Skill Shortages

TA leaders acknowledged the need for continuous improvement in talent acquisition processes. Optimizing recruitment strategies, screening processes, enhancing acquisition skills, addressing skill shortages, and refining onboarding experiences emerged as crucial areas for improvement.

The insights gathered from our survey provide a valuable glimpse into the future of talent acquisition. As organizations strive to attract and retain the best talent, it is essential to stay informed about emerging trends and challenges.
