The Future of Recruitment

The recruitment sector is being turned upside down: it's unbelievable how hard it is to fill a vacancy. That's causing major changes in the medium term, all revolving around one thing: the candidate.

Labor market tightness is here to stay

Despite falling unemployment figures, the staff shortage is growing in many sectors, think of IT, engineering, hospitality, retail, construction and healthcare.

Digital-first recruitment becomes the norm

After the banking sector, it's now the recruitment world's turn. Frontrunner Nowjobs, launched by House of HR, is strongly embracing digitalization.

Candidate Experience is playing an increasingly important role

Candidates increasingly judge the application process on speed and simplicity.

Feedback is becoming increasingly important: even rejected candidates want to come away with a positive feeling.

Onboarding offers a new opportunity to create a good experience.

From intermediary to career coach

The role of the intermediary is shifting from simply finding a candidate to being a career coach.

The importance of (soft) skills can no longer be ignored

Diplomas and experience are increasingly less decisive. Soft skills like team fit are becoming more important.
