• Development

• Growth

• Culture fit over skill

Trend 4: Analytics for Everyone

Company leaders speak the language of analytics. When considering the importance of analytics for everyone, the following actions are advised:

• Do not use analytics only to perform back analysis, but also use numbers to forecast.

• Use numbers when discussing and planning the recruiting strategy with company leaders.

Trend 5: Smart Mobile

Ensure that your company follows current mobile trends, such as the following:

• Apps – your company app that can be connected to the career site

• Responsive – pages are properly displayed on different devices

• On the go – be able to access information anywhere

• Sourcing– use different candidate sources, for example, career site, Twitter, and so on.
