Recruiting trends 2023: How the labour market is changing

The year 2023 will bring some changes in the field of recruitment. This is according to a forecast by t3n, a magazine for the digital economy. Here are the most important recruiting trends that companies should be aware of.

Recruiting trend: Candidates are becoming more selective

More and more candidates are setting their own conditions and standards when it comes to finding a job. This means that companies have to work harder to find the right employees. "Candidates' expectations of the application process are rising," says Ilka Szentkiralyi, Managing Director of indivHR. "It's important to engage with candidates and offer them a positive experience."

Social media as a recruiting channel

In the past, social media was mainly used for marketing purposes. In the future, they will also serve as important recruiting channels. "Social media is a very powerful tool for drawing attention to jobs and reaching potential candidates," says Szentkiralyi. "Young people in particular are targeted by social media campaigns."

Artificial intelligence supports the recruiting process

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to support the recruitment process. Companies rely on AI-supported tools to analyse applications and find suitable candidates. "AI can be a very good addition to speed up and simplify the selection process," says Szentkiralyi. "However, it is important to retain the human element and to view AI as a support and not a replacement."

Diversity and inclusion are becoming more important

More and more companies are prioritising diversity and inclusion in the working environment. "Companies that are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce have a competitive advantage," says Szentkiralyi. "It is important that companies actively endeavour to have a diverse workforce and ensure that all employees have the same opportunities."

The year 2023 will bring some changes in the field of recruitment. Companies will have to adapt to more selective candidates and focus on social media as a recruiting channel. Artificial intelligence will support the recruiting process, but the human component should not be neglected. After all, promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace is becoming increasingly important. "Companies that recognise and implement these trends early on will be able to compete successfully on the market in the long term," says Szentkiralyi.
