Beyond AI and ChatGPT: The power of in-person recruitment

Beyond AI and ChatGPT: The power of in-person recruitment

Crystelle Reyes

In today’s talent landscape, it is easy to get caught up in the buzz around new technologies. From recruitment chatbots, to ChatGPT allegedly dissolving the case for cover letters overnight, it’s clear that recruitment as we know it will see significant changes in the years to come. While much attention has been given to the benefits of automation in recruitment, an important point is often overlooked. Specifically, that while AI can and will certainly play a valuable role in the hiring process, it can never replace the power of connection. Whether it’s the rapport built in a face-to-face meeting or the personal touch of a targeted print ad, some aspects of recruitment simply can’t be replicated.

Our talent experts possess a wealth of experience and knowledge in the ever-evolving world of recruitment. This allows them to seamlessly switch between, and continuously evolve, various talent acquisition strategies. Whether it is utilising the latest AI tools and technologies or executing face-to-face recruitment events, they apply their deep understanding of industries and clients’ needs to select the most effective recruitment methods for each role. Regardless of the latest trending topic, they deliver exceptional results.

Face-to-face with the tech prospects of the future

One of our expert teams recently partnered with hiring managers for a series of face-to-face events to recruit the best talent in University for our client. The unique value from face-to-face interactions was a critical element to successfully attracting candidates with these highly sought after skills.

“In my talent acquisition career, I have always valued connections above all else. It's what many recruiters find most rewarding about their job. I think AI is an opportunity that will bring back the personal, consultative approach to recruitment, and frees up time to do this. To connect and foster relationships that will help candidates grow in their careers, and clients execute their plans for growth with the talent they need.”

—Peter, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

These events were incredibly successful in positioning our client as an employer of choice for niche technology talent – even when the client’s industry was not your typical ‘pure’ technology company. By engaging with students and showcasing the exciting technology opportunities at our client’s organisation, our experts successfully engaged with technologists of the future. With genuine face-to-face interactions, our team was able to build a pipeline of tech talent and create a talent pool of candidates still completing their degrees.

Driving success: a roadside billboard campaign to recruit top truck drivers.

Our talent experts know that when it comes to recruitment, delivery is key. The long-term partnerships with our clients mean that our experts are fully embedded into their business, operations and culture. This gives them a unique and complex understanding of their target talent segment. Rather than exclusively leveraging traditional job boards or social media campaigns, this team decided to drive their point home in a big way; by also putting up a roadside billboard that would find truck drivers at the heart of their operations.

“The long-term partnership we have built with our client allows us to think outside of the box. When it comes to high-demand roles like this, we know what it takes to bring talent in. What we proposed hadn’t been done before. Our relationship with the business meant we were trusted to implement innovative ways of recruiting talent, while being credible and authentic ambassadors for the client’s brand. ”

—Pratima, Talent Acquisition Business Partner

Recruitment in the right places: job fair uncovers hidden talent

In a regional Victorian Council, our expert team attended a local job fair, where they were able to connect with a diverse pool of candidates. By being present in their community and engaging with candidates in person, our team was able to showcase the opportunities available and highlight the benefits of working for our client. For many roles, being able to connect and build trust personally, leads to a stronger talent pool than when relying on online channels and CV submissions alone.

Video in talent attraction strategies: 3 tips from our talent experts

Video in talent attraction strategies: 3 tips from our talent experts

Crystelle Reyes

In today’s job market, attracting top talent is more competitive than ever. To stand out from the crowd, companies and recruiters need find engaging ways to showcase their employer brand and company culture. Video content has been a key tool in talent attraction strategies for some time, but it can be expensive and time-consuming to create videos that stand out. Our team of talent experts share how they have harnessed the power of video to connect with top talent, and their advice for anyone looking at video as part of their talent attraction strategy.

The power of authenticity

Every employer wants to put their best foot forward, and videos for the purpose of talent attraction perform best when they paint an accurate picture of working at your company. A genuine portrayal of your company culture will resonate with the talent that is most likely to thrive within your teams.  Louise, Recruitment Lead EMEA, is the earliest adopter of video in our EMEA region. She has successfully used video to create content that provides candidates with unique employee perspectives of Hudson RPO as a workplace.

Louise Millar, Recruitment Lead for the EMEA region shares:

“Since we started using videos as a tool to attract more talent to our business, we have seen a real increase in interest in our job openings. What makes video so successful in a recruitment strategy is that it gives insight into a workplace before interview. It adds an element of familiarity, which greatly helps in setting us apart from other employers and improves the candidate experience at the same time. It can be scary to jump in front of a camera and put yourself out there, but it gets easier the more often you do it.”

Louise Millar, Recruitment Lead for the EMEA region shares:

Engage through creativity

In today’s digital landscape, holding someone’s attention for an extended period is a challenge. A lengthy video featuring employees sitting in a conference room is unlikely to capture your target audience’s interest. In addition to being authentic, videos in talent attraction strategies should be dynamic and engaging. Creativity can play a vital role in crafting a compelling video strategy that aligns with your company’s brand guidelines. This looks different for every organization, and whatever approach you take, the video should feel organic. Daniel has become an expert in using creativity in videos for talent attraction, like on Christmas Jumper Day in our EMEA office, as well as for job advertisements on LinkedIn.
Daniel Gilliland, Internal Recruiter

“There are many candidates out there that might not even realise they are interested in joining your company yet. Why would they read a long job description listing what it is they need to bring to a role? Showing them what’s on offer to them instead has proven an effective way to draw in talent at whatever stage of their job hunt they are. It’s so much easier to highlight what’s important in a 30-60 second video than in a list of bullet points,” says Daniel Gilliland, Internal Recruiter. “My tip would be to add variation to the videos you create. Christmas Jumper Day, role descriptions, or employees sharing their journey with the company, it casts your net wider.”

Amplify your message

Publishing a video to your careers page or YouTube channel is unlikely to engage talent who remain unfamiliar with your employer brand. To reach as many potential candidates as possible, distribute the video on a variety of channels, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. On social media, you can increase your visibility and even target specific demographics and interests. Strategic promotion of your videos maximizes your videos impact. Molly Champagne, Internal Careers Senior Recruiter for the Americas region, has seen the impact of video on social media first-hand:

“Creating and posting these videos has helped me reach talent that I otherwise wouldn’t have connected with through job advertisements or traditional job postings. There is a lot of potential in video for recruitment strategies. I have used it to highlight the unique perspectives of my colleagues on Hudson RPO as a workplace but also to share recognition for my colleagues' achievements. Everyone has their own story to tell, and candidates might be looking for different things in an employer too. The more videos, the better we are able to share how we can match what they are looking for in their career. I would recommend not giving employees a script and asking them a question. Their authentic response is always best!”

Employer brand talent videos are a powerful tool for attracting top talent to your organization. By creating authentic and dynamic videos that showcase your company culture, you can engage potential candidates and set yourself apart from competitors. Being at the forefront of the recruitment industry, our talent experts know how to successfully implement video as part of your strategy.

6 ways an RPO provider can transform your recruitment function

6 ways an RPO provider can transform your recruitment function

Crystelle Reyes

RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) is a unique talent acquisition model and is different than using a recruitment agency. Instead of focusing on hiring alone, organisations who engage an RPO partner, outsource the management of the recruitment function. This can be done in part or wholly, and drives recruitment cost savings, efficiency, quality of hire, and more. Partnering with a trusted RPO expert can help your business unlock a world of opportunities and transform the way you attract, recruit, and retain talent. In our experience, these are six unique benefits of Recruitment Process Outsourcing.

1. Industry expertise

RPO providers are talent experts with extensive knowledge across the recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing through to recruitment technology. By partnering with an RPO provider, you gain access to their industry experience, allowing you to stay competitive and attract top talent. Unlike recruitment agencies, high quality RPO partners will provide dedicated on-site teams that seamlessly integrate into your existing business. This collaborative, partnership-first approach, ensures a customised and efficient recruitment process that has been designed with your unique objectives in mind.

2. Recruitment process design & technology

Recruitment process design is an essential element of an RPO provider’s services. By designing a recruitment process that is consistent, tailored, and compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, RPO providers will ensure that your organisation attracts the best possible candidates wherever they are. With customisation front of mind, a good RPO provider will also take into consideration your strategic priorities such as DE&I, employer brand and talent pooling – to name a few. R To support the efficiency and sustainability of the strategically designed process, RPO providers invest heavily in recruitment technology. From applicant tracking systems (ATS) to recruitment marketing platforms (RMP), RPO providers can select, implement, and improve the right technology for your goals.

3. Scalability

When a business downturn hits and recruiting needs suddenly drop, so does a company’s need for in-house recruiters. Likewise, when the business expands into another product category or region, recruiting needs may suddenly spike. In both cases, the flexibility and scalability an RPO provider provides will prove beneficial. RPO partners accept the responsibility of efficiently adjusting resource levels when hiring fluctuations happen. As a result, you don’t have to bear the burden of unnecessary staff. Similarly, you face a lesser chance of being short-staffed when greater resources are required.

“Leveraging data-driven insights and analytics, we ensure that our client’s recruitment process is efficient and drives results. With years of experience across different industries and regions, we know what works and what doesn’t. Our clients trust us to provide exceptional results.”

4. Brand enhancement

Your employer brand is a critical aspect of attracting and retaining top talent. RPO providers understand this and can help enhance your brand by providing a positive candidate experience. Unlike impersonal agency recruitment processes, RPO providers offer personalised recruitment processes that align with your values and culture. This helps attract candidates that are a good fit for your company. Additionally, RPO providers have the recruitment experience necessary to take care of candidate experience, ensuring that every candidate has a high-touch, positive interaction with your organisation.

5. Quantity without losing quality

When positions are critical, it’s instinctive to focus on rapidly filling positions, while sacrificing quality. RPO providers prioritise finding the best candidates that fit well with your organisation, while also reducing the time to hire. Using data-driven insights and analytics, RPO providers identify and attract top talent, and employ rigorous screening processes to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are presented to you. RPO providers also embed with your organisation on-site, integrating themselves into your team and business to get a true understanding of how candidates would align with your teams on the ground. This personalised approach ensures that every candidate presented is of the highest quality and the best fit for your organisation.

6. Long-term partnership

When you work with an RPO provider, you are building a long-term and collaborative partnership. RPO providers are invested in your success and committed to helping you achieve your goals and achieve exceptional outcomes.  Working closely with an RPO partner over the years means that there is a true understanding of your needs and challenges. Additionally, an high quality RPO will evolve as your business does, and provide ongoing support and guidance to stay ahead of the competition.

Partnering with an RPO provider offers many unique benefits and a chance to elevate your success. You will access specialised expertise in your industry and business, save costs, improve time-to-hire and candidate experience, while enjoying flexibility and a true partnership.

Priya’s Pioneering Journey: Navigating a Global Relocation and Breaking into a New Industry

Priya’s Pioneering Journey: Navigating a Global Relocation and Breaking into a New Industry

Crystelle Reyes

Meet Priya, a driven and determined individual who took a bold step to pursue her dreams by relocating from India to the UK. Although Priya’s technical background was in engineering, she had always felt a strong pull towards the human resources field. The drive came from an innate passion for people and their unique talents.

Determined to turn her passion into a career path, she made the leap and embraced a new challenge: switching from engineering to HR. Through hard work and determination, Priya has blazed a new trail both in her professional and personal life. The leap also involved Priya becoming the first member of her family to receive a master’s degree and move overseas.

Her positive attitude and unwavering determination demonstrate a shining example to everyone in our business and translate directly to the high quality of work for our clients every day. In this feature, we delve into Priya’s inspiring journey and find out what drives her to keep pushing the boundaries and achieving her goals.

“Making the decision to move across the world, switch careers, and embark on a new industry was not without its challenges. I was filled with nerves and uncertainty, starting in a new place. Some people didn’t understand why I would leave a successful engineering career, but I knew there was something missing. I am proud to say that all worked out for the best. I am now in a place where I do what I love, surrounded by new opportunities for growth and learning every day.”

Priya’s journey in the corporate world began as an Electronics and Communications engineer for a large, global software company on their biggest site in Bangalore. From the get-go, she was fascinated by the company’s commitment to their employees and how it positively impacted their workplace experience. While continuing work as an engineer, her interest in connecting people, ensuring top-class experiences and learning about the unique skills and motivations of talent grew. Eventually, this led her to enquire with the HR department, where she expressed her interest in learning more about the potential opportunities for someone from a different background. Her expression of interest was met with an opportunity to begin a new career path in recruitment and HR, which saw Priya travel all over India as a campus recruiter. Priya’s drive and curiosity quickly led her to becoming a key part of the recruitment team.

“My greatest joy was seeing my candidates succeed and knowing that I played a role in their journey. More than once, the feedback I provided was a stepping stone for their success, and it was an amazing experience to see them thrive. It solidified that I wanted to be in the business of people and talent more than anything else.”

From there, things evolved quickly as Priya embarked on her journey to becoming a recruitment and HR professional. With her technical background in electronics and communications engineering, she was drawn to the field of technical recruitment. Driven by her ambition, she set her sights on a course in the United Kingdom that would help her achieve her goals. Priya was determined to study abroad, as she wanted to broaden her horizons and experience new opportunities that would help her grow both personally and professionally.

“There was a large focus on our career ambitions while I was studying. We talked about agency recruitment and in-house recruitment, but it wasn’t until I spoke to a recruiter from Hudson RPO that I discovered RPO recruitment. It’s perfect for me, I have all the benefits and can foster the relationships like I would being in-house, but at the same time I am able to build experience across different clients and industries. It’s the best of both worlds.”

As a technical recruiter at Hudson RPO, Priya plays a crucial role in the recruitment process, covering all aspects from sourcing and screening to competency-based interviews and reference checking. With her background as an engineer, Priya is well-equipped to assess the technical abilities of candidates, particularly in areas such as Python and Java. Currently, she focuses her learning on recruiting skills to further her career. When it comes to learning, Priya takes regular trips from Manchester to our Centre of Excellence in Edinburgh where she meets with colleagues assigned to other client accounts. The set-up in the Centre of Excellence in combination with Social Talent (our unlimited online learning platform), Priya can tailor her learning to her ambitions (and she has, having collected 148K learning points already.

“I want to start by learning the different stages of recruitment and be hands-on in the process, using my energy and enthusiasm to get involved in various tasks. Once I’ve gained expertise, my goal is to guide recruiters to source and deliver the best results for our clients. My ultimate goal however, is providing a positive experience for both clients and candidates, helping them grow their careers and driving diversity, equity and inclusion. That’s what motivates me and that’s what I find most rewarding about this industry.”

Priya’s story is a real testament to her determination and drive, as she continues to make an impact for others both in and outside of Hudson RPO.

Navigating the UK Talent Market: Opportunities and Optimism

Navigating the UK Talent Market: Opportunities and Optimism

Crystelle Reyes

Two months into 2023, the UK talent market continues to evolve in the wake of post-pandemic effects, labour strikes, and the ongoing cost of living crisis. Many workers in the UK are feeling the impact of an uncertain outlook, including imminent layoffs for some industries. Tech employees in particular, as a recent survey of 2000 UK-based tech workers found,  are pre-emptively applying for new jobs over fears of redundancies (53% of the 2000 respondents).

Despite pessimistic narratives across social media and the news cycle, not all is doom and gloom –  even for the tech industry. At Hudson RPO, we have seen 51% of respondents in our end-of-year polls place ‘ongoing growth and expansion’ at the top of their business agenda for 2023. Rajan, Solutions Director EMEA, shares why he believes there is room for optimism.

“I think what we are hearing a lot about at the moment is the result of big tech going too hard too fast at the start of the pandemic. Many considered the sudden increase a permanent acceleration and hired as such, whereas others in the tech-startup environment had not anticipated the macroeconomic environment, making it more difficult to rely on venture capital funding. What is often overlooked in the ongoing conversation about economic outlooks for 2023 is two-fold. Firstly, there is still a massive demand for tech talent across a variety of industries. 79% of tech talent impacted by layoffs, is rehired within three months. Secondly, many industries are thriving; January saw a 24.5% rise in job adverts, compared to the same week the year before.”

According to Rajan and his team, the Energy & Renewables, Medical Device, and the Engineering sectors are amongst the industries to watch in 2023:

Rajan, Solutions Director EMEA

“What we are seeing in tech may have been a result of hiring for services that are no longer required in a post-pandemic world. But the following industries have remained constant, even when the challenges presented to them in the last three years required them to accelerate or change their operations dramatically.”

As the world continues to grapple with the effects of climate change, ‘green’ jobs are set to become an increasingly important feature in the UK job market. The market size of the Renewable Electricity Generation industry is expected to increase 13.4% this year alone. According to the PwC Green Jobs Barometer, the green economy will outpace the rest of the UK job market in the coming years, with a government target of 2 million jobs in the sector by 2030. This is further supported by the LinkedIn Report: 2023 Jobs on the Rise UK, where Sustainability Managers take 2nd place in the list of the ’25 fastest growing job titles’.

The Medical Device & Technology sector is poised for growth in the UK, as the demand for innovative medical technologies continues to rise. According to a report by Statista, the UK’s Medical Technology industry’s projected market volume for 2023 is £13.95bn. The industry is driven by the growing need for healthcare solutions that improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Regulatory changes such as the introduction of the EU Medical Device Regulation in 2021, and the UK Government’s Life Sciences Vision policy, will fuel demand for innovative technologies and represent a clear drive for the UK to become a global leader in AI and Data driven life science.

According to the latest survey from The Engineer, UK engineers are feeling optimistic about the year ahead. The survey showed that many businesses in the engineering and manufacturing industries are planning to invest in modern technologies focusing on sustainability and innovation. Even though the industry may face key challenges, such as skill shortages and ongoing global supply chain disruptions, there is a sense of confidence and resilience. According to the LinkedIn 2023 Jobs on the rise report, we will see an influx in demand for Sustainability Managers, Machine Learning Engineers, and Security Analysts in the manufacturing and engineering industries.

“2023 will be an interesting year. Some industries will face challenges, others will rely on the opportunities that lie ahead. In any case, companies are facing this in a transformative talent landscape. I believe we will see organisations across a variety of industries fill talent gaps through retention and reskilling efforts, while we navigate what technologies like ChatGPT mean for automation and skill requirements.

It can feel instinctive to reduce spend and keep things in-house in times of uncertainty, but the right RPO partner will be able to anticipate and respond to changing talent requirements. They will also be able to scale up and down as your needs change, without the need for redundancies.” Rajan explains.
