The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that there are still nearly 10 million job openings in the United States! How can this be the case if there is roughly the same number of unemployment in America?
The answer is that the skills that many of the available jobs require may not be found in the unemployment population immediately surrounding those businesses. That's why many in the Internet age turn to international recruiting and remote workers.
International recruiting gives a company access to a near-infinite talent pool. Learn more about this trend in the article below.
HR automation is changing. AI chatbots and sophisticated language models are helping to make recruiting smoother.
A company can train its AI to look for certain traits in candidates' applications and rank applications. Chat GPT can even conduct introductory interviews and basic training.
Having such an AI means you don't need to worry about time zones when taking applications or conducting first-round interviews. Your business is always set up to catch talent from anywhere worldwide, maximizing your access to the global talent pool.
Most companies use social media to screen candidates as they apply. However, there is also a way to use social media to attract global talent.
Google is famous for pitting itself as a desirable place to work. Using Instagram, TikTok, or any other app, your company can create a public image as a similarly attractive employer.
HR managers following this approach must think more like marketing managers advertising an excellent working experience. Several studies on LinkedIn show that this approach is proving successful.
Younger Millennials and Gen Z employees place much emphasis on mental health. This chiefly manifests as a need for a stable and sustainable work-life balance. There have been recent indications that this balance even boosts productivity.
That's why giving employees the option to work remotely (partially or fully) is wise. Employees benefit directly from flexibility.
The company benefits because those employees can be anywhere on Earth. You're no longer stuck with the small talent pool in your locality. Your business will no longer be held back if your country doesn't have the best education system.
