In 2017, the old ways of recruiting are either over or at least severely disrupted for which you can largely thank technology.
No longer are candidates making a case for employment via paper CVs instead, they are creating compelling brands for themselves on the likes of social media and blogs, helping to make todays hiring a very much digital-centric practice.
Amid talk over the past year of an increasingly candidate-driven job market, it has never been more important for Recruitment Agencies In Ireland and the employers that use them - to be proactive and strategic in their use of technology.
So, what are the steps that your company needs to take over the coming year to keep up with the ever-evolving HR technology landscape?

Its why our own highly rated hiring software package here at Webrecruit, Fusion, enables candidates on mobile devices to easily discover, find out about and apply for the vacancies of companies like yours. Dont miss out on this continually-expanding proportion of the candidate pool!
Promote Vacancies Via Social Media
According to one report, not only are best-in-class companies 45% more likely to share content and job postings across social media platforms, but they are also 37% less likely to have trouble sourcing qualified candidates.
These two statistics are not completely unrelated. However, the effective promotion of vacancies on social media is no longer just about organic posting, as paid advertising has also come into its own in recent times.
Social networks combination of highly in-depth stored user data and advanced targeting tools makes them difficult for any technologically literate Recruitment Companies In Ireland to ignore and they are certainly central to our work here at Webrecruit Ireland.
