Chatbot support: guides prospects, responses FAQs, and schedules interviews effortlessly.
In 2023, we experienced the growth of the requirement to headhunt skills instead of fill the roles of actively using individuals. At the exact same time, the increased flow of using prospects appeared like a positive change, but really, it did more work in terms of the requirement to respond to everybody, examine each profile’s suitability to the role and send more rejection emails.
The efficiency boost that the AI and automation tools provided enabled us to make the procedure much faster and more constant. We achieved an improvement in the Time to Hire metric and the drop in Voluntary Turnover, and, at the exact same time – a boost in employee NPS.

The nature of work and the towards the office and company have actually considerably moved in the past years. There is likewise a generational change in the workforce – Gen Z is entering the workforce as a part of the Boomer generation is retiring.

No company wants to lose out on working with the very best talent.
To turn into one of the very best, transparency is expected throughout all stages of the skill strategy. This suggests leveraging the right technology and tools to support human competencies and building a strong employer brand name based upon them.
Diversity (DEI), versatility, transparency and the increase of relatable organisations are the keywords in focus for employer brand names in 2024.
We’ve seen a lot of change throughout 2023.
– Firstly, the demand for the office on a versatile basis has made a resurgence. While completely remote and remote-first chances remain dominant amongst jobseekers, hybrid functions are ending up being increasingly popular.
Our Q3 Flexible Working Index (a report which tracks evolving trends throughout the versatile jobs market) revealed a sharp shift away from remote work amongst companies – fully remote functions accounted for simply 4% of task posts between July and September, usually.
Meanwhile, jobseekers’ demand for remote work remains strong, but our data reveals that the more versatility companies offer staff around working places, the more popular they are among candidates.
– Secondly, the traditional work week has considerably progressed over the previous year.
The traditional Mon-Fri is taking a backseat. A growing number of companies are introducing an alternative method, that includes variations of the 4-day week, the 4.5-day week, and job the 9-day fortnight.
Demand for the 4-day work week has actually skyrocketed, with an average of 47.4% of Flexa users listing it as their preferred way of working throughout October. During the exact same duration, 37.5% picked the 4.5-day week as their preference, and 14.1% specified the 9-day fortnight was theirs.
