At Entelo, respecting candidates’ rights is core to our values and making sure compliance is top of mind isn’t just the right thing to do for things like EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. Protecting our data is the right thing to do for our customers, candidates and anyone Entelo does business with. In addition to GDPR compliance, there are some additional ways Entelo protects its data.
Amazon recently narrowed down the list of cities in the running for its second headquarters from more than 200 applicants to just 20 finalists. Unsurprisingly, 9 of the 10 largest metro regions in America remain in the running, while the other 11 finalists range from mid-sized cities with burgeoning tech scenes (Denver, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Miami) to smaller cities and areas just outside of major cities that still offer many of the same amenities and talent pools as their central metropoles (Newark, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, Montgomery County, Maryland).
Today Entelo is proud to deliver the 2018 Recruiting Trends Report which summarizes and highlights the strategies, pain points and motivations driving candidate sourcing, engagement and outreach for modern talent teams. Last year, we released our inaugural report which uncovered preliminary hiring trends taking us into 2017. This year, the survey expands to also examine how companies and talent acquisition leaders allocate budgets and prioritize resources around key concerns such as employer branding, diversity efforts and the growing importance of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
After surveying 1,143 talent acquisition professionals from around the world, Entelo is here with key findings that will help recruiters stay ahead of the hiring trends and arm their teams with the right tools to win the war for talent in the year to come.
Here are 10 key findings and how to use them to improve your hiring best practices:
Hello friends!
This is Last Week in Talent, where yours truly runs down all the most interesting, important and intriguing talent and recruiting-related information from the last week in recruiting and hiring.
In case you missed it, Entelo (yes, us!) announced our Series C round last week (ps, we're hiring), Amazon announced they are buying Whole Foods (for the estimated equivalent of 3.7 billion bottles of Kumbucha), Careerbuilder just got bought, Wordpress is closing their super nice SF (office because no one actually uses it), McDonalds is using Snapchat to recruit, Facebook is teaching machines to negotiate with humans, Slack is raising a $500M megaround and Culture Amp announced that they had raised a $20M Series C.
Summer has arrived! Which means if you have a pool you spent all weekend working on your tan, sipping pina coladas and blasting Hall and Oates (or maybe that was just me). If not, you probably did everything in your power to stay cool (Hello three shower days!)
But content never tires and the War for Talent is showing no signs of cooling off, so welcome to a sunny and summery edition of Last Week in Talent.
Welcome to Last Week in Talent,
Last week the jobless rate hit a 10 year low while hiring and wages grew. In possibly related news, USA Today reported that job-hopping is on the rise: “63% of workers are open to making a switch, according to a separate national survey of 2,156 employees that ADP conducted. Seventeen percent are looking while 46% are receptive to an overture from a recruiter.”
Greetings friends and welcome to May,
This week we’ve got a truckful of interesting data points and trend analysis from across the technology, recruiting and human capital spectrums. This is Last Week in Talent. This week we’ve got a real humdinger, with all the recruiting news, industry analysis, and data points you need to be the smartest person in your Monday morning meeting.
For three days this week, sunny Anaheim played host to hundreds of recruiters, talent pros, and eager sourcers. Why? Because SourceCon Spring 2017 rolled into town, and the boolean flowed like free beer.
Headlined by a veritable who's who of sourcing and recruiting pros like Glen Cathey, Maren Hogan, Jim Stroud, and Katrina Collier, the conferenced was jam-packed with data, hacks, insights, and networking. In case you missed it, or if you just wanna relive some of your favorite moments, here's our official highlight reel:
Luke Beseda, talent partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, joins Hiring on all Cylinders to talk with Rob and Amina about working with Lightspeed’s wide-ranging portfolio of companies, which includes consumer brands like Snapchat, Giphy, and Bonobos alongside enterprise firms such as Docker, PCH, and OrigamiLogic.
Earlier this year, Entelo surveyed more than 740 talent acquisition professionals and leaders from around the world to identify the trends and innovations driving the recruiting and hiring industry forward. The results are unparallelled in scope, offering hard data on the strategies driving candidate engagement and outreach, employer branding, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and the rising importance of predictive analytics.
Entelo’s Talent Powerhouse Series came to a close this week, rounding up five of the talent industry’s most powerful influencers and practitioners to share their tactics for building and growing an organization.
Shally Steckerl, Meghan M. Biro, Robin Erickson, Lou Adler, and Katie Gechijian brought to the table their unique experiences, perspectives, and research on today’s talent market. Each of the Powerhouse webinars focused on solutions to the biggest challenges in hiring. Creating advanced sourcing strategies. The value and impact of employer branding on engaging candidates and retaining employees. How to develop a mature talent acquisition function. Why talent analytics can help recruiters close more, higher quality candidates. The key to getting executive buy-in on diversity hiring.
