Our latest research is coming out soon—“Building Next-Generation Recruiter Capabilities.” Based on the great response we’ve received from the membership on this upcoming work (whether from members who participated in a research conversation, took part in our survey, or registered for an upcoming meeting on the topic), the results should be an exciting, and important, quantitative breakthrough in the skills today’s recruiter should possess.
Recruiting execs are prioritizing the capabilities of their teams. This is not surprising given they are facing one of the most challenging recruiting environments we have seen in recent years. For instance, we often hear that “recruiters should be more strategic.” In fact, when asked, only 28% of recruiting executives are satisfied with their team’s ability to bring strategic value to the business.
But what does it mean for a recruiter to be "strategic"? And what capabilities should today's recruiter possess?
Our upcoming research will bring clarity to those questions amidst the renewed urgency felt by so many recruiting executives. Stay tuned.
