Social media and mobile technology will revolutionise the recruitment industry

"Technology will be used by candidates to navigate the recruitment process and enable recruiters to explore their particular niche in the market according to a new report launched by REC Technology. 'Recruitment 2022 - The Effect of Social Media and Technology on Future Recruitment,’ examines the recruitment process from three key perspectives - candidate, hirer and recruitment agency – and highlights opportunities for change across the recruitment industry. The report shows how the recruitment process needs to adapt to the fragmenting jobs market where more candidates are choosing to work as interims and contractors and demands from hirers for flexible workers are increasing. Recruiters must demonstrate their knowledge and expertise of the area that they are working in order to engage in meaningful and influential dialogue on a personal level with the candidate. Technology will enable recruiters to communicate using their individual online personality rather than an anonymous corporate account.  The report is available free to all REC technology members who need to log into the REC website and other members and non-members can purchase the report from the REC bookshop"
