2024 recruitment trends: what's in store for the year ahead
&nbsp;
New year, new job scene. Or at least the saying goes, right? It seems that at the start of a every year there&rsquo;s always a shift in what&rsquo;s hot &ndash; and what&rsquo;s not, and 2024 is certainly no different. Sit back whilst we spill the tea on the latest trends to shake up our hiring habits. 
&nbsp;
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The tech takeover continues
It&rsquo;s no surprise that technology like AI and machine learning is switching up the hiring process. Phrases that we definitely didn&rsquo;t expect to see on our 2024 bingo card just two years ago, are now stealing the spotlight, revolutionising tasks such as candidate matching, CV screening, and initial interviewing. It&rsquo;s through these innovations that we&rsquo;re seeing a real upgrade across the recruitment process, with improvements to productivity, reductions in bias, and the opportunity for recruiters to focus on what really matters to them and their business, such as relationship building and talent management. Ready or not, tech is the future - don&rsquo;t be afraid to incorporate it into your 2024 game plan.
&nbsp;
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t shy away from the diversity dance
Equity, diversity, and inclusion &ndash; once buzzwords in the boardroom are now the real deal in successful organisations. When it comes to hiring, it's time for companies to make a big deal about their equality practices, implementing inclusive interviewing practices and diverse placements. But this shift isn&rsquo;t just about meeting societal expectations &ndash; it&rsquo;s a strategic effort to spark innovation and create a workplace that is vibrant and strong.
&nbsp;
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The remote revolution: it&rsquo;s here to stay
Believe it or not the office is no longer a ball and chain. And, whilst the remote work debate is still going strong, the practice itself looks set to stay, at least for now; according to ONS, a whopping 44% of workers reported home or hybrid working in 2023. Sure, these figures have changed slightly over the past couple of years &ndash; in the UK there has been a sharp decline in fully remote work since 2021, when most employees returned to the office in some capacity. But one thing&rsquo;s crystal clear: for those roles that can make it work, there&rsquo;s a growing expectation that there ought to be some WHF flexibility. The way we work is definitely changing, with companies figuring out that happy employees are generally productive ones. Which often means allowing them to choose their ideal workspace.
&nbsp;
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Skills over degrees
It appears there&rsquo;s a noticeable change in the air regarding employers&rsquo; approach to hiring, with more and more waking up to the fact that the dynamic and diverse workplaces of today demand more than just technical know-how and academic accolades. Of course, they're important, but there's a bigger, more nuanced picture. It's about honing in on the intangibles &ndash; those down-to-earth skills that make a workplace click. Think effective communication, adaptability, and problem-solving; these are the traits that offer impact and value to a team. The shift isn't about tossing that pile of CVs aside (apologies to all the admin avoiders); it's about looking past the paper trail and focusing on the skills that truly spell success. Yep, we&rsquo;re officially in our &lsquo;soft skills&rsquo; era, where a candidate's ability to navigate the human side of work is just as crucial as their paper credentials.
&nbsp;
5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Levelling up the candidate experience 
This year, it&rsquo;s predicted that the candidate experience will become a key differentiator for employers, with today&rsquo;s job seekers expecting a seamless, personalised, and candidate-centric recruitment process. They&rsquo;re looking for employers who get what makes them tick, &nbsp;understands their &nbsp;values and career goals, and guides them through the job-hunting journey with the right info at the right time. Because let&rsquo;s face it, nobody needs a headache when job-hunting. The key is making the candidate feel like a VIP; organisations that pull this off will build a rep as a workplace that everyone wants to be part of.
&nbsp;
So, there you have it &ndash; the lowdown on what's shaking in the UK's job market this year. In a landscape driven by technology, diversity, and changing work dynamic, it&rsquo;s imperative that companies stay ahead of the curve and adapt to the evolving industry. By doing so, they&rsquo;ll undoubtedly set their organisations up for success in 2024.
&nbsp;

2024 recruitment trends: what's in store for the year ahead

We often talk about job seekers sharpening their skills for the big interview, but hold up &ndash; what about the folks on the other side of the table? That&rsquo;s right, we're shining a light on why it's absolutely crucial for hiring managers to rock the art of interviewing. And whilst it might be a skill anyone can learn, we want to let you know all about Google&rsquo;s Interview Warm-up programme, a handy resource that can significantly elevate your hiring prowess.
&nbsp;
Whilst it's aimed at job seekers &ndash; we happen to think hiring managers can benefit from it too. Let&rsquo;s have a look at why it could be a game-changer for your business.
&nbsp;
Crafting questions is trickier than it appears.
It can be a stressful task to craft interview questions &ndash; even for the most experienced recruiters. Google pooled together a range of questions covering different topics that you might consider adding to your question bank.
&nbsp;
Of course, certain companies follow a rigid interview structure with predetermined questions and if your company has a set plan, it's best to stick to it. However, if that's not the case, they could be a beneficial kickstart for you, or they might even offer a bit of inspo to jazz up your current questions.
&nbsp;
It's a handy tool to evaluate candidate responses.
When a candidate tackles a question, Interview Warmup gives a simple rundown to show if they&rsquo;re hitting the key points or going round in circles. It can also can suggest topics for discussion to give candidates fresh ideas if their mind has gone blank (we&rsquo;ve all been there, right?!)
This in turn can benefit recruiters and hiring managers, because knowing what you're looking for helps you help the candidate. Keep in mind, if someone doesn't stand out at interview, it doesn't mean they won't excel in the role. You can guide them to give you the answers you need to figure out if they can really handle the job.
It doesn&rsquo;t replace actual practice or real advice from the pros
Bear this in mind &ndash; whilst it&rsquo;s a handy little tool, and can assist both candidates and hiring managers in getting ready for an interview, it's not the whole shebang for honing your interview skills. That said, it's a great starting point&mdash;especially if it's been a while since you've done an interview. Why not check it out?

Google’s Interview Warm Up: A hiring manager’s secret weapon

Congratulations! You've been offered a new job and have decided to accept it. It's an exciting step in your career, which shows that your skills and expertise are in demand. However, just as you've made your mind up, your current employer surprises you with a counter-offer. While it might be tempting to stay, it's essential to carefully consider the pros and cons before making your decision. As an experienced recruitment agency, we&rsquo;re here to help you navigate this sticky situation.
&nbsp;
The pros of accepting a counter-offer:
&nbsp;
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Financial gain
Generally, counter-offers come with an increase in your current salary or benefits. Your employer may offer you more money, a bonus, or another incentive in an effort to get you to stay. That can be particularly enticing, especially if you were initially leaving for better compensation.
&nbsp;
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Comfort and familiarity:
Staying with your current employer means you won't have to deal with settling into a new workplace if, like lots of us, you find it a little daunting. You already know the role, company culture, colleagues, and the work environment.
&nbsp;
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No disruption:
Changing jobs can be disruptive. If you accept the counter-offer, you won't have to go through the inconvenience of quitting, transitioning and building new relationships with colleagues and clients.
&nbsp;
The cons of accepting a counter-offer:
&nbsp;
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Trust and loyalty:
Accepting a counter-offer may lead to a perception of disloyalty by your employer. They might wonder if you'll consider leaving again, which could affect your career progression.
&nbsp;
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Temporary fix:
Counter-offers are often a short-term solution to a long-term issue. If your main reasons for wanting to leave your current job were related to culture, work-life balance, lack of opportunities for progression, then a counter-offer won't address these underlying problems.
&nbsp;
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Career growth:
It&rsquo;s likely your new role came with the promise of career growth, including new responsibilities or challenges. Staying with your current employer could actually limit your professional development and the chance to grow within your field.
&nbsp;
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Burned bridges:
Rejecting a job offer after initially accepting it can damage your reputation with the potential employer and within the industry. Consider the long-term complications this decision could have on your professional relationships.
&nbsp;
While a counter-offer may seem attractive at first glance, it's crucial to think beyond the immediate financial gains and consider your long-term career goals and personal growth. Before making a decision, have an open and honest conversation with both your current and potential employers about your priorities and concerns. Ultimately, the decision should align with your career aspirations and bring you closer to achieving your professional dreams.

The counter-offer dilemma: Should you stay or should you go?
