Recruitment training 101: SocialTalent content release

Recruiters have never been more in demand. Following on from the peak of the pandemic and the effects of The Great Resignation last year, organizations are looking to scale and backfill open positions as quickly as possible. So much so that according to IrishJobs.ie, the number of jobs in the Talent Acquisition space have risen by an incredible 420% since the back end of 2021!

The war for talent is well and truly here. And it’s recruiters who will feel the brunt of this, battling to attract and hire employees at an ever-increasing rate. But what if hiring recruiters wasn’t the only avenue for success on this front? A lot of the key, transferable skills needed to be an effective recruiter can be found in a litany of other professions. With just a bit of upskilling on the fundamentals, organizations can effectively develop their own pool of recruiting talent! And SocialTalent can help with this!

In our latest content release we have developed five complete missions to enable both new and novice recruiters to get up to speed on the most important elements of the job. Delivered by SocialTalent’s Director of Content, Holly Fawcett, along with our Senior Instructional Designer, Irene Villar, this content breaks down the important steps in the hiring process to set fledgling recruiters up for success.
