New Recruitment Methods in 2023
In this context, employers must propose new recruitment methods to attract candidates. Indeed, the labor market has evolved significantly in recent years, particularly with the health crisis linked to COVID-19, which disrupted traditional employment codes.
Thus, flexibility at work has become a decisive issue for younger generations, who attach increasing importance to the balance between professional and personal life. Teleworking, for example, was quickly adopted as a temporary measure during the lockdowns in 2020 and 2021. However, this practice persists despite the "return to normal" and is an attractive point that offers more flexibility to employees.
Candidates also attach great importance to corporate culture. Being a company committed to inclusion and diversity, as well as to environmental, social, and economic sustainability, can make all the difference.

In addition, accelerating the recruitment process is another effective strategy for attracting talent. Candidates are indeed increasingly demanding and are not prepared to wait long to land a job.
The new work dynamics are forcing companies to adapt to candidates and offer more flexible employment methods to attract talent. Employers must redouble their efforts to successfully recruit in 2023.
